How To Speak Retfon...
First of all, the grammar is very simple and works like this:
I love you = ngoo lupeks dak
I am going east = ngoo gans rete (literally "i go east")
Second, some basic language rules:
to make a word plural, add a q, for instance the plural of komputer (computer) is komputerq. If the last letter is a hard consonant, simply replace it, as in the plural of dak (you) is daq.
All verbs end in an s, to make it easier for use within the above grammar.
Words can be grouped together with an apostrophe to form names or similar, for instance vona'wepsiq (music websites). This is also used for ownership, such as ngoo has ngoo'gulimo (i hate my father, literally i hate i'father or i hate the father of me)
