so let me understand. can I use <us> adjectives non-attributively or not?

No

[Tirea Aean]

true. <awn> and <us> create "adjectives" which may ONLY be used attributively.

(except that thing above where rusey and kerusey are actually adjectives and may be used as such to the full extent)


tirea@ean:~$ vrrtepcli rusey
Vrrtep CLI v1.9 by Tirea Aean. run 'vrrtepcli -h' for usage.

adj., n. alive, living, living thing

tirea@ean:~$ vrrtepcli kerusey
Vrrtep CLI v1.9 by Tirea Aean. run 'vrrtepcli -h' for usage.

adj. dead

tirea@ean:~$

[Sireayä mokri]

quite the interesting exception, kefyak?

Srane. What's also interesting is that rusey can be used as a noun as well. Looks like it wasn't very convenient to use it always attributively, so what was initially a participle merged into other parts of speech unchanged.

Tì'efumì oeyä, it's better to use just po rey instead of po lu rusey. Literally rey means "be alive", so po rey means "he is alive" - the same as po lu rusey.

Thanator walks across his land and meets hexapede by chance.
Thanator runs his tongue over lips and asks:
- Why don't you run away from me, hexapede? Haven't you fear?
Hexapade answers:
- No, thanator, I'm not afraid, great brother. Maybe I'd be afraid if you was at the same shore of the river as me.

Oh, I forgot a new sentence again.

Sometimes one smiles from feeling happy, sometimes vice versa.

Srane I think it should be possible to say it better in English (idiom?), but I don't know how (in fact, you can teach him, but he doesn't learn it  )

I think this is the proper English saying for this.

Checking...
Yes, it is: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/You+can't+teach+an+old+dog+new+tricks

I think nantang should be replaced with a more "domesticated" animal, like pa'li (or fwampop maybe? )

Tìsung: btw, po nasyume

IMHO kind of creature is not important but the fact that it is old

A line from Othello:

I understand the anger in your words but don't understand the words.

here's a little riddle:
