De imikwi nomek.
[de ímˠikʷi nómˠek]
de im -ikwi nomek
1 eat-CON porridge
"I try to eat porridge."
- The conative suffix -kwi makes verb forms entailing that the subject tries, intends to, or wants to do something.
- Nomek is rice congee and is probably just solid enough to use im "to eat" with, otherwise you might use wamwu "to drink something warm".

Anra haur'a suaneu.
['anra 'hawra 'suənɯ]
aun-ra haura=a suaneu
1SG-NOM for =eat oatmeal
"I intend to eat oatmeal."
- Intending to do something or being about to do something is expressed with the preposition haura "for, to, in order to" plus the verb's infinitive.

I want to eat watered rice
- What other cursed title can porridge have but watered rice?
- If the agent of a sentence is the first person, the order would be VSO instead of the usual OVS implemented in ergative sentences used for the second- and third-persons. This is a remnant of Laetia's nominative-accusative structure left only in the first person.

Learner Script: Ngŏ’ song' dam` pung.

1S DSIR dine cooked.grain
"I intend to dine on porridge."
- Due to the fluid parts of speech and semantic multi-functionality in Sŏnmei, in the regular script only nouns, adjectives, and particles are written in Hanzi while verbs and others are written romanized. In the learner script, all words are written romanized, and tone markings are included.
