I decided it would be a good idea to add this pronoun, so here goes.

Cxe is unique (for now) as it is the only pronoun with no plural form.

Cxe literally means 'he or she' or 'man or woman'. Cxe is very similar to singular they in English.

Like with other pronouns, there is also the accused cxef (him or her) and the possessive adjective cxa (his or her(s)).

Places where cxe, cxa, or cxef could be used are on social media, advertisements, or online games with usernames:

User101 otirar cxa provile. - User101 changed his or her profile.

Ken procxas eca ela cxe ses cxevavime. - We are searching for a man or woman to become worker.*

And that's pretty much it for now. Usually when gender is unspecified and there is only one person, out of politeness, use cxe. De can be seen as degrading and objectifying. Another difference is that Cxe is used when talking about living things and De is for non-living things. Ex:

Cxe apasilas. - He or she makes annoying noises. (Someone is making annoying sounds)

De apasilas. - It makes annoying noises. (Something, possibly a machine, is making annoying sounds)

In Sepeke, you can turn an adjective into a verb whenever you want, just drop the -a and conjugate. You can really do this whenever but it is best to do it when it is not a color. Here are some examples:

To be tall - Cxala - drop the -a, add -im - Cxalim

To be fast / To run - Eta - drop tye -a, add -im - Etim

You should usually do this if you want to describe something. For example, let's say I want to talk about how an animal looks.

Ponime tabum zxa egum - The dog is big and cute.

And that's pretty much it. Of course you can use the -im ending to change it into an unconjugated verb but almost always for describing a noun, you use the -um (complex) tense. Hence why I used it above.

Figured I'd get this one out of the way because it is a simple concept. In Sepeke, there exists 2 forms of the pronoun 'we'. These are ken and ren. Ren is the inclusive form while Ken is the exclusive form. The difference is basically this:

Inclusive We would be used if I were to say "We won the lottery" meaning that you and I had won.

Exclusive We would be used if I were to say "We won the lottery" meaning that someone else and I but not you had won.

That's basically it, here are some examples:

We went swimming, you did not. - Ken folar. Be a'obrar. (We swam. You not-swam.)

We all are hungry. - Ren epidemas. (We have hunger.)

We have to study but you already did. - Ken ekavir eho be ekavar. (We must study but you studied.)

You and I will work. - Ren cxevaves. (We will work.)

Here is my translation of the first paragraph on Wikipedia's page for conlangs. I'll put the original paragraph, Sepeke, and finally, the literal translation.

A planned or constructed language is a language whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary have been consciously devised for human or human-like communication, instead of having developed naturally. It is also referred to as an artificial or invented language. There are many possible reasons to create a constructed language, such as: to ease human communication, to give fiction or an associated constructed world an added layer of realism, for experimentation in the fields of linguistics, cognitive science, and machine learning, for artistic creation, and for language games.

Ela sepeke ejova ta kazxa sum ela sepeke na cecxasepimae zxa sepekoe zxa tabren adetar eca peme ta sepimae pema afa kazxar tera. De hxum ela sepekef amena ta kazxa. Sxa cxacen kazxim ela sepeke kazxa.

One language planned or created is one language one’s phonology and grammar and words were made-up for human or speech human-like unlike were created naturally. It called one language fake or created. Many reasons to create one language created. Like: make easier speech human-like; or; give realism to fiction or its world created; or; experiment part of linguistics or science thought-based and learning machine-based; or; creating artistically; or; for game language-based.

The title says "Sim (to be) is very very-stupid word." Here's why:

I realized that you'll rarely ever conjugate sim for the present tense. Nobody is a man for a day (I hope) and nothing is blue for that exact instance. Sim is almost always used in the complex tense thus making it one of the dumbest verbs in Sepeke.

Na Alepe

Sar ela alepe

De azxar tenimef

De ahetar naro

De azxar kavef

Eho ela dicxe ne empocxar def

Zxa de sar tenima

Lo de sum na alepe

Lo avana.

One's Mouse

(There) Was a mouse

It had no owner

It walked everywhere

No home of its own (It had no home)

But a single day, one found it

And it became owned (And it was owned)

Now it is one's mouse

No longer alone (Now not alone)

Sorry, title sounds very cavemanish. I meant to make it 'A Sepeke Poem, Na Alepe'. My fault. :/

Here are some basic interjections in Sepeke.

Haha - Hux-hux

Ahem - Ehxux

Shh - Cx (ended as long as needed :D)

Psst - Btux (From 'Betu', Hello/Hey)

Ugh - Ehx

Whew - Vxux

Huh - Hux

Oops - Pux / Abux

Tsk-tsk - Tcx / Tcxux

Since you guys probably can't understand the title yet, allow me to translate.

