Quote from: mximo on April 15, 2025, 08:42:49 AMWe have 5 valid votes for a party. In accordance with our constitution, we must vote for a party and not for an individual, therefore one ballot has been rejected.

There will be 7 seats in this Nimlet: 2 for the Progressive Alliance, 2 for the Green Party, and 1 for !Avant. 1 seat will go to Senator Mximo Carbonèl, and 1 will remain vacant for the Governor.

A lot of those graphemes come from Talossan's former use of initial consonant mutations à la Celtic languages, and they're still present as relics in some words (e.g. praimhoct). So, for example, <gnh> vs. <nh> is that <nh> can only occur on word or morpheme boundaries, since it was a lenited form of <n>, while <gnh> is a bit more free because it's its own sound.

That's fine, but not really material to what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that this:

QuoteThe Chancery reserves its right to conduct a further investigation of the status of several "trapped" Dandelions [...]

is not something we need to be doing.

Ehhh, if renaturalization were a burdensome process, I would probably support having them remain on the rolls until they make their own contact. However, because it isn't a burdensome process, I don't think there's much justification for choosing to, well, stalk them in a sense and try to make contact with them without necessarily having their parents involved.

Let them strike out, and if they decide to contact us, just do the normal renaturalization.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on December 22, 2024, 10:17:00 AMIn French, "Jean allait au magasin" (imparfait/preterit) et "Jean est allé au magasin" (passé composé/present perfect) have clear different meanings, I assume Talossan works similarly ?

Technically no, the two constructions are stated to be synonymous in Talossan, but I don't think that justifies defaulting to one or the other in all cases.

It really isn't arcane. Aspects, being nigh-omnipresent in any language that uses them, are pretty much the first thing you learn about the past tense in any natural Romance language class (except probably Spanish), even if they don't call it by name.

And, personally, I think a better sentence to start with would have been "John is going to the store," because it would've given a chance to demonstrate how Talossan doesn't distinguish the simple present and present continuous like English.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 21, 2024, 10:08:54 PMWhy?  Wouldn't that be "Ian has gone to the store," the present perfect? "Ian went to the store" is a simple past statement.

Because the two forms of the past tense, "tir + [past participle]" and "[stem] + -eva", are derived from the perfect and imperfect aspects in natural Romance languages, and "John went to the store" would be translated with the perfect aspect in (most of) those languages. Most of them don't distinguish between the simple past and the present perfect.
