Daily Saris Verse: The Gradual Unfolding of Creation
As we delve deeper into the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” today’s verse describes the beginning of change within the void. It wasn’t a sudden or violent shift, but rather a gentle, gradual process—like the first light of dawn gently illuminating a still, silent world.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 8
English: “With this thought, the void began to change. It was not a violent upheaval, but a gradual unfolding, like the first light of dawn breaking over a silent horizon.”
Dolisi: “Eyun zume yo, isinasu bafu hri nulisi. Isunu vunin baforun hakisam, vo vokorotun josininem, sumifefa liferi Fam chita unohrogayu zineru sham pe.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary on Verse 8:
Verse 8 describes the initial impact of Nu’s thought of creation on the void. This verse is significant because it emphasizes the nature of creation as a gentle, deliberate process rather than a chaotic or destructive event. The void, which has until now been a place of stillness and potential, begins to change in response to Nu's first thought.
The phrase "the void began to change" suggests that the very nature of existence is being transformed by Nu's conscious decision to create. This change is not abrupt or forceful, but a "gradual unfolding," indicating that creation is a process that unfolds over time, guided by Nu's intention and thought. The choice of words here emphasizes a sense of care and purpose in the act of creation, reflecting the deliberate nature of Nu’s involvement in shaping the universe.
The metaphor "like the first light of dawn breaking over a silent horizon" is particularly evocative. Dawn is a time of transition, where darkness gradually gives way to light, symbolizing the emergence of clarity, order, and awareness from the primordial void. The use of this metaphor highlights the idea that creation is a process of illumination and revelation, where the hidden potential within Nu’s consciousness slowly comes to light.
For the Saris, this verse reinforces the idea that creation is not born from conflict or violence but from a thoughtful and harmonious process. The gradual nature of this unfolding suggests that Nu's creation is inherently peaceful and balanced, a natural and organic progression from potential to actuality. This perspective contrasts with other creation myths that may depict the universe's birth as a tumultuous or chaotic event, instead portraying the act of creation as a serene and purposeful process.
The imagery of dawn breaking over a silent horizon also conveys a sense of new beginnings and hope. Just as dawn heralds the start of a new day, this moment in the narrative marks the beginning of time and existence. It suggests that creation is a continuous and ongoing process, where new possibilities are constantly being brought into the light, guided by Nu’s wisdom and intention.
In Saris thought, this verse would be seen as a reminder of the importance of patience and deliberation in the creative process. It teaches that true creation is not about sudden or violent changes but about careful, thoughtful unfolding—a principle that could be applied to both the cosmic scale of the universe and the personal lives of the Saris. This verse may also inspire a sense of reverence for the natural order of things, emphasizing the beauty and harmony inherent in the gradual unfolding of the cosmos.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to explore the Saris account of creation, revealing the gradual emergence of existence from the void.

Daily Saris Verse: The Thought of Creation
As we continue our exploration of the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” we reach a significant moment in the Saris creation story. Today’s verse reveals the first thought of creation—a thought not born from need, but from the desire to explore the infinite possibilities within Nu’s boundless consciousness.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 7
English: “And from this ripple, a thought arose—a thought of creation. Not a creation to fill a void, for Nu was complete in itself, but a creation to explore the depths of possibility, to bring forth that which had never been.”
Dolisi: “A ishereti zume va, isiyonelu eyun—nesun eyun mu. Igu hri vunin nesun nulis, bowas Isuni ajuhrosam Nu Li ga, vo chahridaru hri nesun omu tsusheri mu, simaru hri zu ko hronesunu vunumin.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary on Verse 7:
Verse 7 marks the emergence of the first conscious thought within Nu, specifically a "thought of creation." This verse is significant because it introduces the concept that creation is not born out of necessity or lack, but out of a desire to explore the infinite potential within Nu’s consciousness.
The "ripple" mentioned in the previous verse now gives rise to a distinct thought—a conscious decision by Nu to begin the process of creation. This thought is pivotal because it represents the first instance of intention within Nu’s vast consciousness. It is the moment when the boundless possibilities within Nu start to take shape as distinct ideas, setting the stage for the unfolding of the universe.
The verse carefully distinguishes this creation from the idea of filling a void. The phrase "for Nu was complete in itself" emphasizes that Nu did not create out of need or deficiency. Unlike many creation myths where the act of creation is driven by a need to fill an emptiness or address a lack, here, Nu’s creation is an act of pure volition. It reflects the idea that Nu, in its infinite completeness, seeks to explore and express the possibilities within its own being.
