Welcome to my conlang/conculture page!
This is where I talk about my constructive language and my constructive culture. Forgive me for the large portion of space being took up by the table. I have another page for where I only speak in kiisszs
Introduction
kiisszs is a planet, a group of people and a language. I will go into each categorey, I will go back and touch up things and change things. If you have any questions, message me! One thing though,kiisszs is NOT pronounced "ki,i,s,s,zuh". It is prounouced "ki,s,zuh", because it used to be prounouced the other way, but it adapted into a shorter verison for quickness. Dispite that it is still spelt the same.
kiisszs the planet
kiisszs is a star that has gone through deposition and then heated back up after the process finished. The star is very far away from Earth, and it has its own sun that is much closer to it compared to our Sun and Earth. When the star solidifyed it created a new element. The element is unnamed in English, the natives call it the same thing they call themselves kiisszs because they came from the star (I'll get more into that later). The element is like rock but spongey when it gets wet. There are several different levels of kiisszs until you get to the core. The first is a hard rock that is difficult to penetrate with man-made tools, with kiisszs tools, it can be dug into within a human hour. The second layed is a few human feet down and its mushy, its wet from the "lava" that is under the ground.

Note: lu and the boxes that seperate words and end sentences are messed up in my font. I've tried to fix it but nothing is working. Sorry :(

Reference Grammar
Default word order: SVO.
Adjectives are after the noun.
Plural is indicated when the character zuh is after the noun. Plural can be used after the verb to indicate that the verb has been done many times.
Tense is indicated with the character me. If it starts the sentence its future tense; if it ends, then it's past. To indicate the present, it is attached to the end of the verb. To indicate how long ago, after ending the sentence, you would say something like “ii, ipcuhemeza.” Translation: 2 days.
To say here-here means present, you take meme and follow the rule; attach it to a verb. The verb would be the auxiliary verb “are” which in kiisszs would be oips
Example: isszuh, oips, meme.
Translation: They are here.
If a verb is happening in the present and is happening many times, zuh goes first.
Example: iss, hafetuh, puhgeeu, zuh, me, geoluh/luh.
Translation: He/She/It heals you many times in the present.
Verbs usually combine a noun with “to be able”. If it isn't applicable, a whole new word is created or combined. When two or more verbs share a noun, one is assigned a negative.
Example: to take is hafetuh, luiesruh. Since it is seen as negative to take, while to give is hafetuh, louiehs. When compounding verbs with “to be able,” they don't follow the “adjectives follow after the noun rule.”
Nouns that describe a person or a thing that performs a verb have the suffix ap.
When ruh is not used as a character, but as a negative word, it starts or ends the word.
To indicate possession, you have to take the verb “to hold” (hafetuh, luiesnuh) and put a pronoun who’s possessing in between it.
Example: hafetuh, isszuh, luiesnuh, afe.
Translation: They possess the place.
Instead of “My name is…”. The kiisszs say, “I possess name…”
Example: hafetuh, u, luiesnuh, alulʌ, puhbuhskluh.
Translation: I possess the name Alula.
To indicate “to keep,” you take the verb “to hold” (hafetuh, luiesnuh), add a pronoun in the middle [just like possession], and add me in the beginning. It translates to “future to ho[pronoun]ld.” Example: me, hafetuh, luh, luiesnuh, ipluluh.
Translation: In the future, you keep iplouluh.
