| '''Dmezk''' is a language created, and still being modified and creating new words, by Even T. Dybevik in 2011. It's an artlang created with full grammar and many words so it's able to be spoken as a normal language.

| =Grammar=
| |
| | |
| Dmezk follows the SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) order and is very much like English in sentence construction (Most like Norwegian). A sample sentence is 'Dek brotsea krotszy' = I like cats, which uses a personal pronoun, I = Dek, a verb in present tense ( To like = O brotse - Like = Brotsea) and a plural noun (Cat = Krots, Cats = Krotszy)
| |
| | |
| To make a sentence negative it's a little harder than english. There is no word for 'not', there is one, but it's rarely used (Not = Enu). You have to take a statement, and add a suffix into the verbs infinitive form. For example; Dek amora nun = I love you. Dek amorenu nun = I don't love you. Note that this didn't have anything to do with the word not, enu. There is four "negative" words you can add to verbs, they are Ane, Ne, Enu, Nu.
| |
| | |
| *Verbs with Consonant-Consonant: Ane; I believe in you = Dek eufala tsa nun. I don't believe in you = Dek eufalane tsa nun.
| |
| *Verbs with Consonant-Vowel: Ne; I'm working hard = Dek lokya po. I'm not working hard = Dek lokyne po.
| |
| *Verbs with Vowel-Consonant: Enu; I'm looking forward to tomorrow = Dek ayara dek an mofazar. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow = Dek ayarenu dek an mofazar.
| |
| *Verbs with Vowel-Vowel: Nu; I'm getting a puppy = Dek ejatsua manubmed. I'm not getting a puppy = Dek ejatsunu manubmed.
| |
| | |
| Now you can make, nearly every, sentence negative, indstead of trying to remember which has consonant and which has consonant, try to remember every word negative in itself, so you know that exact word negative, then it's easier and it will just pop up in your head.
| |
| | |
| What's the negative of Amor? Ehm, that's vowel-consonant, so it must be... WRONG!
| |
| What's the negative of Amor? Amor is Amorenu! I remember that... CORRECT!
| |
| | |
| ===Questions===
| |
| | |
| To ask questions in Dmezk is very related to making sentences negative. Here you take statements and add suffixes to make them questions. Therefore you don't need words like How, Why, Who, and so on. (They exist but is never used). For example; I love you = Dek amora nun. Do I love you? = Dek amoremo nun? Technically there isn't questioning marks in Dmezk, there is an own sign for that in the script, but it's used in the romanization. The suffixes are; Eme, Mu, Emo, Mi. Remember not to mix them with the negative suffixes. Here are som examples, you add them to the verb in infinitive form.
| |
| | |
| *Verbs with Consonant-Consonant: Eme; I'm shopping = Dek fumena. Am I shopping? = Dek fumeneme?
| |
| *Verbs with Consonant-Vowel: Mu; I'm jumping high = Dek jakuea flumar. Am I jumping high? = Dek jakuemu flumar?
| |
| *Verbs with Vowel-Consonant: Emo; I'm digging a hole = Dek aborinura fuzar. Am I digging a hole? = Dek aborinuremo fuzar?
| |
| *Verbs with Vowel-Vowel: Mi; I'm giving you a hug = Dek urhdua nun misza. Am I giving you a hug? = Dek urhdumi nun misza?
| |
| | |
| Some useful questions are;
| |
| *What's your name? = Muno metsa e? (Literary; Your name is...)
| |
| *Where are you from? = Nun e am? (Literary; You are from...)
| |
| *Who are you? = Nun e? (Literary; You are...)
| |
| *How old are you? = Myorobosza?
| |
| *How are you? = Marhale?