This "thought of creation" is thus an expression of Nu's desire to "explore the depths of possibility." This phrase underscores the vastness of Nu’s potential, suggesting that even though Nu is all-encompassing, the act of creation allows it to manifest and experience aspects of its own consciousness in new and diverse forms. The goal of creation is not to fulfill a need, but to bring forth "that which had never been"—to manifest the unmanifested, to realize the potential within the infinite mind of Nu.
For the Saris, this verse is crucial in understanding the nature of the universe as an intentional and voluntary act of creation by Nu. It teaches that creation is a deliberate exploration of potential, an ongoing process driven by the desire to bring forth new realities. This perspective reinforces the Saris' view of the universe as fundamentally good, born from the intentional and thoughtful act of a complete and benevolent creator.
Moreover, this verse highlights the concept of creativity as a divine attribute. In Saris thought, the act of creation is not merely a mechanical process but a deeply meaningful expression of the divine will. It suggests that the purpose of existence is tied to the exploration and realization of potential, both on a cosmic scale and within individuals, who may see themselves as participants in this ongoing creative process.
This idea of creation as an exploration of possibility also serves as a philosophical foundation for the Saris' approach to life. It encourages a mindset of openness, curiosity, and creativity, aligning with the belief that existence itself is a canvas for the expression of potential—a belief that is reflected in the Saris’ cultural, spiritual, and intellectual pursuits.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to uncover the unfolding of creation in the Saris tradition, one verse at a time.

Mastering Dolisi Sentence Words: Why Say It in a Sentence When One Word Will Do?
Welcome back, fellow Dolisi enthusiasts!
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why use a whole sentence when one word can do the job?” then you’re going to love today’s topic. Dolisi is all about efficiency—well, that and sounding incredibly mysterious. And what better way to achieve both than by packing an entire sentence into a single word? That’s right, in Dolisi, you can express a full idea with just one word, thanks to a nifty little trick where the subject, verb, and even those pesky auxiliary or modal verbs all cozy up together.
The Magic of Suffixes and Prefixes
Let’s break it down, shall we? Here’s how it works:
Suffixes: In Dolisi, the subject of a sentence isn’t just hanging out in front of the verb like in English. Oh no. It’s actually tacked onto the end of the verb as a suffix. This means that instead of saying, “She runs,” you’d have something more like “Run-she” all rolled up into one tidy package.
Prefixes: But that’s not all! If you’ve got auxiliary verbs or modal verbs—those little helpers that tell us whether something is possible, necessary, or happening right now—they get slapped onto the front of the verb as a prefix. So, instead of “She can run,” you get something like “Can-run-she” (all in one word, of course).
Example Time: Let’s See It in Action
Let’s take a simple English sentence: “She will eat.”
In Dolisi, we’d start with the verb for “eat,” then add a prefix to indicate “will” (future tense), and finally, a suffix to indicate the subject “she.” The result? A single, elegant word that says it all.
Eat: “Nam”
Future (will): “So-”
Subject (she): “-i”
Put it all together, and you get: “Sonami”.
So, what could’ve been three separate words in English becomes one beautifully compact word in Dolisi. It’s like sentence-reduction surgery, and your sentences just got a whole lot leaner!
Why Is This So Cool?
Efficiency: Less is more, especially when you can say everything you need in a single breath. Perfect for when you’re casting spells, barking orders, or just really in a hurry.
Mysterious Appeal: Let’s be honest—who doesn’t want to sound like they’re speaking in riddles or ancient incantations? Using sentence words adds that extra layer of mystique to your conversations.
Brain Workout: Sure, it takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll feel like a linguistic wizard, effortlessly blending words together like some kind of verbal alchemist.
Wrapping It Up
So there you have it—the magical world of Dolisi sentence words. Who needs full sentences when you can pack all that meaning into one? It’s just one of the many ways Dolisi keeps things interesting, efficient, and just a little bit mysterious.
Stay tuned for more Dolisi insights, and don’t forget to comment with your suggestions for future topics!

Daily Saris Verse: The First Perception of Change
As we continue our exploration of the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” we reach a critical moment in the Saris creation story. Today’s verse reveals the very first instance of perception and change within the infinite consciousness of Nu, marking the beginning of movement in the stillness.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 6
English: “Nu, in its infinite depth, began to perceive this ripple, this hint of change. It was the first distinction, the first movement in the endless stillness.”
