Color-coded Syntax Sentences

The syntax has been fixed, so I took this from April 7, 2010 and fixed the few errors. I figured colors would help explain the syntax and sentence structure of Aniku. Along with my new conlang.wikia page, I think people will understand better. Enjoy perusing!

Ha za intétu yakor'a.
I am finally happy.

Kishu oxüvu mikzam.
The depression has ended.

Arvanada te va aleu sona.
My world is new again.

Anik su jofie ba van kii Venjat wa?
We split--so what?

O'i masan sholi ju kétén.
You aren't welcome here anymore.

Hane harte azeu kizon unmat yemag Ya.
I have moved on from you.

Wa.. Ha narke no unmat Ya un.. xüwe azteike.
SoI will run from you and then live.

Han la ke ju.
You don't own me.

Ha su kashe Ya nemyat ki suma ba chiju .
I hate you for killing our love.

Ha chijunute nun kux te ivna Ya.
I love you with all my heart.

Ha okye no fölä Ya sumét.
I'll eat only if you eat.

Kuwynér te hata chiju te.
My language, which I created, is my love.

Ya ikéte vi ju maxa oke.
I thought you didn't like her.

Omi okye ve.
You all may eat as of right now.

Ha lashare xolä vlöne ubanan te mala.
I only ever dream about my past.

O'i ikéte donat mi uno okye wä vana?
You like half-eaten doughnuts?

I've broken the sentences down for you by color-coding them. The highlighted words are implied. Whatever color the word is highlighted, that is what word is associated with its presence.

The sentence structure and syntax go as such:

Subject Verb Object ] --- Or, SVO.
Han okye a'kte mi.
I eat apples.

To figure out where propositions, adverbs, or anything else goes, let's determine what they're doing. Questioning the sentence helps you a lot. Let's take the sentence, "I eat apples" and then add in also.

Han okye aka a'kte mi.
I eat apples also.

Why does aka go after okye? The proposition aka is actually modifying the verb okyeIt is telling the person who is listening how the verb was done! You can remember this rule by asking yourself some questions to figure it out.

"What am I doing with the apples?"
I'm eating them.

"How am I eating the apples?"
I'm eating them also.

So the preposition aka goes after the verb okye.

Han okye ba aka a'kte mi ki hazinate.
I also ate apples yesterday.

Jula zanyre ve ju Ya

Taken form my new conlang.wikia page.

Bishuve vä halifet azeu kizon abuge ani janvoke pika. Ha za nug'löte inat nun te yö ivna O'i kii nön, Ha koyrnoe inat chijuma te win Ya mala. Poj sani maha ju. Ha koyrnoe ba mer'a gana Ani meakte fiyalu viäno muju i, höwit Ha nug'löte ve win ju. St'e ki Ha malnue ba mo--Bukunde ju. Bishuve dialéke t'gi azeu kizon Ha. Ue yui min déru'n, Nun te ishunudie azeu kizon taxu yunova la. An za kuwiyane sholi ju O'i nön Xüwe kuluwi ve ue min te, oso nö chijuma te. Kase ochimapale azeu kizon taxu Han, höwlit, Ha chrinune ve sani mala i intétu ijan. O su chinue ba ruken nö sana nön Aniab va mu'itu ju. S'te ki Ani janvoke sona mo--Yoza ki bukunde vi. Poj vinate yui yö, Ha nu malnue ve intétu i.

Three years have passed since we first met. I still feel for you in my heart and I still think of you as being my lover, but it's not real.. A while ago, I thought that we would grow old together, and yet, I don't feel the same now. When was it that I moved on--I don't know. The years have persuaded me well. Regardless of these words, my heart is now free from your pain. I don't need you anymore and I take back all of my words, my lost lover. She has stolen you from me, and yet, I feel so happy about it now. You fell in love with someone else, and that isn't a crime. When we'll meet again, who knows, but on this day, I am moving on happily.
