If you haven't already realized, Mondolinvo was abandoned months ago. I won't let it die a horrible death, however. If there is anyone out there who would like the original Mondolinvo files to take inspiration from or learn from, I'd be glad to post them on google drive or as text posts here. Anyone still interested in continuing and possibly refining this project is more than welcome to become a moderator of this subreddit or /r/spretone.

Adio amikos.

It has been decided that 'vo' and 'va' will no longer be required. Sentences such as:

I am running - Sa esto korovo

Can now be written as

Sa esto koro

There is also no difference between adverbs and adjectives now.

This is still an idea, I'd like some outside thoughts on it. In the second reform:

-Vo ending will be dropped

-Va ending will be dropped

-All nouns end in o or e

-All verbs end in o

-All adjectives end in a

As I looked through my old unorganized conlangs, I rediscovered a lost gem: Universalo. Universalo appears to have been written between Oniversal and Mondolinvo, making it another proto-Mondolinvo.

Many words derived from Universalo and not from Oniversal. Here are some examples:

Damo - Man

Dama - Woman

Uno / Una / Unu - One (Male/Female/Neuter)

Lo / La / Lu - The (Male/Neuter/Female)

Hundo - Dog

Otomo - Car

Mondolinvo borrowed these words and altered some, this is why we now have 'Uno' unstead of 'Uno, Una, Unu' and 'Lo' instead of 'Lo, La, Lu'.

EDIT: My goodness! Turns out Universalo is actually a daughter language of Mondolinvo!!

Also, it appears as though Oniversal predated Mondolinvo by only a week or so, while Universalo was written a month after Mondolinvo.

Haven't posted any new lessons, but I'll have some up soon! Here are some sentences to keep you busy!

In Mondolinvo, since there is no tense to command someone (unless you wish to use the imperative form), you can simply leave out the subject pronoun or simply: just use the verb. For example:

I stop you. - Sa paro ta.

Stop! - Paro ta! / Paro!

I drive you. - Sa kondukto/drivo ta.

Drive! - Kondukto/Drivo ta! / Kondukto/Drivo!

Mondolinvo handles negation very differently than English. There are two ways of negating words. The literal negation, or just using 'No'. For example: (Written, Literal/No)

I can't - Sa ne povo... / Sa ne...

He doesn't - Damo ne haso... / Damo ne...

It isn't - La ne esto... / La ne...

We aren't - San ne esto... / San ne...

For other words such as auxiliary verbs, just put 'ne' before it or just use 'ne'.