Dolisi: “Isinasi Nu, Lin tsusher mashul ga, Seni hri ishereti zume, bafun vamuti zume mu. Isunu betayuyi Fam, somuni Fam bukuyi mashul ga.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary on Verse 6:
Verse 6 describes a crucial moment in the narrative, where Nu, in its "tsusher mashul" or "infinite depth," becomes aware of the subtle stir within its consciousness—the "ishereti" or "ripple" that signifies the beginning of creation. This verse emphasizes the profound nature of this initial movement, marking it as the "betayuyi Fam" or "first distinction" and the "somuni Fam" or "first movement" in what was previously a state of "endless stillness."
The phrase "tsusher mashul" or "infinite depth" highlights the boundless nature of Nu's consciousness, suggesting that Nu’s awareness encompasses all possibilities, knowledge, and potential. It portrays Nu as an entity of unfathomable complexity and profundity, capable of perceiving even the subtlest changes within itself. This awareness is not passive but active, as Nu begins to consciously engage with the emerging ripple—the first indication of change within the void.
The "ishereti" or "ripple" symbolizes the initial disturbance in the otherwise undifferentiated and unified state of Nu’s existence. It is a metaphor for the first spark of creation, the beginning of differentiation that will eventually lead to the formation of distinct elements and the unfolding of the universe. This ripple is the precursor to all that will follow, representing the emergence of possibility and the transition from pure potential to actualization.
The terms "betayuyi Fam" or "first distinction" and "somuni Fam" or "first movement" are significant because they mark the departure from a state of perfect stillness and unity. Before this moment, all of Nu’s consciousness was undivided, with no separation between thoughts, emotions, or potential forms. The recognition of this ripple introduces the concept of distinction—where one part of Nu's consciousness begins to differentiate from the whole. This is the beginning of all dualities and distinctions that will later define the universe: light and dark, order and chaos, creation and destruction.
For the Saris, this verse is foundational in understanding the nature of creation as a deliberate and conscious process. It teaches that even the smallest stirrings within the divine consciousness can lead to profound change and that the universe itself began with a single, subtle ripple in the infinite stillness of Nu. The verse also emphasizes the importance of awareness and perception in the act of creation, suggesting that the universe is not the result of random forces but of a mindful and intentional act by Nu.
This idea of the "somuni Fam" or "first movement" also ties into the Saris' belief in the significance of beginnings and the power of small, intentional actions to bring about great change. It reinforces the notion that everything in existence, no matter how vast or complex, originates from a single, purposeful moment of awareness.
Join us tomorrow as we delve deeper into the Saris understanding of creation, with each verse revealing more of the mysteries of the universe.

Daily Saris Verse: The First Moment of Awakening
Continuing our journey through the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” we arrive at a pivotal moment in the Sarisicreation narrative. Today’s verse marks the very first stirring of something beyond the void, the initial flicker that would eventually lead to the creation of everything we know.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 5
English: “This was the first moment of awakening, the first flicker of something more.”
Dolisi: “Isunu zume pelomun suzho Fam mu, beyon toram lifoni Fam mu.”
Dolisi Script:
(Apologies for the poor image quality and way too big size. This will be fixed tomorrow) Commentary on Verse 5:
Verse 5: "This was the first moment of awakening, the first flicker of something more."
Commentary:
Verse 5 marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, describing the "pelomun suzho Fam mu" or "first moment of awakening" within Nu. This awakening signifies the transition from a state of pure, undifferentiated consciousness to one where the potential for creation begins to unfold. The "beyon toram lifoni Fam mu" or "first flicker of something more" introduces the idea that this moment is the genesis of all future existence—the point at which Nu moves from being a passive, all-encompassing consciousness to an active creator.
The term "pelomun" or "awakening" suggests a shift in Nu’s state of being, from a dormant awareness to an engaged and dynamic presence. It implies that until this moment, Nu was in a state of serene stillness, where all possibilities were latent but unrealized. The awakening is not just the beginning of creation but the beginning of Nu’s conscious involvement in the act of creation. This shift is both subtle and profound, as it sets the stage for everything that follows in the narrative.
