Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't think Gaian is difficult at all, Hr. Forniting.

OK, class, here are the last three rules. After giving these, I'll open up the class for questions. If there are no questions, then this weekend I will post the final lesson, "How to Use the Dictionary" and then make sure that the dictionary and "cheat sheets" are made available for download on the Gaia website.

After that we will open up the official all-Gaian chat thread!

Here we go...

Regel 13: If the action is happening to your subject, just add –a to the verb as if it were a describing word. (Passive)

Johan este serstena ven Mari segte ‘Du skal esen hernena’. (Hernen = to remember)
John was crushed when Mary said, “You will be remembered.”


Regel 14: The word ax represents the words ‘in’, ‘at’, and ‘on’ in English. Whether the sentence takes place “in Europe” or “at school”, this all-purpose preposition will do the job.

Meanwhile ja can be used when you’re not sure which preposition is supposed to be used. In English we say ‘in 2005’, ‘on Monday’, and ‘at 3:05’. In Gaian you can use ja for all these instances.

All other prepositions (inside, outside, between, etc) can be found in the Easy Sheets.

Ja Marz, Maris popularastu Song, ‘Single Again’, este horena ax Gaia ja de Radio.
In March, Mary’s most popular song, ‘Single Again’, was heard in Gaia on the radio.


Regal 15: Sentences can be emphasized with the word vara (‘truthfully’).

Gaian ese vara gudastu!
Gaian really is the best!

Regel 16: The words va or vas (that/which, whose) are used to put sentences within sentences.

Nuna ig leebe de Fru vas nur Bedur ese de Man va leebte zi.
Now I love the woman whose only regret is the man who loved her.

That is all, min studentar leeblinga!

Please take the time to ask a question or try out a sentence.
