Natural we will also have dual, trial, quadral, paucal (small group) and plural as well as singular. Oh, and also a set of passive pronouns (i.e. unknown subject). What about verbs? I think past perfect, perfect, past, preterite, present, future, future perfect is almost satisfying for tenses but what about modes?Vurn wrote:Ok, let's get started on the pronouns.
I - 12 different ones depending on gender (male, female) and age (kid, teenager, adult, middle-aged, old, primordial (like Satan or God))
You - 12 combinations + 3 different ones depending on if you don't know the gender, the age, or both
He/she - 15 combinations
It - 20 ones (physical state (I think solids, liquids, gases, plasma, Einstein-Bose condensate, I think it's enough) movement (if it's moving or not), gender)
Naaaah, too simple. We should mark every number from 1 to 1000000, and from there in intervals of 10 until the Graham number, from there in intervals of 100. And some pronouns depending on the gender, number, social status, age, height, facial characteristics, number of hairs in their head, number of times they have coughed since they were born, and many other notable things. And about verbs, we should have a special mark for every time from the Big Bang until about 10^60 years from now, changing each millisecond (much more accurate, don't you think? XD), and about modes, well, a jussive mode, a conditional mode, a semiconditional mode, a special mode for sarcasm, a subjunctive mode, an imperative mode, a suggestive mode, an exhortative mode, an abusive mode, a risative mode, a plorative mode, a somnative mode... etc. etc.Anteroinen wrote:Natural we will also have dual, trial, quadral, paucal (small group) and plural as well as singular.

Naturally we also need quotative, potential, optative and naturally an eventive.OnyxIonVortex wrote:Naaaah, too simple.

But that would make it easier to understand D: What we need is to not allow people to talk with a different voice when they are sarcastic or ironic.OnyxIonVortex wrote:a special mode for sarcasm
Oh yeah, a sarco-ironic mood! That truly sounds like Hellish.azareus wrote:But that would make it easier to understand D: What we need is to not allow people to talk with a different voice when they are sarcastic or ironic.OnyxIonVortex wrote:a special mode for sarcasm
Is that not appropriate?OnyxIonVortex wrote:Anyways, nobody should be able to speak and write those amount of marks, so they would probably communicate only by growls XD
What was this name and initial?sundayfever wrote:Hahhaha
We had our failures here too. One girl wrote her name and an initial of her last name on the wall with a spray. We mocked her for years.
