| rdfs:comment | - This is a simplified language meant to be easy to learn and easy to speak. In all it has less than 5,000 words. All other words beside root words are expressed through Derivational Morphemes that reflect the intent, emotion, degree and intensity of the speaker. So there is no real direct translation from Verbum to other languages but the Listener or Reader is allowed to insert a word that means what the morphemes are expressing. For example, look at the word for HAPPY (fek). jū fek “I [am] happy.” jū ta gafek “I am very happy.” [joyful, cheerful, elated] jū ta sagafek “I am euphoric.”

| abstract | - This is a simplified language meant to be easy to learn and easy to speak. In all it has less than 5,000 words.

So there is no real direct translation from Verbum to other languages but the Listener or Reader is allowed to insert a word that means what the morphemes are expressing. For example, look at the word for HAPPY (fek). jū fek “I [am] happy.” jū ta gafek “I am very happy.” [joyful, cheerful, elated] jū ta sagafek “I am euphoric.” jū ta fekna “I am sad.” (the opposite of happy) jū ta feksana “I am very sad, upset or discouraged” jū ta feksanasa When necessary to express an extreme condition, you double the primary inflection. “I am despondent or suicidal” jū sēta feksana Gives the impression of a certain word because of locality. Basically means an extreme sadness inside yourself. “I [have in me] [extreme sadness] depressed/depression.” jū mōta fekna? “Are you upset?” mō get added to the verb By using Derivational Morphemes in this fashion hundreds of thousands of words can be expressed with only having to know a couple thousand. In addition, all root words are single syllable so they are easy to say or remember.
