Welcome to fourth talk about the Ideal language Ikari!
I’d like to start this talk with announcement: I’ve created the Ikari Discord server and that’s why today’s talk is about socialising.
Better than French
Word stress in Ikari is positioned at the very first syllable of the word’s root.
Foreigner
When you’ll join the Discord server you’ll see that most of the words are start with the prefix “koc’-”. That prefix comes right before the word’s root and denotes that the word is not Ikarian.
For example: Koc’computer – computer (using English); Koc’дом – home (using Russian).
Usual British talk
For those who didn’t get that joke in the title: it means “Talking about weather”.
Ikari | English |
---|---|
veteri | Weather |
rani | Rain |
ranos | It is raining |
snegi | Snow |
snegos | It is snowing |
For example: Ro’veteri deros guta. (Eng. The weather is good.)
Today tomorrow is tomorrow, but tomorrow tomorrow will be today
“Today”, “tomorrow” etc. is an adverb, so we need to add new wordbuilding suffix. That suffix will be "-e".
Ikari | English |
---|---|
tone | Today |
tane | Tomorrow |
tene | Yesterday |
rite | Now, right now |
For example: Ro’veteri derok nonoguta tane. (Eng. The weather was bad yesterday.)
Morgen and tag or morning and day
The answer is morgen and tag (German).
Ikari | English |
---|---|
morgi | Morning |
tagi | Day |
vegi | Evening |
nati | Night |
Speaking (literally)

Combined knowledge

Tane oc vegi derok nonoguta. (Eng. Yesterday’s evening was bad.)
