Háfrig

General information - Óroil śíre

The flag of the Háfrig (Avorenta) language

Háfrig [IPA: ˈhaːfrig] is the name of a constructed language family containing Háfrigerrak, SPQ and Avorenta. Here you can read about Avorenta [ˈɒvorɛntɒ] which is created by Attila Répai in 2008. The word ’avorenta’ means 'regulated’, as Háfrigerrak and SPQ underwent a regularisation, the result of this is the Avorenta language. Its grammar is based on the Hungarian language, therefore it is an agglutinating language. Its dictionary contains over 2100 words, most of them are ficticious, but a few derive from Turkish, Lithuanian, Latin, Germanic and Celtic languages.

The main advantages of Avorenta:

• It has a logical grammar without a lot of exceptions.
• Its vocabulary can be enlarged without restraint because we can form a large amount of words with suffixes.
• Words are easy to pronounce.
• We can express long English sentences very briefly.
  eg. 'I and you could have taken them back down to the cellar' = Ájdivvélüstivemó l-ármoga.
• We can express slight differences of importance with word order.
  eg. I vínor ővixe gefűleó ha fereneldum. = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw one of my friends.'
  A fereneldum gefűleó hi vínor ővixe. = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw one of my friends.'
  Ővixe hi vínor gefűleó ha fereneldum. = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw one of my friends.'
  Gefűleó ha fereneldum i vínor ővixe. = 'When I was walking on the street, I saw one of my friends.'

Alphabet and pronounciation - Abece het átcórán

The alphabet of the Háfrigvotán (HGV) script

Writing systems - Votánfádacche

HGE is originally written with a unique script called Háfrigvotán [IPA: ˈhaːfrigˌvotaːn] (HGV) but the latin alphabet is more widely used.

Notes:

• Dź and ź appear only in foreign words.
• Q is pronounced as [k] before a, â, á, o, ó, u, ú and [ʦ] before e, ê, é, i, í, ö, ő, ü, ű.

Linking vowels and consonants - Roêndögarce

We use them to avoid consonant or vowel clusters.

• Between words and suffixes we use a definite linking vowel (see below)
• Between any types of words we use h- or ö- (eg. mínisse h-effár, ortend ö-gnu)

That's why HGE has 6 forms of the words i ('the'), e ('and') and a ('a/an').

Nouns and adjectives - Hênmisse he nilganmisse

Noun and adjective declension - Hênmis- e nilganmispégońán

Like Hungarian, HGE is an agglutinaing language. Nouns and adjectives can be in 18 cases either singular or in plural. Words does not have gender. Nouns can be divided into 5 groups:

• Nouns ending in a consonant (eg. hutt 'house')
• a-stem (eg. capta 'room')
• e-stem (eg. pikte 'bag')
• i-stem (eg. zülti 'thing')
• u-stem (eg. histu 'news')

Suffixes have two types:

• Suffixes starting with a vowel (eg. -um, -áma)
• Suffixes starting with a consonant (These suffixes also have a linking vowel, which is to be used after a consonant. (eg. -(e)n, -(é)ti)

If you add a suffix starting with a vowel to a noun ending in a vowel, the original vowel at the end of the word disappears (eg. capta + -iri > capt- + -iri > captiri). If the final vowel and the suffix is the same, we write a long vowel instead of both (eg. histu + -u > histú). We don't use a linking vowel after words ending in an N, R or L (eg. veffel + -(i)s > veffels). The ending -S changes into a -Z and -AU/-EU changes into -AW/-EW (eg. katas + -um > katazum, bláneu > blánewio).

Verbs - Dífekke

Conjugation - Dífekkpégońán

Verbs have three forms: D1 for present, D2 for past and D3 for future. These are formed by changing one of the vowels of the verb.

D1 (Present)		D2 (Past)		D3 (Future)
a/â	araq	o	aroq	ê	arêq
á	ám	ó	óm	é	ém
e/ê	left	a	laft	i	lift
é	él	á	ál	í	íl
i	eldvin	o	eldvon	ê	eldvên
í	lím	au	laum	é	lém
o	ćebor	a	ćebar	ö	ćebör

ú	húz	ó	hóz	ű	hűz
ü	śrükk	u	śrukk	i	śrikk
ű	krűn	au	kraun	í	krín

There are three tenses (present, past, future) and four moods (indicative, conditional, subjunctive, imperative). Past tense is formed with the suffix -ó and future tense is formed with the suffix -á added to the conjugated D1 form. As there are only verbs ending in a consonant, we can add the suffixes without any changes. When we use the imperative, we put the personal pronoun or its short form before the D1 form of the verb.

