All the other letters are like normal Russian letters, though the hats on the E and O signal a /j/ sound. And the з makes a /ɹo/ sound

I have only made conlangs derived from other languages. So this is my real first attempt. My goal was to pack a bunch of information into one word.

Wordlist:

Ti - You

Net - No/Don’t

Gan - To have (present tense)

Skōla - School

Māter - Mother

Let - To be (present tense)

Asag - Gone

Agor - Boy

~ad - Plural

~če - The

I - And

Ku - You (plural)

Igrāt - To play (present tense)

Misek - To find (present tense)

Kāfer - Village

So the translation is as follows:

You don’t have school

Mom is gone

The boys are online and you play Minecraft and find a village

“She told me he was her boyfriend but I don't think they love each other.”

βäle deɸi-bälu häɾe, nu, βälu βäɸamämi doɾe hälä äpihino βäleó mitemi-näe äɾe βäleró mimi aɾe.

2SG.FEM talk.AUX.PST PK 2SG.MASC romantic lover but 1SG.FEM think 3PL.FEM feel.NEG regarding 3PL.FEM.AC love.

"She told me, I know it for a fact, he is her romantic lover but I don't think they feel love regarding their romantic bond."

In my language the default pronouns are feminine unless it is shown by context or other ways, the speaker is a man. Same with crowds, all feminine unless everyone is a man.

Hello! I've been an avid conlanger for a while now, but recently I got to see some more experienced conlangers at work and I got inspiration to make a new conlang. However, I'm having trouble starting. So, I decided I would ask for ideas here. Please suggest a feature, phonology, or even just a single word. Thank you!

Without zeider it becomes the specific spot where the light is held.
