Why learn Slovio?

1.Slovio is an opener (starting-tool) for non-Slavs who want / or have to learn one or more Slavic languages
2.Slovio is a gift for expatriated Slavs who live for long even for generations especially in Romance and Germanic speaking countries. And who, after looking at declination tables of any Slavic languages, give it up to be perfect in their own mother tongue.
3.Slovio is great to be used in foreign countries where Slavs of different nations meet each other. (Ioannes created with his Slavic friends an easy-to-learn-language for their communication in England, great!)
4.I use Slovio to contact different Slavic organisations. And they do understand me.
5.In Slavic forums like here I have almost no problem to communicate using Slovio.
6.i tak dalej
I am sure other users of Slovio will find more interesting answers to your questions like me.

please don't make me pronounce words that start with chc
it's affricate-fricative-affricate... way too hard
in Russian OR Ukrainian we don't even have sequences of three consonants with ONE of them being an affricate much less two...

Simplicity is more important than naturalism, if you're goining to learn foreign language. I understand Slovakian and Ukrainian but I'm scared to learn these language, becouse I affraid about complicated grammar. The same thing is with interslavic language, if grammar is too complicated nobody will want to learn it.

"...that Slavs, who are not linguists but only potential users of the pan-slavic language, DON'T ACCEPT SLOVIO with current grammar. SLAVIC USERS DON'T ACCEPT SIMPLIFIED GRAMMAR! This is a fact."

"What is that Pan-Slavic ConLang?

Well, my answer is tempered by my belief that that Pan-Slavic ConLang should be one which is both:
(1) readily accessible to non-Slavic Speakers; and
(2) flexible enough so that a more complex version of it can be utilized among Slavic-speakers.

Plural ending "i"

I understand your process of thinking and your dropping of the i-ending. I hope you will soon realize that the less complicated plural ending is the (i)s one.

I still stand by my 16 December 2008 remark:

that Pan-Slavic ConLang should be one which is both:
(1) readily accessible to non-Slavic Speakers; and
(2) flexible enough so that a more complex version of it can be utilized among Slavic-speakers.

Unless these two options are available, I do not think Slovio or any of its children or grand-children will be as successful without the two combined options.

I have been reviewing the proposal by Michal Borevicka from Slavic-Unity - a combination of Slovio + Rozumio + Slovianski + Sloviensk (I called it "Slovioski" in the Slavic-Unity besed).

It uses Slovio as its basis - including Slovio Dictionary - and offers an expanded version for those writers and speakers who feel they need to express themselves with a fuller grammar.

"...that Slavs, who are not linguists but only potential users of the pan-slavic language, DON'T ACCEPT SLOVIO with current grammar. SLAVIC USERS DON'T ACCEPT SIMPLIFIED GRAMMAR! This is a fact."


***************************************************************************************************

SLAVIC USERS DON'T ACCEPT ANY - EVEN VERY COMPLICATED GRAMMARS. THE MAJORITY OF THEM EVEN DON'T ACCEPT ANY OTHER NATURAL SLAVIC LANGUAGES (not only that one with the simplified grammars).

Moraczewski, it's absolutely not important for majority of the Slavs now since they don't accept any
other slavic languages regardless those grammars are easy or difficult, natural or auxilliary.
The common slavic people simply accept only their own mother tongues and unfortunatelly English, German, French, Spanish, .........


Once again I repeat - it's not the matter of the fact if the Slavic people accept natural, auxilliary, difficult or easy - grammar langs but if they are willing accept any other language at all. The simpliest way for them is to speak in their mother tongues or if they are made by situation then English but at the moment they will not accept any of other languages at all.

This is nowaday's reality.

Probably the only way how to make the Slavic nations understand each other is to unify all the different words that are in all slavic languages by keeping their national grammars.

If we use our common vocabulary (majority of words, basic words are already common) with our national slavic grammars there would not be any problems with mutual understanding.

If there is some of you that would do some experiment with some article that would use some common vocabulary but differenciate only in our grammars I am sure that all of those who use any slavic language as their mother tongue would understand that article.

Can anybody propose some short article that would be translated into all the slavic languages ?
Then we make some agreement with our common vocabulary that will be added to that article by keeping all our mother tongue grammars.