Now Sepeke has one thousand words!

Huzzah! We have reached a milestone. This is my first conlang to break 500 for goodness sake. Thanks to you seven other readers who have encouraged me to continue Sepeke! I'll try to keep you up to date with new lessons as frequently as I can and I'd love to help any of you one on one. So long for now!

The Imperative Form in Sepeke is quite simple. There are three basic scenarios when one would use the imperative form.

(X is a noun/pronoun, Y is a verb.)

1. X must Y.

2. Y!

3. Buttons, Signs, etc.

The Imperative Form ending is -ir. Here are some examples:

I must leave. - Ke avigir.

Sit! - Sedir!

Exit (as in an exit button in a game) - Atrepir

Stop eating. - A'obrir demim. (When an -ing verb happens in English, it isn't conjugated in Sepeke)

It's as simple as that.

This is just an update, not a lesson. I'm going to start moving Sepeke's 900 something words into an Excel document for easier sorting. Currently it is on an app on my phone that doesn't let me copy so it'll all be done by hand. I will follow up when the deed has been done! Stay tuned!

Sepekimingers are the English-speakers' stereotype of Sepekimen. Here's alist of what they do:

Accidentally slap on Sepeke conjugations. Ex:

I amas happija.

Spell words incredibly phonetic... At least Sepeke Phonetic...

Ju aras feelinx gud, jez?

And sentences are written extremely literally. Also, mess up your choice of verbs from time and time again. Ex:

Helo, i-a najme aras Duvxae enda I lijkas tu speekas lijk ana idijoeta.

Woot! My school test was today and now it's over. Now I can focus on Sepeke a bit more (even though I focused on it a bunch while trying to lollygag during studying :P)

This time, for the vocabulary list I'll try to give it a theme. In honor of my test today, here are 10 school related words!

1. School - Bekavimeke / Bemeke (slangish)

2. To study - Ekavim

3. To learn - Kavim

4. Student - Kavime / Ekavime

5. To teach / to instruct - Bekavim

6. Teacher - Bekavime

7. Subject (of study) - Ekavae

8. Test - Kerave

9. Quiz - Atabakerave / Akerave

10. To test - Keravim

Here's an example phrase:

Ke a'ekavar... - I didn't study. :P

I just realized this and I'm here to fix it!

Sepeke recognizes words starting with 'a' as being 'negative' or the opposite of something. An example would have been "Amerikae". What does "Merikae" mean? Nothing! Therefore "Amerikae" can't exist. To get around this, when transliterating words into Sepeke, words starting with 'a' will usually have the 'a' turned into an 'e'. With this new rule, "Amerikae" is now "Emerikae".

Examples:

Alexander - Eleksanderae

Amy - Emae

Arnold - Ernoldae

Antarctica - Entertikae

Africa - Efrikae

Asevkazxe (Asevimkazxim) - Minecraft

Eventually, if Sepeke becomes popular enough, there will be a Sepeke server on Minecraft. This is because Minecraft is a great place for speakers to hang-out, teach eachother, speak in Sepeke, and work together. I'm in the midst of translating Minecraft into Sepeke. So far I've translated 45 blocks. This weekend I will try to complete it or at least work on it a bunch. Stay tuned!

Also, if anyone would like a copy of it, I'll post it online as soon as I finish!

Edit 1: Sneak peak!

I felt it was a good time to explain the Complex tense to you all. It's a pretty nifty feature of Sepeke if I do say so myself. Let's say in English I wanted to say "I am an American" (which I am). 'am' is the singular, first person, present tense form of the verb 'to be'. Literally it says that at this current moment, I am an American. This isn't true, I've been an American my whole life, not this moment only. This is where you'd use the complex tense.

The complex tense ending is -ir. If I wanted to say I am from somewhere I'd say:

Ke evicxir ... - I (have always) originate(d) from ...

This also works for questions. If I wanted to ask where you're from, I'd do the tense+conditional trick.

Be evicxiris? - You (have always) originate(d) from?

Simple as that. Going back to our first phrase "I am an American.", you'd say it like this:

Ke sir emerikame. - I (have always been) American.

Of course you can change your religion or citizenship, you'd denote this by saying something like:

Ke sir kanadame. Ke sar emerikame. - I am Canadian, I was American.

We'd still use the complex tense for the first half because you have been a Canadian for a while, not just in this moment.