	Indicative	Conditional	Imperative 1 Subjunctive	Imperative 2
SG1	-e	-ive	-ez	-
SG2	-i	-ivi	-iz	ti-- / t'-
SG3a (general)	-	-iv	-oz	ho-- / h'-
SG3b (masculine)	-og	-ivog	-ox / -ogoz	hog--

PL2	-in	-ivin	-inz	du-- / d'-
PL3	-est	-ivest	-edz / -estoz	ve-- / v'-

The verb ren ('to be') is also regular.

	Indicative			Conditional			Imperative 1 Subjunctive
	present	past	future	present	past	future	present	future

PL3	rest	restó	restá	rivest	rivestó	rivestá	redz	redzá

Passive voice - Gandífend fóda

Form: D1 + -u / -tu (after L, N, R) + the correct form of ren (it can be omitted in SG3 in present tense). Sample sentences:

• Ille kataze mőr pellu bez ovvertu restó. ('These books are read by many children)
• La pemúr gerévu. ('That picture is seen.')

Another way to express passive voice: add the -út formative before the personal suffix.

• Ille kataze mőr pellu bez ovverútestó. ('These books are read by many children)
• La pemúr gerévút. ('That picture is seen.')

The object of the action - I dífáns deveri

Instead of using the accusative form of the personal pronoun, we can use the possessive suffix. Sample sentences:

• Réve veum. > Révüste. ('I watch them.')
• Ovvélivestó meum il ükóla. > Ovvéleldivestó l-ükóla. ('They could have taken me to the school.')

Pronouns - Elongömisse

Personal, possessive and reflexive pronouns - Mínâl, ájdánâl et ájkámüssend elongömisse

	Personal pronoun	Possessive pronoun	Possessive suffix	Reflexive pronoun
SG1	me / iss	mes	-eld	feld
SG2	ti	tis	-ild	fild
SG3a (general)	ho	hos	-old	fold
SG3b (masculine)	hog	hox / hos
SG3c (feminine)	hag	hax / has	-ald	fald
PL1a (general)	ke	kes	-ând	fând
PL1b (SG1 + SG2/PL2)	ken	kens	-ênd	fênd
PL1c (SG1 + SG3/PL3)	kun	kuns	-und	fund
PL2	du	dus	-ind	find
PL3	ve	ves	-üst	füst

We decline personal pronouns like nouns. Exceptions are listed below:

• The accusative form of the pronouns me, ti and ve contains the final vowel: meum, tium, veum.
• The elative form of ti and ho are written with a long í: tí, hí. (to avoid confusing them with ti ('you') and hi ('the')).

Possessive pronouns are simply the genitive forms of personal pronouns.

Demonstrative pronouns - Kívend elongömisse

There are three types of demonstrative pronouns:

• Demonstrative pronouns referring to a near object
• Demonstrative pronouns referring to a distant object
• General demonstrative pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns referring to near or distant objects
	this	that	this kind of	that kind of	as large as this	as large as that	so much/many (near)	so much/many (distant)
	ill	la	nix	nax	fex	fax	vis	vas
a-	all	ala	anix	anax	afex	afax	avis	avas
e-	ell	ela	enix	enax	efex	efax	evis	evas

The prefix a- means 'the same'.

• -¿Óle d-elong ö-katazum veri? -Gan, sítle h-alum. ('-Are you reading another book? -No, I'm still reading the same one.') Note that ala, which refers to a distant object, is used, because it's from the view of the person who asked the question.
• Illio h-üsmegio h-avas afal ro, sir il elongio. ('There are as many apples in this basket than in the other.')

The prefix e- means 'the other'.

• -¿Illu bissiru genéqwidamá? -Gan, ellu. ('-Shall we buy these newspapers? -No, the others (which are these ones).')

General demonstrative pronouns are the same as the noun suffixes. Singular nominative form is ü or y.

Case	Singular	Plural
Nominative	ü / y	e
Accusative	um	u
Genitive	is	isse
Dative	áj	o
Instrumental-comitative	en	éne
Causal-final	âd	áde
Translative	wá	wé
Terminative	éti	éte
Essive-formal/modal	oj	ojje
Inessive	io / jo	eo
Adessive	om	óme
Superessive	or	óre
Elative	í	ei
Ablative	im	íme
Delative	ir	íre
Illative	á	ea
Allative	am	áme
Sublative	ar	áre

They are used when distance of the object isn't important or it doesn't refer to a phisical object (eg. emotions, colours, numbers or whole clauses).

