| This is Fyfyh's phonology, largely inspired by welsh. This '''will''' be extended in the future. So far though what I've got.

| == Number ==
| |
|
| |
| Fyfyh uses base 6. The number system, all numbers begin with an f. To produce the negative form of the number you change the inital f to a t. Nought/Zero has two names, Fyf or Tyf, both are equally acceptable in every situation.

| To produce numbers greater than 5, You simply chain the numbers and drop the inital f. A numeric Table is below shows the numbers up to 100 in Fyfyh however you can use the numbers higher than that.

| Larger numbers names will likely have names such as 100 (in Fyfyh numbers - base 6), 1000, etc..
| |
|
| |
| === Large Numbers ===
| |
|
| |
| Large numbers have a number of ways to represent them, there is the long way of chaining numbers (by dropping the f (or t)) like shown above and there is another (preferred way).
| |
|
| |
| ==== Formal ====
| |
| This way is for formal writing or speech and is a little more verbose and long winded. We will be using the verb Kynta. This is to denote with something, lets use 1,000 as an example:
| |
|
| |
| Tyf o Fyd kynta fan.
| |
|
| |
| What have we said here is : one is with three of zero.
| |
|
| |
| The start shouldn't look too confusing one is with 3 okay so is it 13, well it's not. The strange bit is the three of zero, this is how we denote attributes in Fyfyh. What you're actually saying is 1 is with three zeros, seems sensible, you then just take that sentence and change Fan to the number of your choosing.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Informal ====
| |
|
| |
| This is similar to the formal so if you haven't read that you ought to. Basically it's a shortened form of that. The first change is we drop the Tyf o, we assume you're talking about zero. You then are left with:
| |
|
| |
| Fyd kynta fan
| |
|
| |
| one is with three (this is fine to say in semi-formal situations), however just for chatting this still is a long winded way so it then moves to:
| |
|
| |
| Fykynan = One thousand.
| |
|
| |
| Fy- (from Fyd) -kyn- (from Kynta) and -an (from fan)
| |
|
| |
| You then can do
| |
|
| |
| 1,000 - Fykynan
| |
| 10,000 - Fykynah
| |
| 100,000 - Fykynyk
| |
| 1,000,000 - Fykynydyf
| |
| etc...
| |
|
| |
| == Grammar ==
| |
|
| |
| === Tense & Sentence structure ===
| |
| The sentence structure in Fyfyh takes on a different word order depending on the tense. The structures are as follows:
| |
|
| |
| '''Past'''
| |
| <dative> <verb> <subject> <object>
| |
|
| |
| '''Present'''
| |
| <dative> <subject> <verb> <object>
| |
|
| |
| '''Future'''
| |
| <dative> <subject> <object> <Verb>
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| You'll notice the dative will always be the first thing you hear, this is constant throughout all the tenses. You should assume it's the present tense, if you need to express any other tense you have to add the subject and object they can't be omitted until the intended tense is clear.
| |
|
| |
| === Negating verbs ===
| |
| To negate a verb you simply follow the verb with 'f' (it '''must''' go after the verb). This is used also to say yes and no. If you want to say yes say take the greeting example:
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''Person A:''' Wytal ky? (''Want to hang out?'')
| |
|
| |
| '''Person B''' Wytal. (''Yes'')
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| And another example of the negative:
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''Person A''' Wytal ky? (''Want to hang out?'')
| |
|
| |
| '''Person B''' Wytal f. (''No'')
| |
|
| |
| == Usage of Fyfyh ==
| |
|
| |
| === Greeting ===
| |
| In Fyfyh the normal situation is you would say "Wytal ky?" the question you're asking is basically "Do you want to hang out?" or "Want to chat?". The response to this is ether wytal (yes) or wytal f (no), if they don't want to you're expected to leave/stop talking to them (for a while).
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The word Haly is used when you're greeting someone but you're not giving them an option about it. You're going to engage in a conversation. This would be considered rude if you did this when it's not needed. Examples of use cases might be a police officer who needs to speak to you or even arrest you might start the conversation like this. Another use maybe a friend is upset and you're worried for their safety so you may start like this as you're not giving them an option to decline to engage in the conversation/be with you.
| |
|
| |
| ''Only use haly when needed!''
| |
