How to Speak Emnonian, Part 2

One of the many things I do is make languages. Here's the first part of a tutorial for you.

For a technical overview of Emnonian, check this out. This is for people who don't know about linguistics.

Chapter 2: Conversational Emnonian
English has a standard "hello" and "goodbye." In Emnon, people are very practical and go strait to business. So, often even when you do know someone's name, it is custom to say SIGNA IA KANSIN (Signa ja kansin?) – literally what is your name. If you feel uncomfortable, say SLVÐI (sludhi; salutations) for "hello" and SLVÐINO (sludhino; no salutations) for "goodbye".

When asked your name, you can say SIGNA AIAT ____ $ (signa ajat ___ si)

IVS NOGERNVSIN (jus nogernu sin), IAN NOGERNANASIN (jan nogernana sin), IA NOGERNA SIN (ja nogerna sin) and II NOGERNISIN (ji nogerni sin), are "how are you" spoken to a male, female, unknown or plural.

AIVS NOGERNVS $, AIAN NOGERNAN $, AIA NOGERNA $, and AII NOGERNI $ is "I'm fine," spoken by (not to) a male, female, unknown or plural, though to just say NOGERNA is okay in informal settings. ED EI(VS, AN, A, I) (ed ejus, an, a, i) is "and you?"

Emnonians never say "it's nice to meet you," usually because they don't know whether it's nice yet, nor "where are you from" because Emnonian names reflect that.
