amadunia

LearnLesson 23

Everything so far

Prerequisite: Lesson 22.

No new words

This lesson adds nothing. It is the whole of Amadunia on one page, at the point where the dictionary reached three hundred roots and A1 was complete.

The one sentence

This sentence fills all nine slots of the order at once:

Mi no suda kara hao libro ini in dom rat ini porke mi sedih. I did not read this book well at home last night because I was sad.

Read it piece by piece:

PieceWhat it doesRule
Misubjectcomes first
nodenies what followsbefore the predicate
sudapastafter no, before the verb
karaverbnever changes shape
haoadverbadjective straight after the verb
libroobjectafter the adverb
inithislast in the noun phrase
in domplacepreposition before the noun
rat initimeplace first, then time
porke mi sedihreasonthe joined clause comes last

subject → no → suda/saufa → verb → adverb → object → place → time → clause

Nothing in that sentence changed its form. Not one word.

The whole grammar, in fifteen lines

Word ordersubject, verb, object
Adjectivesafter the noun — dom kabir
Possessionowner after the thing — dom mi; owner before adjective — dom mi kabir
This, thatlast in the phrase — dom mi kabir ini
Pluralsay the noun twice — anak-anak; single after a number — tri anak
Tensesuda past, saufa future, present unmarked — before the verb
Copulaes before a noun; nothing before an adjective or place
There ises at the front, no subject — Es hotel in madina
Negationno before the predicate — Mi no suda kula
Questionsrising tone; the question word stays where the answer goes
Verb chainsverbs simply follow — Mi mau kula pan
Comparisonlebi/kurang/paling before the adjective, dari for than
Pronounsmi, yu, ta — ta is he, she or it; the plural rule gives the rest
Commandsa verb with no subject — Anda!; and any piece may stand alone — Sasa.
Stressthe beat is on the second-to-last syllable, always — a-ma-DU-nia

Add aur and o for joining, in/dari/por for place, una for with, porke/kab/agar for because, when and if — and that is the entire language.

The last three lines were added on September 5, 2026. The command and the fragment were granted on September 3 and this page — the one that claims to be the whole of Amadunia — went two days without them; the stress rule was settled the same day and fared the same. Lesson 26 teaches the two of them that need teaching. A summary page is the easiest page in a repository to leave behind, because nothing in it ever looks wrong.

What has never happened

In three hundred roots and twenty-three lessons:

  • No word has ever changed shape. No conjugation, no case, no agreement, no plural ending, no gender.
  • No rule has an exception. Every one of the fifteen above holds everywhere, without a list of irregulars.
  • No letter is silent and no letter has two readings.

Read a whole story

You now know enough to read Anak espera sol without help — the reading ladder opens it at Lesson 13, eleven lessons before anything else. Try the Amadunia first and check the English only when you are stuck.

This page sent you to Safari por pahar until September 5, 2026. The ladder opens that one at Lesson 25, two lessons after this one — the page was recommending a story it had not taught you to read, and the ladder had been saying so all along.

What the language still cannot do

Being honest about this is part of the design:

MissingWhat it blocks
A mark for a nameSol genc is “Sol is young” and “the sun is young”
neveronly no daima and no saufa, which are weaker
all, some, nonequantity beyond cok and lebi
ordinal numbersfirst, second
verycok is “much”; whether it covers “very” is untested
reflexiveMi kan mi reads as “I see me”, not clearly “myself”
although, before, after, untilthe second tier of joiners

Each is recorded as an open question in grammar/. None was invented to make a lesson easier.

Where the language stands

Twenty-three lessons, and 257 roots of the three hundred — Lessons 24 and 25 have the rest. Every root in the dictionary carries a sourced etymology, drawn from Austronesian, Semitic, Latin and Romance, Indo-Aryan, Iranian, Turkic, Niger-Congo, Slavic, Sino-Tibetan, Japonic, Greek and Germanic. No two words differ by a single sound unless that contrast is safe in nearly every language on Earth. No l against r anywhere.

Twenty letters. One sound each.

Mi ama dunia. Yu ama dunia. Kita ama dunia.
