My existentialism about getting older aside 😅, here’s how to say “Happy Birthday” in #Æolian 🎂

estanv: compound noun of lexemes ESTE ‘birth’, ANV ‘day’

phlosar: intransitive verb ‘become fun’ of lexeme PHLOS ‘fun’

“Happy New Year!” 🎉
…or as said in #Æolian
“Shall the new winds blow (for you)!”

This phrase refers to the change of winds that signify the coming year 🍃

Typically, Windfolk celebrate this around Spring Equinox when Winter ❄️ turns to Spring 🌸

A little catch-up posting as I move some of my old material to this new account 😅 🎉

But, here’s “Merry Christmas” 🎄 in #Æolian

As it’s a bit more secular in meaning, I suppose one could also say it for “happy holidays” or “seasons greetings” 😊❄️

Fruit! 🥭🍒🍇🍉🍐

It’s the names of various fruits in #Æolian 🌪️

I drew them in coloured pencil. It took a while, but was fun 🥰

The 1st page is my OC’s fave fruits. What are yours? Also, what’re some unlisted fruits you’d like to know the name of? 🤔

Hi all! Niþo!

Here's Saronaei & friends to talk a bit about adjectives in #Æolian today

They are largely uniform in how they are patterned and occur, e.g. most end in -s

Hopefully this little #conlang comic will help with the basics 🥰
More on adjectives later 🙂

Since Chinese New Year is upon us, here is how to say each of the Chinese zodiac animals in #Æolian

Windfolk don't use this zodiac system, but for fun, if one wanted to talk about this topic, this is the basic info about the animals 😊

Windfolk zodiac is based on one’s “birth cloud”: clouds & weather present at one's birth (e.g. calm/clear, stormy, precipitation, overcast, windy, ominous, cool, warm) ⛅️

My OC Saronaei's birthcloud is nacreous, as he was born during his country’s wintry winds 🌬️

Since it is my OC's birthday (at least if his world's calendar matched ours), I figured I'd do a post on the zodiac

This is the zodiac of our world in #Æolian language
But, they actually use a different system in their society
