[@garrondumont7891]

Another vid I'll have to watch 20 times before I understand it...

[@peabody1976]

Keep in mind: natural languages sometimes break or bend their own rules for modals. Modern English modals became fossilised and their past forms became independent modals. Oa's modals based on stative verbs could indeed take the habitual endings because it gains its status as "stative" or "dynamic" based on the main verb it modifies. Also, even if this isn't the case, languages such as Basque have conjugated elements that change base on transitivity and polypersonal marking. So there could be two future modals, one for stative verbs and one for dynamic verbs. One more real-world example: Bulgarian has a Slavic aspectual system, and this can change the meaning or a nuance of meaning in a verb. An imperfective verb has past (two of them), present, and cliticised future; a perfective verb has only past (two of them) and (uncliticised) future. If a perfective verb needs to indicate the present tense, it then forms a secondary imperfective set that pairs **only** with the perfective and not with the primary imperfective. Oa could very well include such distinctions to allow for full paradigms for the main verb without leaving gaps in dynamic verbs when they're negated, modalised, or set in future time.

[@327bryck]

[@pastverb1]

[@Chris-rn9zx]

Oh shit! Artifexian and biblardian in one video? Really, you spoil us

[@BurningHydrant]

German actually does have one colloquial aspect marker that delineates present perfective and present imperfective: "Ich lese." = "I read." "Ich bin am lesen." = "I am reading." You can still use the former to talk about something perfective, but if you really want to drive home that something is happening _right now_ you could use the latter (in informal settings anyway).

[@hiiamacat8605]

Finally, more oa!!!

[@markcangila1613]

The present default is actually the opposite in persian. Let's take the work "khordan", meaning "to eat". The perfective past is "khordam", and the perfective present is "meekhoram" The addition ends up being on present, with the D dropped and mee- added. Also, "meekhoram" can mean I will eat.

[@iampokhrel]

Please make part two of this where you include the moods in the mix too.

[@tearlach47]

The beard is looking great, Edgar

[@tunistick8044]

Interesting how in Tunisian Arabic, we use the past continuous auxilaury "ken(3rd sig)" and the simple future auxilary "bech" to mark the irresultive conditional. So the sentence "I was going to run, but ..." is "Kunt bech njry, ...". Word word by word: - *Kunt* : the 1st sig past continuous auxilaury (from the infintive "ken"). - *Bech* : the simple future auxilaury (its infinitive form won't change with any other different prounoun, it's always in the infinitive form) - *Njry* : The simple present verb of the infintive "Yjry" + the 1st sig pronoun → *Kunt bech njry* literally means: Was (being). 1st sig + will + run. present. 1st sig Sidenote: Infinitve form of verb = 3rd singular from of the verb

[@livedandletdie]

I like the 1080p tense myself.

[@polarislance8818]

I'm rather ashamed that it took me as long as Artifexian did to complete my verbal morphology...

[@lilalampenschirm3203]

You reworked the Oa script and know it looks even better. Nice!

[@Alice-gr1kb]

It’s back. It’s back. It’s back

[@cerberaodollam]

Hmmm. Now that NativLang's back, I guess you could collab with him too? This was pretty fun to watch. (NGL, I prefer your linguist stuff to your planets-and-whatnot content, simply because I find it easier to follow. The moment math appears, my brain goes 'nope'.) Also, question. English dialects sometimes come up with features that the standard lacks, like the distinction between 2nd person singular and plural (which to me always seemed to be a confusing thing) - "y'all" is a pretty functional and logical "plural you" substitute, although not quite standard. Similarly, AAVE "reinvented" a habitual aspect ("he be running"). I was wondering - do these variations ever become standardized, and if yes, what makes such standardization possible? Just a popularity trend? (Non-Southern queer communities are kinda co-opting "y'all" these days because it's more inclusive than the traditional "ladies and gentlemen" type constructs, for example.) Also, does this happen in OA and if yes, how?

[@hpsmash77]

it gets standardised, if it gets popular enough, if the non standard speaking community suddenly decides to invade and overthrow the government, or you know, if the non standard variant evolves enough to be recognised as a dialect but actually a different language there are many different ways this standardisation may happen

[@rogermiller7044]

In my language we do not say. "He should be there." We say. "If he is not there i will be mad." "Sirru kei mioirrei si sjon, Krri orrei si chimatje." When he negative-future-tense-verb-form in here/there, I future-tense-verb-form to mad-noun form.

[@WatermelonEnthusiast9]

In my conlang, the present imperfective and future perfective are the same, because saying your doing something and saying you'll be done doing something in the future are basically the same

I'm watching this while sick lol

[@mushroomsoup2866]

Would it make sense to have a language with only non-past and non-future tenses? It could open up a neat distinction with things happening in the present tense. A basic example would be something like "I'm finishing it now". In English, that is non-past tense, but in this language it would be non-future, because it has some relevance to the past. Like, it hints that something in the past caused you to be doing what you are now. Something like "I am going home" would be non-past, because it hints that it is going to have something to do with the future as well (when you're travelling home). I don't really know how that would work with all verbs, because I'm positive that there will be some roadblock I'd only find after trying to translate a block of text, but it would be something interesting to play about with...

Wasn't Oa originally going to be similar to Hangul? Or did Edgar decide to take a different direction? I wish to talk with him or someone about it just so I wouldn't be confused.

[@WadelDee]

In the German language, there are two words for "would", "could", namely "würde" and "wurde"; and "könnte" and "konnte". The ones with the ¨ above them are used for conditionals. "I could do it, if …", "I would do it, if …". The ones without the ¨ are used for the past. "When we were younger, we would often be driven to the cinema." If "would" really is the past tense of the word "will" that would mean that "wurde" is the past tense of "wird" but "würde" is the subjunctive, instead, which, in English, both seem to be the same thing, right?

[@lilalampenschirm3203]
