Packilvanian language: Difference between revisions

** In the singular form, the prefix ''mi-'' is used or the word ''min''. If the speaker is the subject then, the prefix ''mi'' replaces the noun as well as the case and other initial markings on the verb root. For instance: "''Mitad'''Mi'''tad muMeer''" means "I speak to the Governor". If the roles are reversed then the sentence would change as follows: ''muMeer mutad min''.

** In the plural form, to include the addressee, the pronoun prefix is ''Wa'' and the stand alon word is ''Wan''. "'''''Wa'''salam welumajhid''" means "We prayed at the Temple". Alternatively, it can be: "The teacher spoke to us", that being "''Murab mutadam '''wan'''''". Alternatively, the pronoun can be placed at the head of the sentence as follows "''O'''wan''' metadas muMeer''" means "We were spoken to by the Governor". To exclude the addressee, you would use the prefix ''sil-'' and the word ''silne'' as follows: "We are finishing the business we started". "'''''Sil'''nahal luchubal lubidayt '''silne''' ".

** To speak about someone or something in the singular third person form, the prefix dhu- is used and the stand alone word dhun is used. For example, the sentence "John came by the house last summer. He brought a basket of apples". In Packilvanian this would be: "''luIhanIhan luyatammuyatam lusayf lumad welubayt. '''Dhu'''ahdur lusala aletufaah''". Another example is "I have not seen him since he drove by. Have you looked for him in the shed?" In Packilvanian this would be, "''Neminara '''dhun''' sayinka dhushareed'''dhu'''shareed wehuna. Dunarafim '''dhun''' welutasalit''?"

** To speak about a group, you would use the prefix "ish-" and the pronoun "ishne". For example: "They had a meeting with their boss yesterday". This is "'''''Is'''hmijhalis lulamish lumaharaj aluale'''ishne'''''".
