I didn't talk about the causative, the reflexive, the future and even some verbs.... yet.

As the creator of Vok, I don't plan to create the longest word in the world. Anyway, the language would become a fail because we would have to decode the sentences every time. The goal is to ease the transmission of information.

Therefore, I cancel the tense and aspect infixes and I introduce instead the good old time adverbs. The imperative suffix will stay though. These adverbs will be your clues about the tense. Of course, it can be anything else as long as the time is expressed. In coherence with what I wrote above, that time expression stuff must be outside the clause.

Here are some time adverbs:


Now, the causative and the reflexive. Of course, it doesn't work like in Na'vi. The reflexive can simply be done by repeating the pronoun (don't forget to add the case).

Example: Evlaer (I speak to myself).

There will be a small causative verbal prefix: pru-, ''cause to''.

Finally, I want to add some words to the language.

I've already added a couple of words in the dictionary and I'm going to add some more.

ioth'a - leader
por - eat
porpor - delicious
hula - near
hup - far

nui - good
janui - bad
narin - good (smell)
janarin - bad (smell)
naima - noisy

Comparatives and superlatives

The Good Vawmataw replaces the normal -en- with -jur- and -jer- for the comparative and the superlative.

Comparative: -jur-
Supelative: -jer-

AND THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS! ;D

If you use -pu- (non-human ''gender''), then you use -jup- and -jep-.

Better, best, worse and worst or also exceptions, like in English:

nuiur, nuier, januiur, januier.
With pu: nuiup, nuiep, januiup, januiep.

It doesn't end here:

narinur, nariner, janarinur, janariner.
With pu: narinup, narinep, janarinup, janarinep.

Ok, END OF THE EXCEPTIONS. For now.

Other words?

nainain - stop
nain - stop! (yes, an irregular imperative)

But why no? ... each language has some exceptions.

No need of using "be" is in Russian. In some sentences we say for example I Marcin instead I am Marcin -> Я Marcin.

That's very interesting. In Hawaiian they don't have the verb to be too.
