'E's not pinin'!
'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be!
'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff!
Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace!
If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

No translation prepared yet, but this looks to be quite the challenge. We'll have to create contractions and decide whether to translate literally or use equivalent metaphors.

Here's my go. This is actually correct Raitoliste, so it doesn't have as much the same feel to it. I don't really know how to get the same feel in Raitoliste.
Ua óno ovazw!
Ónua isw! Ua reiki marote dw! Nuwó dw!
Ónua tugasw à ónua sw óri ezale líhwreoio! Ua zïó kasw!
Déomu, o usw uatázeomi!
Ie ua ínua o usiazw merẃtieogi, óne deizirø ygasazw!
Óri dakatasazø wnaze reini! [I have no idea what this metaphor means]
Ónua ekasake sedakasazw, ónua ugasw reiki udámeogw, ugasw ihakámakeosw, à ygathazw iari uihetéhølemy!!
REIKE UATAMARÓTE!!
Not the best. It has too good of grammar and stuff. But it works.
(We should have more Monty Python translations...)

That's what I was getting at, TC's like this make you think about contraction and accents and different spelling as there would be in some real languages.
Not knowing Raitoliste, I have to ask: Did you translate things like "kick the bucket" literally, or use Raitoliste euphemisms?
| Tolkien_Freak wrote: | | (We should have more Monty Python translations...) |
Yes, I agree!!

I translated literally. Raitoliste doesn't have any euphemisms just yet.

I know I'm kind of bringing this back from the dead, but I was searching through my folder of conlanging on the weekend and I found this which I had started almost a year ago... looking back at it, it was amazing to see how much my language had changed since then, so I decided to give it another go with the current language.
Here goes...
Vén lé káltkórâkźénétén śálnôn!
Čévén bíblénróntîčlélšót bíbléngértén! Nál fíśtráś śópén káltdrônén śálnôn! Čévén bíblénkántôblélšót drã!

Śálnônbóf dér kórbérk, véndél čán génwîktâ śúlbtráčát!
Kõ dégórbrálśín lén kálwôvtíśén vén trálčórbílâdórśénprôt kãśál, vénśín čánén móbtânšêlén álbśárkîtán trálk rádéntúngértén!
Śôśkén vógrãmpánák dér wãlfûk śópén káltdrãn dér kénšôhál! Vénśín lén ámnútón vórškúpûgér õtél!

NÁD KÁLTDRÔNÉN ŚÁLNÔN ÉLN FÍŚTRÁŚ!!
I'd give you a gloss to go with it, but I added a bunch of new things over the weekend, and I need to work out how to gloss them.

* I don't know what they mean by "pine" in this context. "Vín" is therefore a transliteration and not an actual verb.
** Or similar bird.
*** Or similar flower.

You had said | Hemicomputer wrote: | | No translation prepared yet, but this looks to be quite the challenge. We'll have to create contractions and decide whether to translate literally or use equivalent metaphors. |
so I just wanted to "cheerlead" you.

Looks like the "cheerleading" worked! Thanks, that's great!
Any chance of seeing it in your conscript, or is that it already?
Any chance of an interlinear morphemic gloss?
How 'bout a sound file of what it sounds like?
(No pressure.)

Definitely.

Perhaps. I'm not too sure how to gloss abbreviations.
| eldin raigmore wrote: | | How 'bout a sound file of what it sounds like? |
Since I've finally found a good way to get sounds onto my computer, sure! |

Definitely which? Definitely "that's already my conscript", or definitely "there's a chance of seeing it in my conscript"?

Definitely you can see it in the actual conscript. |
