English into Amadunia.

This applies the grammar rather than looking words up. Amadunia was built with no conjugation, no gender, no agreement and no exceptions, which is the one condition under which a language can be generated from its own rules — so the hard half here is reading the English, not writing the Amadunia.

Worked12 rules

What it does, one rule at a time.

The English is chosen; the Amadunia is whatever the rules produce at build time. If a rule changes, these change with it.

I eat bread
Mi kula pan — Word order is English’s. Nothing is added.
The child did not sleep
Anak no suda lala — no goes in front of the predicate, before the tense particle
My friend’s house is big
Dom rafiki mi kabir — the owner follows the thing owned, and no copula before an adjective
your friend’s child’s name
nama anak rafiki yu — possession chains to any depth, innermost owner last
I want to eat bread
Mi mau kula pan — two verbs in a row need nothing between them
Where is the market?
Market nali? — the question word stands where the answer would
Who are you?
Yu es kim? — and es returns, because the answer is a noun
I read a book well
Mi kara hao libro — an adverb comes before the object
I read a good book
Mi kara libro hao — the same word after it is an adjective instead
She will speak tomorrow
Ta saufa sema besok — one particle before the verb carries the future
I see three children
Mi kan tri anak — after a number the noun stays single
I see the children
Mi kan anak-anak — and doubles when the number is not said

How often it is right.

Every sentence anyone has written down beside its English is a test case with a known answer — not every sentence in the writing, but every one that says what it means. The rules run against all 1321 of them on every build, and this is the score — not a claim written down once and left there.

  • 80%the 26 lessons476 of 592
  • 67%the phrasebook42 of 63
  • 59%the original texts378 of 639

It falls off with length, not with difficulty. Sentences of three words or fewer come out right 83% of the time, four to six words 69%, seven or more 38%. That gradient is the English side failing rather than the Amadunia side: the longer the English, the more ways there are to misread which word belongs to which. The rules that write the Amadunia do not get harder.

Limits

What it cannot decide.

Some of what it gets wrong is not a bug, and saying which is the difference between a tool and a demonstration.

English cannot say which "we" you mean
kita includes the person you are talking to andmi-mi does not. English has one word for both, so no rule can recover the difference. The lessons use both; this page has to pick one.
Doubling is a choice, not an ending
A bare noun is neutral rather than singular, so doubling is used only when more than one actually matters. Ain ta kabir — her eyes are big — does not double, and is not wrong for leaving it out.
Two words are not written at all, on purpose
very and sometimes come back in English rather than ascok and kadang. Whether cok carries very isan open question, and until the frequency-adverb question is decided kadang cannot be written at all, because any sentence using it would answer that question by accident. A tool that wrote them would be settling what the language has not.
Two degree words cannot stand together
much better comes back as muchlebi hao, notcok lebi hao.cok, lebi,kurang and palingall stand in the same slot in front of what they scale, andnothing grants putting two there at once. The language removed Cok lebi hao from Lesson 18 for that reason, so the rules say the scaling word is open rather than write it.
Where a time word stands is open too
Tomorrow I will go to my house comes backBesok mi saufa go dom mi, the sentencetext 17 already has.place.md puts time at the end and grants fronting to a subordinate clause alone, so eight sentences that open with a time word are used and not granted — the fortieth open question, raised on September 6, 2026. The rules follow the writing here rather than choosing: sasa andbesok are fronted where the English fronts them, because the writing fronts them eight times; din iniand rat ini always go last, because the writing puts them last nine times out of nine and never first.
A tense marker before an adjective is written and not granted
The house was big comes backDom suda kabir, which iswhat Lesson 11 teaches — and nothing grants it.tense.md puts the marker before the verb and an adjective predicate has no verb; copula.md puts nothing before an adjective. Five sentences in the writing use the shape and it became an open question on September 6, 2026, after a text claimed it could not be said at all. Written here because the language writes it, the way daima is — not because the question has an answer.
And where a frequency adverb stands is still open
daima is written, because the language writes it — but it is placed where the English put it, andwhich slot is correct has been measured and not decided. Treat its position as unsettled rather than as an answer.
A word the dictionary does not hold stays in English
It is left in place rather than replaced with something close. The dictionary is closed at300 roots, and a word it lacks getswritten down as wanted instead of invented.

This is a rule engine rather than a machine-learning system, and the difference is worth stating plainly. A statistical translator needs hundreds of thousands of sentence pairs; Amadunia has 1321. What it has instead is a complete grammar — 26 rules with no exceptions in them — which is precisely the thing a statistical system spends those hundreds of thousands of pairs trying to infer. That is why rules work here and would not work for English.
