Conlang Word Derivation
Hi guys So, I'm working on my conlang called Verdonian, it is a latin-german inspired conalng and I stuck on a question: wheter I should enable speakers to make different tense adjectives, nouns, and adverbs? It would be quite useful for expressing ideas like "ex-king" or "the future chef".
It would be expressed by a tense marker vowel used as an infix after the root amd before the suffix of type of speech.
E.g. skribum = the written thing (present) skribusum = the thing that will be written (future)
regnuse = the male ruler (present) regnouse = the male ruler in the past (past)
But it would complicate the grammar quite a bit too, for usage of the different tense variants (I have 4 tenses: distant past, past, present and future). I would have to lay the rules when to use which form.
What do you think guys, would it work? Is it intuitive for y'all?
