Tue, 2013-07-09 13:45:08 - #20 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan The language is Hindko. It's similar to Punjabi.
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:45:16 - #21 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo ninge might be a question word
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:45:19 - #22 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan Nope.
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:45:35 - #23 - ?7

Tue, 2013-07-09 13:46:03 - #23 - ?7
Chiara Maggi
Chiara Maggi چول = rice?
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:47:19 - #24 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I see, negation
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:47:37 - #25 - ?7
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven And that ruined my guess that ninge was a noun in the locative case :P hmm. So, my something something is not. I'm guessing one's an adjective and the other a noun?

But kera?
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:47:44 - #26 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan *ding* *ding* *ding*. Correct!
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:47:48 - #27 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo My [kol] not [chol]
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:48:33 - #28 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan mere is not exactly 'my'. It can be when it's on its own. But it is actually working together with 'kol'. mere kol...
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:48:59 - #29 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I almost said "my call".. Hmpf
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:50:05 - #30 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Perhaps mere kol means mine
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:50:18 - #30 - ?7
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven It's the genitive, I'm rapidly learning from the Punjabi grammar page on wiki. So I assume kol is a postposition of some sort ruling the genitive case. This is just as fun as a conlang relay!
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:50:25 - #31 - ?7
Chiara Maggi
Chiara Maggi I dont have rice?
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:50:31 - #32 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan :D Chiara got it! :D
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:50:58 - #33 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Wow!! Way to go, Chiara Maggi!
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:51:22 - #34 - ?7
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven Niiice! Grats, Chiara!
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:51:31 - #35 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan Impressive, Billy. mere kol means 'near me', literally. That's how the verb 'to have' is translated into this language. Similar too the у меня in Russian.
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:52:05 - #36 - ?7
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Fahd Mir Jan: so literally it meant "no rice near me"?
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:52:56 - #37 - ?7
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven me-re kol chol ninge
1SG-GEN near rice NEG.?COP

I guess?
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:53:50 - #38 - ?7
Hesham Swehli
Hesham Swehli interesting, in arabic, to express "i have" u literally say "chez moi" ("chez" being the french word)
عندي
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:54:32 - #39 - ?7
Chiara Maggi
Chiara Maggi Yeahh xD because i thought 'if ninge is 'there isnt' and mere is not only 'mine', so maybe it is 'to me there isnt' that is 'i dont have'. Plus, chol if it is similar to urdu then there we have چاول or sth like that xDD thanks to the hints
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:54:34 - #40 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan Literally, it meant "me-with rice aren't"
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:55:15 - #41 - ?7
Fahd Mir Jan
Fahd Mir Jan Yeah, was too difficult without the hints. :D
Tue, 2013-07-09 13:55:49 - #41 - ?7
Hesham Swehli
Hesham Swehli Chiara Maggi (y)