The phrase "beyon toram lifoni mu" or "flicker of something more" is rich with meaning. A flicker is a brief, fleeting movement, yet it signals the start of a larger process. It represents the initial spark that ignites the vast and complex process of creation. This flicker symbolizes the birth of intention within Nu, the first indication that the boundless potential within its consciousness will soon take form and substance.
For the Saris, this verse holds deep significance. It conveys that all of creation began with a conscious choice—a deliberate awakening within Nu that brought forth the possibility of existence. This moment of awakening is seen as sacred, marking the transition from the infinite stillness of pre-creation to the dynamic unfolding of the universe. The Saris would view this verse as a profound reminder that all reality stems from a deliberate and thoughtful act of creation, rooted in the divine consciousness of Nu.
The verse also highlights the importance of beginnings in Saris thought. It teaches that even the grandest of realities can start with the smallest of movements—a flicker of thought, a moment of awakening. This idea reinforces the Saris’ reverence for the power of intention and the belief that within every beginning lies the potential for infinite creation.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to explore the unfolding of the Saris creation story, one verse at a time.

Daily Saris Verse: The Eternal Awareness and the Stir of Possibility
I missed yesterday’s verse, so today we’re catching up with two verses from the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” the first chapter of the “Nesun Ajupeyawi mu” or “Pillar of Creation.” These verses continue to explore the state of Nu before the act of creation began, and the first subtle stirrings that would eventually lead to the birth of the universe. Another update is that I have moved to writing the Dolisi script versions by hand as that is much less time consuming than doing it digitally.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 3
English: “For eons beyond measure, Nu remained in this state of pure awareness, where nothing was separate, nothing was distinct.”
Dolisi: “Sumor sumitun somu so, Isimeli Nu senu waziram unis mu, isunu zhotin ejem nulun, isunu chivunam nulun.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary on Verse 3:
This verse emphasizes the timelessness and unity of Nu's existence before the act of creation. The phrase "Sumor sumitun somu so" or "For eons beyond measure" suggests a duration so vast that it defies human comprehension, highlighting the eternal nature of Nu. In this immeasurable span, Nu existed in a state of "senu waziram" or "pure awareness," where consciousness was all-encompassing and undivided.
The key idea in this verse is the absence of separation and distinction. Within Nu's boundless consciousness, everything existed as one unified whole, with no differentiation between thoughts, emotions, or potential creations. This unity reflects the concept that before the act of creation, there was no need for distinction because all possibilities were contained within Nu as a singular, all-encompassing entity.
For the Saris, this verse underscores the profound concept of oneness as the original state of existence. It teaches that all things—time, space, matter, and even thought—were initially part of a unified whole within Nu. This state of pure awareness and unity is a foundational idea in Saris theology, emphasizing that all differentiation and multiplicity in the universe originate from a single divine source.
The verse also implies that the act of creation is a movement away from this original unity, introducing differentiation and distinction into the cosmos. Yet, it is important to note that this differentiation does not diminish the fundamental unity of all things. Instead, it is a necessary process for the unfolding of reality, allowing the infinite potential within Nu to be expressed in various forms and manifestations.
Verse 4
English: “But within this boundless existence, a stir began, subtle and profound. It was not a stir of need or desire, but a stir of possibility—a gentle ripple in the endless sea of thought.”
Dolisi: “Vo unun torashul zume ga, isinasu somelomun, ziyemam a rinorum. Isunu vunin kayu de levu somelomun mu, vo omu somelomun mu— ishereti buvalam isis wotsuyi mashul mu ga.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary on Verse 4:
Verse 4 introduces the first hint of movement within the otherwise still and unified consciousness of Nu. The "somelomun" or "stir" mentioned here is described as "ziyemam a rinorum" or "subtle and profound," indicating that it is a delicate yet significant change in the state of Nu's awareness. This stir is not driven by need or desire, as Nu is complete and lacks nothing. Instead, it is a stir of "possibility," signaling the beginning of creation as an expression of potential rather than a response to any deficiency.
The imagery of a "gentle ripple in the endless sea of thought" beautifully captures the nature of this initial movement. It suggests that the first act of creation was not an abrupt or violent event but a soft and natural unfolding, much like a ripple spreading across a calm body of water. This ripple represents the first differentiation within Nu's consciousness, the initial spark that would lead to the manifestation of the universe.
