Happy New Year 2008
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008I know that not everyone uses the Gregorian calendar, and I also know that the choice of when a year ends is a completely arbitrary choice. In either case, I would still like to wish you a Happy New Year. As would be said in Fincaiyan, my conlang:
ensel teirei dan ni lontevoi taru
Which roughly translates to:
May you be guided in the coming year
For those wishing to know how to pronounce it, vowels are roughly as in Spanish, consonants as in English, except for “t”, which is usually rendered like the English “th” in “teeth”, and “d”, which is usually rendered like the English “th” in “that”. Accents are all on the last syllable of the word, except for “taru”, in which it is on the first. At some point, I will try to put up a guide to Fincaiyan pronunciation.
Regardless, have a Happy New Year.
