Miranei word of the day - sanrfi(a) ganrfi(a) plánrfi(a)

sanrfi - (verb) would (pronc. SAN r fee)

ganrfi - (verb) could (pronc. GAHN r fee)

plánrfi - (verb) should (pronc. PLÁN r fee)

To make the á sound: hold your mouth like you're going to say 'oh' than pronounce the 'A' sound. It should sound like, please forgive me, PLoAWN, without an emphasis on the 'o' sound - say it easy and without effort and it will sound right.

And the 'r' without a vowel should be a VERY soft 'r' sound.

fun usage:

Sanrfi naskreim ilteri'anon omen? (Would you dance with me?) (ilteri - dance future tense)

Ioll plánrfi herrala naskreim, sae naslem ohn ornl finré. (I should destroy you, but you were once my friend.)

cheers,

Kurt