For the Saris, this verse is crucial in understanding the nature of creation. It conveys that the universe was not created out of necessity or compulsion but as a deliberate and thoughtful act by Nu, driven by the exploration of potential. The subtlety of the stir emphasizes that creation begins with a gentle shift in awareness, a gradual awakening to the possibilities within the vast expanse of Nu’s consciousness.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to uncover the story of creation from the Saris perspective, verse by verse.

Daily Saris Verse: The Stillness Before Creation
Welcome back to our daily exploration of the Saris religious texts. Yesterday, we began our journey through the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening,” the first chapter of the “Nesun Ajupeyawi mu” or “Pillar of Creation.” Today, we continue with the second verse, which delves deeper into the nature of Nu before creation began.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 2
English: “Nu was all that was, all that ever could be, yet in its essence, there was only stillness, a vast ocean of thought untroubled by movement or change.”
Dolisi: “Isuni avam Nu muva isunu, avam muva kununu sumohin, vo Lin mas ga, isunu kunin torashin buku, isis wotsu watoram mu somun de bafun vogogam yoni.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary:
This verse deepens the understanding of Nu's existence before creation, emphasizing its totality and completeness. The phrase "Isuni avam Nu muva isunu, avam muva kununu sumohin" or "Nu was all that was, all that ever could be" reinforces the idea that Nu encompasses the entirety of existence and potential. Everything that could ever come into being already existed within Nu’s boundless consciousness, though not yet in any distinct or manifest form.
The concept of "buku" or "stillness" and the description of Nu as "isis wotsu watoram mu somun de bafun vogogam yoni" or "a vast ocean of thought untroubled by movement or change" highlight the state of pure potential before creation. This stillness is not emptiness but a profound, undisturbed state of being where all possibilities exist simultaneously within Nu's consciousness. It is a state without differentiation, where nothing has yet emerged to disrupt the unity of Nu’s essence.
For the Saris, this verse conveys the idea of pre-creation as a state of perfect unity and potential, where all things were held within Nu, not as separate entities but as possibilities yet to be expressed. The ocean metaphor suggests depth, vastness, and the capacity for limitless creation, while the absence of movement or change indicates that at this stage, all potential was latent and undifferentiated.
This verse also introduces the idea that creation begins with a disruption of this stillness—a movement from unity to multiplicity, from potential to actuality. The stillness is significant because it underscores the deliberate nature of creation. Nu's awakening and the subsequent unfolding of reality are not random or chaotic but the result of a profound and intentional stirring within the ocean of thought.
In Saris thought, this verse serves as a reminder of the origin of all things in the undifferentiated potential of Nu. It teaches that before anything existed in form or substance, it was already present in the consciousness of Nu, waiting to be brought into being. This idea underpins the Saris' understanding of the universe as fundamentally interconnected and rooted in a single, divine source.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to explore the “Pelomuni” and witness the first stirrings of creation.

Daily Saris Verse: The Beginning of All Things
Welcome to the first entry in our daily exploration of the Saris religious texts. Starting today, we’ll be revealing the ancient beliefs of the Saris, one verse at a time, straight from their foundational scripture—the “Nesun Ajupeyawi mu” or “Pillar of Creation.” This sacred text begins with the story of creation itself, known as the “Pelomuni” or “The Awakening.” As we journey through these verses, we’ll uncover the Saris understanding of the universe, creation, and the divine nature of their god, Nu.
Chapter 1: Pelomuni (The Awakening)
Verse 1
English: “Before existence, there was only Nu, existing in the infinite void, a boundless consciousness without form, without substance, without time.”
Dolisi: “Unun ra, Isuni kunin torashin Nu, muva Isijosuni nulis mashul ga, senu torashul sherer nula, unerer nula, sum nula.”
Dolisi Script:
Commentary: The Boundless Consciousness of Nu
This verse introduces the concept of Nu as the primal and solitary being before the creation of anything else. Nu is depicted as an entity of pure consciousness, existing in a state beyond physical form, material substance, or temporal constraints. The "nulis mashul" or "infinite void" represents the absolute emptiness and potential that existed before creation, a space where nothing yet existed but the boundless potential within Nu itself.
The phrase "senu torashul" or "a boundless consciousness" emphasizes Nu’s nature as an all-encompassing mind, suggesting that Nu is not just the creator but the very source of thought, existence, and reality. The absence of form, substance, and time signifies that Nu transcends all dimensions and physical laws that would later come into being. This state of pure being reflects a philosophical and theological assertion that all things originate from a singular, unified consciousness, which holds within it the potential for all creation.
