'Awpo

Kaltxì ma aysmuktan,

I wrote this sentence for an introduction thingy on a game which I play. It's purpose is to tell people what my name is and how old I am/will be... So does anybody want to help me out and correct this sentence if it's incorrect?

Oeru syaw fko 'Awpo Ayvulhu ulte oe mevolawa ayzìsìtit layu.
My name is Lars (Derived from Laurel -> The one with the branches) and I will be 17 years.

I couldn't think of a better way to tell someone how old I am so I came up with the <ay> infix for the future so I can say that I will be X years (old). Oh and by the way, I wasn't too sure about the mevolaw-a because I didn't quite get the -a- thingy... :D

Eywa ayngahu,
'Awpo Ayvulhu

Kaltxì ma 'Awpo Ayvulhu

somebody told me that you wouldn't need the plural on zìsìt when you've established the number - but you should wait for confirmation on that.
The attributive marker on mevolaw seems good to me - that's how I use it as well because the numbers behave like adjecitves.
Instead of lu I'd use slu ... but I don't know what others might think of that.

That's one of an interesting question...

"Become" (slu), or "will be" (l<ay>u/l<ìy>u)... i'd say that both of them can be good, but i'd rather go with layu/lìyu too...

Also worth noting is that the French say "I have 16 years" for "I am 16" ... maybe that's one for the VEP... - added it to the discussion on time

'Awpo

Yeah I already thought about how the French use 'to have' instead of 'to be' :)
But I couldn't find any examples of anyone trying to say how old they are...

Of course! Beginners section is at your disposal ;) However for introductions on this forum is special section Introductions, not worth writing in old topics :)
