If All the World Were Paper
by anonymous


If all the world were paper,
And all the sea were ink,
If all the trees were bread and cheese,
What would we have to drink?

Phfi Sateke Ale me Nio Sore
ba'inijikeshone

Phfi sateku ale me nio sore,
Eta sateku ale me mitsulu iniki,
Phfi sateku ale me turu buro eta saulo,
Oro tsuiki korola toteshi?

If-made-of-it-they wet it-being-writing-material they-being-seas
If-made-of-them-they them-being-bread/cheese they-being-trees
Would-drink-it-we what?

That looks weird. xP

That didn't take too long, though I did make some stops to write up grammar and, of course, make vocab.

Ci tuto lo munde è la papiria,
I tuta la merá è lo inko,
Ci tutos los arbros son la pànà i lo ghezo,
Ghe nosi berèmos yesto?

If all the world is the paper,
And all the ocean is the ink,
If all the tress are the bread and the cheese,
What we drink [future marker].

Well, I was going to start a nursery Rhyme Topic, But I see you already have this one. (I guess I'll have to translate another.

tChya Nya ValenDi Va inZhuKae;
tChya Moi ZheGaPar Va GuKae;

[Conditional] be-per-3s (all things-current)-nom-s all (writing surface)-acc-s;
[Cond.] be-per-3pl sea-nom-pl all ink-acc-s;
[Cond.] be-per-3pl tree-nom-pl all
bread-acc-s cheese-acc-s and;
[Result][Quantitative Question] Fut-drink-2pl?

The question mark is actually redundant. But It looks better when I put it in.

Wen al wionso ahii ar aradiinsora
Wen al atoh ahii ar aradiinsiod
Wen al nionhra ahii ar daypwohii loa payosii
N'hiipso hab ahkala wass


Literal translation:
If all world make of write-on
if all sea make of write-with
if all world-sticks make of ground-food-cooked and gathered-food-cooked
The people have drink what?

(N'hiipsodod draws grammatically on ASL, and I totally stole some words from German because I'm lazy. Just in case you wanted to know. ninja )