This also works for jobs or other occupations. For example:

Ke sir sepekime. - I am a speaker of Sepeke.

I've been a speaker before this instant.

When it boils down to it, use the complex tense if whoever is doing the verb is still doing it from an earlier period (without stopping). Sure, I wasn't a Sepekime five years ago but I was a Sepekime before this instance.

Let's say in English I wanted to talk about Earth. Normally I'd say "The world is..." Or something similar. Now, since Sepeke assumes 'the' is being used before a noun, words like 'enae' can mean "The world" but it doesn't mean "The world" (as in Earth). If this is confusing, pay attention to this next part.

The issue with 'the' is it is very broad. When talking about Earth in English you assume many things. When I say "The Earth", I assume that you are talking about the one and only "Earth" not like "Cat" vs. "The cat". In Sepeke, instead of saying "The World" (mistranslated as 'Enae') we'd say "Ia enae, literally "The one and only: world" (The world we all know and love.)

Now, we have resolved the issue. If I needed to talk about many worlds similar to Earth I could say "Enaen samas ia enae." (Worlds like the Earth.)

Similar to Ia is its weaker cousins Ja and Aja. Unlike Ia who refers to the most important form of a noun, Ja and Aja refer to least important things. Sort of. Ja literally means "This" and Aja literally means "That". The reason why they are used for unimportant things is because of this:

This car - Ja atovaveme

Yay, it's a car. It isn't an important car, though. Sure you know about this car but does the president? Is it really that important? No. It isn't. Sorry. However:

The one and only car - Ia atovaveme

Oh my lord! Now this is a car! Everyone knows about this car; it is that important. This is single handedly the most important car in human history and deserves to be respected.

See? That's the difference. That's why I'd say Ia enae because it is literally the most important world, ever. Mars, however, is Aja enae, that world. Sure, it exists but it isn't as important as Ia enae.

So if you ever want to anger a Sepekime, start calling yourself Ia ne, the most important one ever. That'll anger them for sure.

This is what Sepeke Script looks like. It is an abugida alphabet similar to Hebrew.

Vowels are attached below a letter to show a CV sound. For example, K with an E below it means Ke. Both X and an ' mean a glottal stop; however, X is more of a place-holder for vowels while ' is to signify a break in a word. This is the more basic alphabet of Sepeke, the other is a scriptier version of this alphabet where all consonants are connected. I'll try to upload that one soon.

I just noticed this while I answered my own question here.

Normally, in English, if I were to say "He gives me a ball." 'me' is the indirect object and 'ball' is the direct object. In Sepeke, you'd only accused the direct object. The reason for this is that nouns are only accused when they are directly receiving the action of the verb. In the phrase "He gives me a ball." 'me' is not incorporated with the act of 'giving', it is instead on the receiving end.

If that makes no sense, just remember it like this: Second noun gets accused. For example:

He sees me. - Le vizas kef. [Kef is the direct object]

It gives me a ball. - De cas ke ela maef. [Ke is the indirect object, Maef is the direct object.]

Here's some more!

1. For - Eca

2. Happy - Poma

3. Hard / Difficult - Akaja

4. To hope / To try - Eragim

5. To help - Polim

6. Dumb / Stupid - Akava

7. To create - Kazxim

8. Expensive - Eviga

9. Evil - Abra

10. Facing - Jo

Woot on an unnecessarily long lesson!

I've been putting off phrases for a while because... well.. they're odd. You see, Sepeke doesn't use question words. Sepeke poses questions by changing verbs into the conditional-question form. This conjugation is -is. For example:

I am? - Ke sis? (I [physically] am...?)

You have? - Be bis? (You have...?)

It is located at? - De vekis? (It locates...?)

Now, this is all fine and dandy but you would like to know how to ask someone how they are and not sound like an idiot, right? Some questions are posed in unique ways. An example of this would be Be venis beta? Let's dissect it:

Be venis beta?

Be - You (singular, nominative)

Venis - Conditional-Question Form of Venim, 'to feel'

Beta - Good/Proper/Well

You can also say Be betis? (literally: You be proper(conditional)?)

From this, we can figure out the phrase says something like 'You feel good?' That's pretty darn close. A more correct translation would be 'Are you feeling proper?' Hence, Be venis beta? literally means 'How are you?' That's not so bad, right? Here's another:

Be vekis?

This probably means something like 'You locate?' Well, yes, it does but it really means 'You are located (where)?'. Therefore, it most closely means 'Where are you?' This ties into Sepeke's "sentences should be literal" rule which I will discuss more in later lessons.

