This is where we translate the LCC4 relay torch from English to Naeso.
English text
The Evil Goat
- A beautiful woman is riding an elephant over a bridge.
- The goat stopped running.
- The goat said, “Lady! You are very beautiful! Marry me!”
- The woman said, “You ask me to marry you? No! You do not know my name!”
- The goat said, “Your name? I don't ask you to say the name!
- I ask you to marry me, and you said 'no'!”
- The woman said, “I didn't say that!”
- and cut the goat's head off its body.
- The head on the bridge said “Does this really mean that you say ‘yes’?”
Translation
Let's go line by line here.
Title
Bendiza Tthuy
1
Mina'am ku ona jensi mym tampfy so bridge.
- The Vašt î Kûvik text uses a progressive aspect particle in this sentence, so "'am" is pretty much required here. —FH
2
Run-ja(zo) ku bendiza.
- How do we translate the auxiliary verb "stop" into Naeso? We could simply use the perfective aspect, or combine it with the inceptive aspect, or maybe someone has a better idea? —FH
3
Jia ku bendiza pan “Ona! Jensi very pan tha! Kaminhtogy ku tha pan si!”
- Here, there are two things that have not yet been decided: How direct speech is indicated (here I simply used the focal preposition), and how a copula is formed (here I made the adjective into a verb like in sifi benh bu dakai, which I had voted against earlier but now I think it it is an elegant solution). Feel free to suggest alternatives. —FH
4
Jia ku ona pan “Nugoli ku pae pan bam kaminhto ku si pan pae? Ni! Baum-negative ku pae pan teono sibi!”
- Why do we have two interrogative mood suffixes? —FH
- I suppose we'll find outin due time, right? 'Let usage define meaning'. There are, after all, many ways to ask a question. -BF
5
Jia ku bendiza pan “Teono thabi? Nugo-negative ku si pan bam jia ku tha pan teono!
- I think it makes sense if the goat refers to the woman using "tha" since he's asking her to marry him. —FH
6
Nugo ku si pan bam kaminhto ku tha pan si, bvi jia ku tha pan ni!”
7
Jia ku ona pan “Jia-negative ku si pan inna!”.
8
Tsam pan bveo bendizabi kim kemga kebi.
9
Jia ku bveo so bridge pan “Jia-intention ku tha pan ae?”