• Śurvoteó hi jorqum, ginćo h-offergetez um. ('I wrote down the number, so that I won't forget it.')

Adverbs - Potessöcorge

Adverbs from nouns and adjectives - Potessöcorge hênmissei he nilganmissei

Adverbs are formed with the suffix -at. Examples:

• Consonant stem adjective > Adverb
  felt ('good') > feltat ('well') ¡Geniffiz um feltat! ('Learn this well.')
• Vowel stem adjective > Adverb
  ferme ('warm') > fermat ('warmly') I pindrio hi míne fermat ö-tissest. ('People dress warmly in winter.')

Pronoun-adverbs - Elongömissál potessöcorge

Pronoun-adverbs are adverbs which have some common features with pronouns, for example they can get the same prefixes/suffixes.

		Where?	To where?	From where?	To which direction?	From which direction?	When?	When? (at ... o'clock)	How?
Interrogative		ós	ósa	ósi	ósar	ósir	ênn	vik	éda

	-ven	ósven	ósaven	ósiven	-	-	-	-	édaven

Real adverbs - Feterrál potessöcorge

There are real adverbs referring to time, place and manner. The first group of them is similar to the demonstrative pronouns: every adverb has a 'near' and 'distant' form. They can also get the a- and e- prefixes.

Real adverbs with 2 forms
	this time	that time	in this way	in that way	here	there	to this place	to that place	from this place	from that place
	léjk	lájk	śe	śo	hett	hatt	hetta	hatta	hetti	hatti
a-	alájk	aléjk	a(ś)śe	a(ś)śo	ahett	ahatt	ahetta	ahatta	ahetti	ahatti
e-	elájk	eléjk	e(ś)śe	e(ś)śo	ehett	ehatt	ehetta	ehatta	ehetti	ehatti

In the second type, abverbs of place get the suffix -io ('in') and adverbs of manner get the suffix -at.

• Adverbs of time:
  óle ('already'), sítle ('still'), ifte ('later'), finér ('sooner'), nu ('now'), len ('sometime/then'), lepti ('after this'), lapti ('after that'), álvin / víven ('always').
• Adverbs of place:
  utio ('outside'), asio / táńio ('inside'), śurio ('up'), difio ('down'), ápio ('ahead/in front'), domio ('at the back'), licio ('aside').
• Adverbs of manner:
  anirat ('alone'), maurat ('together').

Numbers - Jorce

Definite numbers, names of months and days - Ogadiráta jorce, i mêndisse he tikisse mis

To form ordinal numbers or fractions from cardinal numbers, we add the -x or -ć suffixes after or instead of the final sound. The names of the months and days are also formed from the cardinal numbers with the suffixes -ximênd (-x + mênd ('month')) and -~eg ( ~ means that the final consonant of the stem duplicates).

	Cardinal number	Ordinal number -x	Fraction -ć	Month -ximênd	Days of the week -~eg
0	zür	züx	züć
1	an	anx	-	anximênd	anneg
2	dau	daux	dauć	dauximênd	daweg
3	tor	to(r)x	to(r)ć	torximênd	torreg
4	cet	cex	ceć	ceximênd	cetteg
5	fim	fix	fić	fiximênd	fimmeg
6	sit	six	sić	siximênd	sitteg
7	völl	vö(ll)x	vö(ll)ć	völlximênd	völleg

10	tich	tix	tić	tiximênd
11	tian	tianx	tianć	tianximênd
12	tidau	tidaux	tidauć	tidauximênd
100	ünt(rit)	üntrix	üntrić
1000	epaz	epax	epać
1000000	bill	bi(ll)x	bi(ll)ć

• Numbers from 11 to 19 are formed with the prefix ti- (eg. tian (11), tidau (12), titor (13)).
• Numbers from 20 to 90 are formed with the suffix -te (eg daute (20), torte (30), cette (40)).
• Vowel clusters in compound numbers are replaced with an apostrophe (eg. daute + an > daut'an).
• Longer numbers can be read in two ways:
  12,369,854 > andaubill-torsitnojepaz-gadöfimcet (Literally: 'onetwomillion-threesixninethousand-eight[linking vowel]fivefour')
  741 > völlüntrit-cett'an (Literally: 'sevenhundred-fortyone')

Indefinite numbers - Ogadireńńa jorce

Verbal prefixes - Dífekkfinpégońe

Verbal prefixes can express the direction of the action, they can modify the meaning of the verb or they can mark that the action is finished. The most frequently used verbal prefixes are these:
