[conlang_learners] khanjis in Sambahsa

[Olivier Simon]

To est baygh maedwn. Correcsiem ta khanjis lyt serter !
 
This means "This is very kind. I'll fix these khanjis a little later !
 
"To": "that" as a generality
"est": conjugated verb "to be"  (cf. Latin "est", Gothic "ist", Russian "estj"..)
"baygh" : "a lot, very" (Cf. Sanskrit "bahu" = "a lot"; Afrikaans "baaie")
maedwn : from a root "ma" meaning good, exists in Celtic and in Basque I believe. Pronounced regularly: "mAydun". 
"Correcsiem" (or "correxiem") = correg (to correct) + "sie" (future) + "m" (1° person singular)
"ta" = "those, these" in plural neutral nominative and accusative
"khanji" = Mandarin "hanzi", Japanese "kanji"
"lyt" = "a little" from "lytil" = "little"; cf "meg" = "baygh, very" from "megil" (great, big) (cf. Greek: "megalê", Old English "mickle")
"sert" is from IE but I don't know its posterity; "er" is the comparative
 
Do you have a personal website or a blog ? if so I'll mention it at the top of the list. 
 
Tiel mox !