For the Saris, this verse is crucial because it establishes the primacy and omnipotence of Nu. It conveys the idea that before anything was created—before time, matter, or space—there was Nu, the eternal source from which all things emerge. This understanding forms the basis for the Saris' reverence for Nu as the ultimate origin and sustainer of all existence, a being whose nature is both mysterious and all-encompassing.
Fun Fact: The Sarisi inscribed their oldest texts on pillars in temples called “Ajupeyaw” or “sacred pillar”? The name comes from “ajupel” (cylinder) and “yaw” (to sanctify). These pillars were not just physical structures, but symbolic ones—representing the enduring nature of their beliefs.
Join us tomorrow as we continue to explore the “Pelomuni” and uncover more about the creation of the universe according to the Saris.

How to Impress Your Friends: Dolisi's Coolest Words and Phrases
Greetings, fellow word wizards!
You've returned for more Dolisi, which means you're either incredibly brave or just relly into ancient, mildly terrifying languages. Either way, today we're equipping you with some of the coolest words and phrases that the Saris ever conjured up. Whether you're looking to sound wise, impress your friends, or just drop a linguistic bombshell at your next fantasy book club, these words are exactly what you need. Let's dive in!
"Vamudolisav" (Meaning: Collection of Writing)
First up, let's look at "Vamudolisav," a word that's basically a bookshelf, library, and ancient archive all rolled into one. In Dolisi, "Vamudolisav" doesn't just mean "book." Oh no, it's much more than that. Whether you're talking about a dusty old scroll that holds the secrets of the universe, a massive manuscript bound in dragonhide, or just your everyday magical grimoire, "Vamudolisav" has you covered.
Now let's break this beauty down:
"Vam": This little syllable is the root. The glue that starts binding everything together. It gives the word its foundation. On its own it means "to mark." And its a word closely associated with writing in Saris culture as the ancient language was originally carved into stone. "u": Next we add "u". Now this syllable can be tricky because it carries many different meanings depending on what kind of word it is added to and where in the word it sits. Placed at the end of a verb like in this case it turns it into a noun with some abstract meaning. So "Vamu" means something like mark, sign, symbol or indicator. "dol": next we add "dol" which is the root for speaking. (You might notice it is the root of Dolisi as well). So this again shifts the meaning, leaving us with "Vamudol". Translating to something like letter, character or symbol. Or more literally a "speech marker". "is" Add "is" to give your word a conceptual meaning. And what is a concept related to marking speech? That's right! Writing! "Vamudolis" can also be translated as text, inscription or something similar to that. "av" and finally, we cap it off with "av". Which wraps the whole thing up in a neat little bow. "av" is actually also a root, and this one means to join or connect something. Which leaves us with "Vamudolisav". A book! Or any other type of collection of writing. 2. "Speak wisely, or face the consequences."
Now, for a phrase that the Saris probably muttered under their breath every time someone did something foolish: "It's the Saris way of saying, "Think before you act," but with a lot more drama and potential doom. Perfect for those moments when someone's about to do something ridiculous and you just want to sound both wise and slightly menacing.
In Dolisi: "Avudola sulin, ba nirutina yoninevikik."
A direct translation of this sentence would sound something like this: "You should speak in a wise manner, or you shall meet the later happenings." Yup, Dolisi is extra alright. The phrase deals with somewhat complicated grammar that we will dive into in later posts, so until then you can enjoy it without having to worry about that. And make sure to use it the next time your friend is about to order the spiciest dish on the menu. 3. "Amem" (Meaning: Pleasing, Delightful, Beautiful)
Lastly, we have the word "Amem," a versatile little gem that the Saris used to sprinkle a bit of charm wherever they went. In Dolisi, "Amem" is your go-to word when you want to describe something that's pleasing, delightful, or downright beautiful. It's basically the Sarisi version of giving something a five-star review.
Let's take a closer look at how this word can work its magic in different contexts:
"Pleasing": Got a meal that's just hit the spot? That's "Amem." Whether it's a perfectly seasoned roast or a spell went off without a hitch, if it's satisfying, "Amem" is the word you are looking for. It's the Saris way of a contended sigh after a job well done. "Delightful": Found a hidden grove filled with glowing flowers? "Amem!" This isn't just about looking good- It's about that extra bit of delight that makes something stand out. The kind of thing that brings a smile to your face, whether it's the soft glow of moonlight on a quiet night or the perfect cup of brew. "Beautiful": And when something's truly stunning, like a sunset over a dark sea, or an intricately woven tapestry, you've got yourself something "Amem." It's the kind of beauty that takes your breath away, the sort that leaves you marvelling at the wonders of the world (or maybe just the wonders of your own brilliance).
