Eulingu is based on its endings, 'li sufiksi'. If you know them by heart it will be easy for you to quickly form words and sentences.
Here they are:
Here they are:
Most nouns/substantives end - for reasons of simplicity - in the genderless and singular suffix '-u', rather than applying 'confusing' genders to the same 'root' which can be found in various European languages, e.g. 'the table' (n), 'die Tafel' (f), 'der Tisch' (m), 'la table' (f) and 'il tavolo' (m). Words ending in '-u' are generally regarded as the 'result of something' (this is complex and will be explained at a later stage).
un tablu - a table
lu lingu - the language
un blogu - a blog
multu respektu - much respect
un biru - a beer

a tagu - on the day/today

em guste tu lingu - I like your language
esta guste su kapelu - she likes her hair

esta guste su kapelu - she likes her hair
Quantity higher than one (= plural) is expressed with a final '-i', we can also find it in the letter 'i' (and), here are 'uni eksempli':
tri tabli - three tables
li lingi - the languages
multi blogi - many blogs
uni biri - a few beers
uni artisti - a few artists
di amiki/d'amiki - of the friends
di populi - of the people(s)

Action ('aktivu') is created through the multicultural ending '-e', even the 'action of not moving'. The 'pasivu' (= passive) form is built through the final '-n' (es skriben - (it) is written, esti kanten - (they) are sung). Someone doing something gets the suffix '-r', often specified by 'gender' (uno skribero - a 'male' writer, lo parlera - the 'female' speaker).
em plaze un libru sur lu tablu - I place a book on the table
esta skribe un letru - she writes a letter
Karlo vero beve un biru - Carl (he) drank a beer
Petro i Monika esti manje ni bageti - Peter and Monica (they) eat their baguettes

lu libru es skriben do uno/d'uno skribero norgos - the book is written by a Norwegian 'male' writer
ci kanti esti kanten di multi kanteri - these songs (they) are sung by many singers
esta una parlera grandas - she is a great speaker
esta una parlera grandas - she is a great speaker
If you want to add 'quality' (adjective/adverb) to a term, you simply add the letter '-s'. Qualities normally follow after the substantive or verb but get 'pole position' (and the '-s' dropped) when it comes to 'greetings' (similar to the French language, 'une robe élégante' but also 'bon appétit').
una amika belas - a beautiful 'female' friend
co kantero grandos - this great 'male' singer
lu lingu simplus - the simple language
lu lingu simplus - the simple language

Have a look at the short 'definu' of Eulingu and see if you can work it out yourself:
