Pluto-ma Nesia 9

       

9. Powder and Arms

        _9. Explode-Farina e plu Fusili

We had hardly got down into the cabin when a sailor followed us.
_Na pa ki ad infra in cefa-kamera, po-kron u mari-pe ki po na minus atende.

"Captain Smollett, sir, axing to speak with you," said he.
_An dice, "U navi-cefa Smolet, cefa, dice petitio de dice ko tu."

The captain, who was close behind his messenger, entered at once and shut the door behind him.
_U navi-cefa; qi es proxi po info-pe, ki in la minus atende, e sti klude porta po se.

"Well, sir," said the captain, "better speak plain, I believe, even at the risk of offence. I don't like this cruise; I don't like the men."
_U navi-cefa dice, "Ma boni es klari dice - mi este - klu ko risko de koleri. Mi ne este hedo de u-ci viagia. Mi ne este hedo de plu ergo-pe.

"I was engaged, sir, on what we call sealed orders, to sail this ship for that gentleman where he should bid me," said the captain. "So far so good. But now I find that every man before the mast knows more than I do.
_"Mi pa gene ergo, cefa, per plu komanda; a qi pa es ge-dona plu verba "ge-klude," tende sti; u-ci navi ki a lo; a qi u-ci andro dice, mi ki. Anti-co mi nu detekti; panto simpli ergo-pe este ma mega logi de viagia, de mi este.

"Next," said the captain, "I learn we are going after treasure--hear it from my own hands, mind you. Now, treasure is ticklish work; I don't like treasure voyages on any account.
_"Po-co mi pa gene info; na ki tende gene pluto-ma - audi u-ci ra ex plu ergo-pe de mi auto - sti logi. Pluto-ma es sti-konfusi ergo. Mi ne este hedo de pluto-ma."

Replied Dr. Livesey. "Next, you say you don't like the crew."
_Medika Livsi reakti, "Seqe-co tu dice; tu ne este hedo de plu ergo-pe."

"They are putting the powder and the arms in the fore hold. Now, you have a good place under the cabin; why not put them there?"
_U navi-cefa dice, "Mu moti plu explode-farina e milita-ru in ante tena-ka. Sti logi, tu habe u boni loka infra cefa-ka. Vi ne moti mu a ci qo-ka?"

"I'll tell you what I've heard myself," continued Captain Smollett: "that you have a map of an island, that there's crosses on the map to show where treasure is."
_U navi-cefa du dice, "Mi fu dice a vi u ra; mi auto pa audi: vi habe u carta de nesia, e plu kruci es epi carta, tende dona loka de plu pluto-ma."

"I never told that," cried the squire, "to a soul!"
_U proprie-pe dice per mega voka, "Mi pa dice u-la ra a nuli-pe!"

"I see," said the doctor. "You wish us... to make a garrison of the stern part of the ship... In other words, you fear a mutiny."
_"U medika dice, "Mi este logi. Tu volu; na face un imuni-lo lo poste de navi. Alo-co tu este fobo de no-reakti ex plu mari-pe."

"I ask you to take certain precautions or let me resign my berth."
_Navi-cefa Smolet dice, "Mi dice petitio; vi reakti plu certa kura, alo lase; mi lase u-ci navi."

"No more I would," cried the squire. "Had Livesey not been here I should have seen you to the deuce."
_U proprie-pe dice per mega voku, "Mi ne nu volu. Si Livsi ne pa es ci, mi sio apo tu."

Glosa 1000

 Why 1000 words? _1000 verba qo-te? Language instructors have found that when language learners reach the level of having a 1000 word vocabulary, they are able to have simple conversations in the language. Linguists have also observed that the average daily vocabulary of a speaker, no matter which language they speak, consists of about 1000 words. Therefore 1000 words seem to be the logically sized vocabulary for a constructed international language. _Plu lingua dona-sko-pe pa detekti; kron plu xeno-lingua gene-sko-pe gene u tekno de 1000 numera verba-fa, mu pote dice per simpli mode ko plu plus homi de u-la lingua.

Glosa 1000 Words with Explanations

(Last update 2026-03-17) If you cannot find a word in this list, you really do not need another word. For instance, there is no word for "desk" in this list. Oh, no! Is the language deficient? Is there some kind of limbo here? Instead of inventing or adding a new word, just say what the word means. What is a desk? A piece of furniture you write on. Therefore grafo-mo, "write-furniture," is the word for "desk."  Sometimes an entire phrase may be necessary to state what you mean. "Department store" can be expressed as u mega boteka ko poli difere ra . That is just the way it goes with a language with a small vocabulary! After you say it like this once, you can usually say u boteka , and people will know what you mean. You need to get out of the habit of thinking that one meaning (MY meaning, which is better than anyone else's meaning) should have one word. In all languages the meaning of words varies. The first step in learning Glosa 1000 is ge...