And there you have it...
Three examples of Dolisi's finest that will make you sound like a Saris master. Whether you're impressing friends, spicing up a conversation, or just trying to sound like you know ancient secrets, these words have got your back. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Or at least the responsibility to use these words wisely.
What's next?
In our next adventure we'll be diving into the Saris art of creating super dense words that more meaning than your average conversation. Ready to expand your Dolisi vocabulary even further? Stay tuned! Until then, stay magical!

Welcome to the mystical world of Dolisi - The language that literally casts spells. Well, well, well, look who stumbled upon the ancient tongue of the Saris! Congratulations! You've just unlocked the secrets of Dolisi, the language that once echoed through the halls of the most powerful magical empire ever to conquer the world. The Saris weren't just your average ancient civilisation. They were the ultimate overachievers, harnessing the power of magic through their language. And guess what? Now you get to join the ranks of these word wizards. Dolisi: A language so old, it probably invented time.
Dolisi isn't just any old language; it is THE oldest language in its world, spoken by people who thought regular words were too basic. So, they went ahead and created a script so intricate that it looks like abstract art (seriously, check out the image below). Every symbol is a masterpiece, designed to guide your tongue into the perfect pronunciation. Because in Dolisi, mispronunciation might just turn your coffee into a toad.
Get ready to speak in sentences... Or just one word. Dolisi is what linguists call "agglutinative," which is a fancy way of saying that the language likes to play word Tetris. You can stack syllables together to create words that are longer than your grocery list but packed with so much meaning that you'll feel like a linguistic superhero. Imagine saying "I'm going to be sick" in just one word. That's Dolisi for you. Efficient and a bit showy. Your first step into the world of Dolisi. To kick off your journey, here's a simple phrase in Dolisi that's both useful and gives you a taste of its magical flair: "Usime liferi" Translation: "I bring the light." Now, whether you're trying to light up a room or just impress your friends with your newfound magical prowess, this phrase is a must-know. In true Dolisi fashion, the verb comes first. The Saris were all about action and their language reflects this. And just like previously mentioned the words function like lego. Each verb consists of three core bricks, or "phonemes" as the smarties call them. Starting with the start we have the prefix "U-". Dolisi prefixes indicate when and how something happens, and how you feel about it. Kinda like whether you're late, binge-watching, or just demanding pizza. In the case of "Usime" it is the "u" that is the prefix. And in the case of "U" it tells you that it is a straight forward statement about what's happening right now. Like saying, "I eat pizza," without any drama, suspense, or extra toppings. Now for the middle part. Which is also the most important. It is called the "root" and is the part which tells you the core meaning of the word. In this case "sim" means to bring something. The end part of the verb is the "suffix". And in Dolisi, the suffix of a verb tells you something about the "grammatical person". It is basically a way of deciding who's talking, who's being talked to, and who is being talked about. Essentially, it's the difference between "I," "you," and "that guy over there." In this case the "-e" at the end tells you it is "I" who is talking. Now the noun is a bit simpler. It also has a root. In this case it appears at the start of the noun: "Lif". If you see anything with "lif" in it, you know it has something to do with light. The "-er" simply tells yoy that it is a concrete thing. And the final "-i" let's you know that it is "definite". The exact same thing as putting "the" in front of a word in English. Now I know that was a lot so I'll end the linguistics lesson here for now. But why should you stick around? Well firstly you've made it this far into my ramblings so something must have caught your eye. And secondly, because who wouldn't want to learn a language that's practically a spellbook? In the posts to come, we'll dive into the mysteries of Dolisi, unravel its complex grammar (don't worry, we'll make it fun), and explore the culture of the Saris. Whether you are a conlang enthusiast, a fan of ancient magic, or just someone who loves a good linguistic challenge, there's something here for you. Join the magical fun! Don't let this be your last stop! Follow this blog for regular updates, drop a comment with your thoughts, or let me know if there is anything special you would like me to cover. The Saris might have conquered the world, but you can conquer their language. One epic word at a time.
