Darynese

Darynese is OVS -- just a note.

"I love you."
Daibe zaelaman raikae.
The pronouns change with gender and age of the speaker and listener (I assumed two adult females), and may be omitted entirely in spoken Darynese. Also, Darynese has many words that would translate to the English 'love' -- I used the most general, the one that can work for friends, lovers, spouses, or family members. I also felt it was fair to use a casual level of politeness.

"Shut up! Motherfucker!"
Ilaetraeril utaopinyaera paizaeyaonpa!
Literally, "Stop talking, disowned person!" I decided to go with the sentiment, rather than use a direct translation there -- though usually I use 'paizaeyaonpa' as more of an analog to bastard. Darynese is spoken by a matrilineal & matriarchal culture, so I doubt 'motherfucker' would be as popular as an insult. If anything, if I was going to use the parental incest thing, it would be more likely to be fatherfucker.

"I'm loving it!"
Raikae yimanra yemi!
Literally, "It pleases me!". Again, spoken Darynese would possibly leave off pronouns, I used the adult female ones, and I used a casual tense.

"Hello. How are you?"
Yitusreose. Daibeni nyirosera aelonaor?
This one is a bit idomatic. Literally, it translates to "Well wishes! What feeling continues in you?". Again, I used adult female pronouns, and they could be dropped. I also made it a bit more polite than the previous.

Punctuation as in the English.

Also, wow, I talk a lot when I translate.

	"ceitse" is the word for "time" and time plays an important role in the culture of the fictional speakers. The first word is a greeting, that would translate something like "I wish you good time" the following sentence would be something like "Do you stand well in time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)

Lots of you are forgetting that your translation of "I'm loving it" should have four syllables. At least almost all of the existing McDonald's translations have it (only exception I know off-hand is Turkish), so that it fits in with the melody. In this case it is probably more important to keep with this constraint (and possibly the requirement to have the second syllable stressed) than the very literal meaning. The French, for example, says "C'est tout ce que j'aime" ("That's all I love"); without the extra "tout" (all) it would be only three syllables ("c'est ce que j'aime" - that's what I love) or even just two ("je l'aime" - I love it). So much for my conceited babbling :-)

"Shut up! Motherfucker!"

It is literally "colorblind nonhuman, silence yourself!". Colors traditionally had great importance to the language's speakers, so colorblindness was seen as a very bad thing.

wobrô: colorblind (adjective)
rò: you, singular
xìs: reflexive pronoun (accusative)
tùwanoþ: silence, imperative

"I'm loving it"
This could be several things depending on the context of it here. I've taken it to mean McDonalds for this.
màs z̧èjasre
màs: it (accusative)
z̧èjasde: I am loving

"Hello, How are you?"
roblwâş. vè xìt tlǽ bösglènēt
