januario - January

junio - June
julio - July
augusto - August
septembre - September

For English speakers, remember that the names of the months
are not capitalized in Interlingua (except at the beginning
of a sentence, etc.).]]> http://foro.lecorde.com/interlingua/forum_entry.php?id=39 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:34:26 GMT Post by paullecorde, 26.10.2008, 13:29:

Stress in usually on the vowel before the last consonant.
amar (ah-MAHR)
mundial (moon-dee-AHL)
actualitate (ahk-too-ah-lee-TAH-teh)
lectura (lehk-TOO-rah)

If the final 2 letters are vowels, then the next to last vowel is accented.
io = EE-oh
flue = FLOO-eh
die = DEE-eh

The accent does not change when the -s of the plural is added.

If the word ends in any of the following, then stress is on
the second vowel prior to the last consonant.
­le, ­ne, ­re as in facile (FAH-see-leh), nomine (NOH-mee-neh), tempore (TEHM-po-reh)
­ic, ­ica, ­ico as in technic (TEHK-neek), technica (TEHK-nee-kah), technico (TEHK-nee-koh)
­ide, ­ido as in timide (TEE-mee-deh), acido (AH-see-doh)
­ula, ­ulo as in regula (REH-goo-lah) , angulo (AHN-goo-loh)
­ime, ­imo as in ultime (OOL-tee-meh)

Irregular accents are shown in the IED.
philologia (-ía) = {n} philology
gratis (grá-) [L] = {adv} gratis, free (of charge)]]> http://foro.lecorde.com/interlingua/forum_entry.php?id=38 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:29:51 GMT Post by paullecorde, 26.10.2008, 13:24:

Interlingua is a standardization of the languages of the Western World
derived from Latin. It has all the words that English, French, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Russian have IN COMMON and a simple
grammar. If you've studied a Romance language, you should be able to
read Interlingua with little trouble.

If you want to say I, then say io (yo)
If you want to say me, then say me (meh)
If you want to say my, then say mi (mee)
If you want to say mine, then say mie (MEEeh)
If you want to say we, then say nos (nohs)
If you want to say us, then say nos
If you want to say our, then say nostre(NOHS treh)

Notes: If your talking to someone you are on first name terms with you can use tu (too) for you, te (teh) for you (the object), tu for your and tue (TOO-eh) for yours.
If they means women only you illas, and las for them... If they means men and women or just men use illes, and les for them. Otherwise use illos, los for they/ them.
