Im not making a cong, but Im modding my mothertongue :)

You gave me idea that the phrase "I‘m missing X" could be used to talk about posessions that are far away from fthe speaker as well

Wow it‘s very creative! Thank you for sharing. Are you using this in your clong?

Id say the word "have" doesnt have to be defined as "to be in posession of somebody or something", but could also be defined as "to be caring for somebody or something". So "I've got a sister" can be interpreted as "I am caring for my sister".

If we were to commit to this interpretation, we would have to for example weed out the instances of abuse. So mistreatment means it's not yours. If you cant take care of your car, it's not yours. Likewise, if somebody is hoarding cars, then they are not taking care of them so it's not theirs. They own the cars, but they dont have them because they dont care for them. "The billionaire doesnt have the yacht, tin owns it."

In a sentence like "Are you prepared to have the dog?" this would be the same as "Do you feel responsible enough to take care of the dog?"

Oh, it's not scientific. Just a feeling and þeory based on living in boþ cultures.

Yeah, your design would have a greater impact þan mere word order, which - if it had any effect - would be extremely subtle.

Interesting hypothesis but i tend to disagree. In fact my clong is more anti-capitalist than you think: there is no way to say "I have X", only "I‘m nearbying X"/“X is nearbying me“

It's the same gamy from monogamy and polygamy

This is awesome. My favorites are megapsychic and monostrophe

My megapsychosis knows no bounds

Interesting yeory. But yere is a pretty glaring asymmetry yat appears to exist just to make it work.

There’s Kēlen, which is famously ‘Verbless’ though people dispute if thay is actually the case, since many people see it as just rebranding verbs. But still a very cool thought experiment, and I’m curious to see what you come up with!!

I don’t think there is much merit to this, considering Germany is pretty much as capitalist as the uk, generally. Maybe america sure, but I don’t think you can put that on the language. Also Dutch is similar to german in this regard and they literally ‘invented’ capitalism…

Its just that when I hear gamics, I think gamets, and I think gametophiles. And so then I'm like ok so equigamic, equal gametophytes?

Equigamics are valid and there's nothing wrong with being equi

Interesting idea. I have a þeory, sort of Sapir-Whorf-adjacent, þat English emphasizes nouns by placing þem at þe beginning and end of sentances; and þat þis has reinforced capitalist ideals in English-speaking countries. German emphasizes verbs more, often putting verbs at þe end, and þis is reflected in a slightly more community/activity focus and less focus on conspicuous consumption. Americans value what you have; Germans value what you do.

It's a gross, loose, generalization which won't stand up to scrutiny, but it occurred to me and I þink þere may be a tiny grain of truþ in it.

So: you're goimg to create þe ultimate Capitalist conlang, huh?

I am so happy I don't have to call my motorcycle an ergatorote.

I wanna live in the megapsychic monostrophe

This is brilliant I love it

Americans will justify anything just not to use kilometers

equigamic doesn't seem quite right.

Multierasty sounds exactly like what I think of polyamory, I'm okay with switching that one.

This seems really cool. Any intention to post some audio clips of pronunciations

Thank you!

Yes

This looks so cool.