Let's try responding to these questions. You'll want to use the present tense for these two because they are asking about something you are either feeling or doing right now. Other questions ask what you have done or what you will do but we'll discuss those soon enough.

For Be venis beta?, we'd respond Ke venas beta. (I feel proper.) See? Simple.

For Be betis?, one would respond Ke betas. (I be proper.)

For Be vekis? it gets a bit more interesting. I could say Ke vekas (location). but that is very concrete. Let's say I wanted to say something like 'I'm here.' Then, we'd use Ke vekas lo. (I am close/here). If I wanted to say 'I'm there', I'd say Ke vekas alo. (I am far/there).

Lo and Alo are directals, hence their -o ending. Directals function like adjectives but are given their own special group.

Here are some more questions with their basic responses:

How old are you? - Be fevis? (You are aged?)

I am... years old. - Ke fevas... (I am aged...)

What is it? - De sis? (It is?)

It is... - De sas... (It is...)

What color is it? - De klovis? (It colored?)

It is colored... - De klovas... (It colored...)

What does it do? - De obris? (It does?)

It does... - De obras... (It does...)

Quick Note: A question can be posed in another time period by conjugating for the time period, then adding -is at the end. For example:

What/How was it? - De saris? (It was?)

It was... - De sar... (It was...)

Where will it be? - De vekesis? (It will locate?)

It will be at... - De vekes... (It will locate...)

These are basic questions, in a future lesson I will describe working with the complex tense to answer questions. For now, try to stick with answering in the present, preterit, and future tenses, okay?

English as &, Spanish has y, why doesn't Sepeke have a short symbol for 'and'? From now on, if you're too lazy to write zxa, you can just write z. For example:

Ponime z panime. - Dog and Cat

As I discussed in the Digits and Amounts lesson, Nela means 'An amount of zero'. Now, you might just think this would be used to say something like nela ponimen, "zero dogs". However, you can also use it for something like "we have no dogs." The 'no' is replaced by nela in this case.

No dogs. - Nela ponimen

**We have no dogs - Ken bas nela ponimenef [This includes both the plural -n and the object -(e)f, be careful.]

Note that this 'no' is different from the 'no' when responding to questions which is abet.

The Historical Tense is the second form of past tense in Sepeke. The historical tense is used to show that something happen many many years ago. Examples of this would be things from history textbooks. You will usually use the historical tense to discuss things that occurred before your lifespan (and everyone else's who are alive). For example:

Rome was an empire. - Rome sam (ela) deve.

Cavemen created fire. - Qezale kazxam ekelze.

The Historical ending is -am. You can also use it to talk about your ancestors, for example:

My ancestors were powerful - Ka qezape hxabam. [My old-relatives (historically) were powerful]

I'm going to try to post a couple vocabulary lists with important words for you guys to learn.

1. Animal - Nime

2. Apple - Emane

3. Food - Deme

4. To eat - Demim / Dinim

5. To come - Vegim

6. To love - Lim

7. Water - Eqe

8. New / Young - Aqeza

9. Flower - Feme

10. Friend - Sxasxe

NOTE: Title was supposed to say "Future Tenses" not "Future and Tenses" :/

This isn't really a full lesson but it's pretty important.

Sepeke has two variations of the future tense: (Near Future) Future Tense and the (Hopeful Future) Eventive Tense. You would use the future tense to describe something you will do (within the time span of now until several years from now or so.)

I will be - Ke ses

You will have - Be bes

They will do - Den obres

The Future ending is -es if you haven't noticed.

The eventive tense is used for thinks you hope one day will happen or will eventually happen.

I will eventually get a dog. - Ke cem ela ponimef (This includes the accusative case so don't fret if the -f in ponimef freaks you out. Dog is usually 'ponime')

We hope for world peace. - Ken epem pave eca enae/onae. (This isn't a literal translation, it actually means "We (eventually) want peace for (the) world")

The Eventive ending is -em

As you saw above, 'epem' (eventive 'to want') is used like "I hope" is in English. Try writing some sentences in the future tense if you can.

This is a quick lesson because it is super easy. In Sepeke, names are frequently created by slapping on a name suffix to adjectives. This way, you can name things "beautiful" or "magical". The suffix to change an adjective (only adjectives!) into a name is -ae, (drop the 'a', add 'ae')

Prettt - Fema

Pretty (as a name) - Femae

Adorable - Ega

Adorable (as a name) / Sweetie - Egae

And there you go. It's as simple as that.

Note: 'Sepekazxim' is the verb that means 'to Sepekify / to make something sound like Sepeke'
