**Edit 1: Correction of vocab words

Io apprende interlingua in parte per le libro de Ingvar Stentström. Le explicationes de lection 13 mentiona un CD. Esque il ha registrationes del textos disponibile alicubi in Internet? Io comprava le libro de lulu.com, ma un CD non se includeva.

Today, every natural language is facing this problem: moderno society asks for non-binari pronouns. What about interlingua? Somewhere, i've read about "illi", but idk of it is realistic. So:

Esque il ha un non-binari pronomine, in interlingua? Esque vos opina que Interlingua besonia illo, ut deveni popular?

(Sorry for my poor english, i'm italian ☺️)

I'm italian and i understand very well interlingua, also without studying It. Is that the same for english speakers? Let me know

I know that frigido is a noun and frigide is an adjective, but I don't know if I should use the former or latter in "it's cold today". Would the following be correct:

Le die es frigido.

Hodie es frigido.

Io vole biber aqua frigide.

​

Gratias vos pro adjuta vostre!

These would be stressed on the first syllable if faithful to their Latin source (hábita, dírige), but I can't find anything about it in the grammars, so they would be stressed on the second syllable if strictly following the rules (habíta, diríge). Any thoughts?

Or should I say "porcettos" and if so is "parve" redundant?

Is "-ellino" even a recognized diminutive?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm getting so far into the Latin course on Duolingo. Is there any app that has interlingua as a course? Is there a site perhaps.

thats the question hahaha

Is it worth to learn Interlingua, if it so similar to the real Romance languages?!

May be it is better just to improve on those real languages we already know - for example I have learned all by myself the Spanish, I can understand almost all, except a bit, and I never needed to actually speak it...

Also - Italian is very similar to Spanish, I know I could improve on it in a very short time...

And how are "real" Spanish, Italian, Portugoes people seeing this language?! - Probably just as a joke or incorrect version / dialect of their own languages?!

Also - these auxiliary languages may appear nice on first glance, but when one starts to actually study those - like LFN or Interlingua - one can see they are lacking several forms, they may appear as incomplete Spanish or Italian...

I am not sure it is actuallly so good that so many can kinda understand it....

My number one concern, of course is Political Neutrality, and even with this there may be problems... since they are so much attached to Romance languages...

P.S. And you know - there is a war going on in Ukraine now - just because Russians believe Ukrainian is so much similar to Russian language - that it should be a dialect of Russian, not a separate language & country.

This word does not appear in https://www.interlingua.com/ied, the online Interlingua dictionary that I use (which has'domo' instead), but wiktionary has a entry for the Interlingua word 'casa'. Anyone know its status or why it might not be on the interlingua website?

What are differences between this Interlingua IA and Latino Sine Flexione and maybe Latin proper?!

I am just a beginner with auxiliary languages...

I was considering for a while between LFN & Interlingua, but now I have started to learn LFN... somehow it seemed to me clearer, especially in part of orthography & grammar... My native language is Latvian, and we are used to spell as it sounds, i.e. "grasias" instead of "gracias" and "ke" instead of "que" :) may be for people with native Romance language the other way is more habitual....

also I can understand most part of Spanish and very little Italian, and my German from school... that makes most of vocabulary more familiar...

also - do your Interlingua use Articles for nouns?!

I heavily dislike Articles, that's why I dream about learning Latin proper some day - to avoid Articles, my native Latvian doesn't use articles; also my native Latvian is using 7 casing system (Nominative, Genitive, .... Vocative), similar to Latin...

I don't know what to do with Interlingua. Lemme 'splain...

My daughter lives in Spain, and, of course, it would be great to be semi- or tourist-fluent in Spanish. Well, I just can't do it. My 68-year-old mind is like Teflon as nothing sticks. I can pick up programming languages, but Spanish (or Italian) is just not clicking for me.

So when I was introduced to Interlingua, with claims that it could be used to speak with native-Spanish speakers, I was very interested. Reality is setting in now that its claims of being understood by Romance language speakers is misleading and over-blown. It was what one linguist said on some forum that I don't remember... "Native-speakers will think you are speaking in some strange dialect and will tend to either ignore you or explain that they don't understand what you're saying".

Somehow, I believe this is true.

However, is there some value in learning IA anyway as maybe a gateway to learning better Spanish? I think I can finally grasp IA and be more functional in my speech even if it is 'no comprendo'. Maybe, just maybe, learning IA will help me with the real deal.

Thoughts?

I've seen that both "quanto" and "quante" can stand in the place of "how much," but "quante" also means "how many". For example:

Quante tempore tu ha studiate Interlingua? - How much time [how long] have you studied Interlingua?

Why would "quanto" not work here? Or would it?

Quante cattos es in le citate? - How many cats are in the city?

Quanto costa le lacte? - How much does milk cost?

​

Is this to do with countable/uncountable nouns? Quante refers to countable nouns and quanto refers to uncountable?

Hello! I discovered this Auxillary language yesterday and I'm definitely more inclined to learn it. I come from an English monolingual background with decent knowledge in Esperanto...so I expect there to be some challenges for me.

But my main challenge right now is finding doable resources. How do you go about learning this language? I've checked out the UMI website but I really can't seem understand what to do with the material there??

Also where can I find and learn grammar. And are there places to speak with people?? And the vocabulary??

Also is the grammar hard? Sorry for so many questions...lol. I hope you are having a nice day or night. :)
