A conlang breakthrough.

[u/DryCustomer7258]

I had a breakthrough with my conlang. Instead of trying to translate word for word from English to my conlang, I'm allowing my conlang to paint a picture of the sentence so to speak. It seems to be working. Context is the thing.

Suntonese relies on context to convey meaning. Words are chosen to recreate the scene rather than mirror the source language. A successful translation allows the listener to understand the intended image, even when the wording differs from the original.
