Uusisuom is a new, auxiliary language designed for international usage. Its
main influences have been Finnish, Lithuanian and Russian. It is a beautiful
language and surprisingly simple to learn and use. Below is the text for
Lesson Two. Free, online lessons can be found at the main Uusisuom language

Some new words:
Mirko = cat
Vetta = water
Uusi = new
Huppo = bowl
Jo = and
Vajen = but
Lat = milk
Kavi = coffee
Sentences using some of the new words:
The boy and his cats are in the house: Poilu jo mirkollatat suuanne ruutisa
A bowl of water: Vettakat huppo
NOTE:
'-kat' in Uusisuom is the same as <'s> in English. To say 'a bowl OF water',
you write 'the water's bowl' = vettakat huppo
A bowl of milk = latkat huppo
In English, you indicate that something belongs to more than one person by
putting the apostrophe (') after the 's'. For example: the boy's cat
(meaning the cat belonging to one boy) - the boys' cat (meaning the cat
belonging to a group of boys).
In Uusisuom, it is a very simple way of distinguishing between the two:
The boy's cat = Poilukat mirko
The boys' cat = Poilukatin mirko
You use '-katin' to indicate <s'>
Verb: to have = talti
I have - talan
You have - talet
He/she/it has - talollu
We have - talamme
You have (polite) - talatte
They have - talanne
Position word: '-le' meaning 'at'
The girl is at the house - Turta suuollu ruutile
The boys are at his house - Poilutat suuanne ruutillale
