Ay, mí qey aláya ú zeshe! Noyatendi lawe mbeindoamonyortenna.
O, but how wonderful is writing! You create your whole little secret way of thinking.

Qi tintián qer, enduit e-naran.
And while thinking differently, you change slowly.

Teyaindide 'mbeher'. :)
I did not said always. .)

Úwuher, teyaissiyundinwe. Mí qen, udoriah e-zeshendie qazunna qoru.
In most cases, not. But then it is tiresome to write long texts.

Kai! Noyayundi longunna amyuryo qi teyaissiyu gelongaryu?
But hey, we create our own languages and can't speak them?

Tesfiad qeyaste umayanna. Enge yúya qey, nyeniendi uinqenna teg.
Qi leya doronahteya mbemenu wagulod.
I didn't want to be judgemental. If I was I'm sorry. And every man is lazy a bit.

Uduah, qen uduah ta noyat tegéah. Túsha qehu mena qembiliq. Mí tewiwíe hunna: ú andoro.
:) Boring as boring is the endless creation. This is probably not the right word for it.

Tányáyire.
I have to admit.
