You could say something in English, but it seems better to me if I put certain things into Sturnan to say them (and provide a translation, of course). Formal things seem more personal, then. I guess it's because constructed languages are so often personal, despite the availability of information on some, and using one's conlang is revealing a part of one's private world to someone else. I've got psycholology. Oyah. Jan, a meisken 'i kedhai, sekalge:

for that. Really? I didn't notice. I've a mind like a thingie these days. You know. You pour things through it.

I didn't notice that either. Perhaps you read a different question?
