are (they are) is evaut (revisited)

evautevaut = are (verb "to be/to stay" - they are - 3rd person plural) (some things Google found for "evaut": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name; user names; similarly named EVault Data Protection Software)

Word derivation for "are (they are)(to be/to stay)"
Basque = daute, Finnish = ovat
Miresua = evaut

My previous Miresua conlang word for "they are (to be/to stay)" was aved. I think the new word is a better mix, and it contains similarities to both the Basque word and the Finnish word.

are (you all are) is elaute (revisited)

elauteelaute = are (verb "to be/to stay" - you all are - 2nd person plural) (some things Google found for "elaute": an uncommon to rare term; an unusual last name; user names; similarly named El Aute de Amar is a music album by Adriana Landeros & Carlos Diaz "Caito")

Word derivation for "are (you all are)(to be/to stay)":
Basque = zaudete, Finnish = olette
Miresua = elaute

My previous Miresua word for "are (you all are)(to be/to stay)" was aldote. The new word, instead of having a consonant combination, has a vowel combination, like the Basque word.

are (we are) is elage (revisited)

elageelage = are (verb "to be/to stay" - present tense - we are - 1st person plural) (some things Google found for "elage": an uncommon term; an ususual masculine first name that can be from Senegal, Elage Mbaye and Élage Diouf are Afro-Beat musicians; a rare last name; Rio Èlage is a stream in Guinea-Bissau)

Word derivation for "are (we are)(to be/to stay)":
Basque = gaude, Finnish = olemme
Miresua = elage

My previous Miresua conlang word for "are (we are)(to be/to stay)" was aldome. In the new word I deliberately use the g from the Basque word because "we" in Basque is "gu" and this Basque verb conjugation begins with g. I use the m from the Finnish word in the 1st person plural conjugations of the other verb to be.

is (he/she/it is) is ado (revisited)

adoado = is (verb "to be/to stay" - present tense - he/she/it is - 3rd person singular) (some things Google found for "ado": a very common term; in English ado means "to do; doing; trouble" and is mostly used in set phrases such as "without further ado"; Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy play by William Shakespeare; ADO is an acronym for ActiveX Data Objects; an uncommon masculine first name; an uncommon last name; in French ado is a colloquial term for "teen, teenager" (shortened form of adolescent); name of cities in Nigeria, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Sudan and Afghanistan)

Word derivation for "is (he/she/it is)(to be/to stay)" :
Basque = dago, Finnish = on
Miresua = ado

My previous word for "is (he/she/it is)" was ango. One reason for the change is because neither the Basque word or the Finnish word have a consonant combination.

I know that the other conjugations of this verb start with E. Unfortunately I have no E available in either the Basque or the Finnish word. I decided not to cheat with letters to make this word edo.

My other word for is, from the other verb meaning to be, is oda. Interestingly, that's an anagram of ado. Or ado backwards.

are (you are) is ezte (revisited)

ezteezte = are (verb "to be/to stay" - present tense - you are - 2nd person singular) (some things Google found for "ezte": a common term; D-EZTE Cessna 172 SP and G-EZTE easyJet Airbus A320-214 airplanes; user names; EZTE driving range turf; a rare first name or nickname; a rare last name; similar word este means this in Spanish)

Word derivation for "are (you are) (to be/to stay)" :
Basque = zaude, Finnish = olet
Miresua = ezte

This new word is a major revision. My previous word for "are (you are)" was aldet. My new word looks more Basque, what with that ZT consonant combination, but it's actually an equal mix of letters from the Basque and the Finnish words.

am (I am) is egon (revisited)

egonegon = am (verb "to be/to stay" - present tense - I am - 1st person singular) (some things Google found for "egon": a very common term; a masculine first name which is a variant of the name Eugene, notably Austrian painter Egon Schiele; an uncommon last name; a fictional country in children's novel Under Plum Lake; Mount Egon is a stratovolcano located on the island of Flores in Indonesia; verb meaning "to be/to stay" in Basque; name of cities in Brazil and Equatorial Guinea)

Word derivation for "am (I am)(to be/to stay)":
Basque = nago, Finnish = olen
Miresua = egon

I'm redoing the Miresua verb conjugations for the verb "to be/to stay" in the present tense. This is a do over. I like to think that I know more what I doing with this conlang now. Miresua has two verbs for "to be", like Basque but unlike Finnish and English. Similar to the verbs ser and estar in Spanish.

My previous word for "am (I am)(to be/to stay)" was alon.

Word derivation for "are" (they are) (to exist) :

My previous Miresua word for "are (they are)" was "odva". My new word is somewhat less odd.

There is one conjugation of this verb (to be/to exist) in the present tense that remains the same, that isn't being revised. The word for "is (he/she/it is)" is "oda".

Word derivation for "are" (you all are) (to exist) :

oinoin = am (verb "to be"/"to exist" - I am - 1st person singular) (some things Google found for "oin"; a very common term; OIN is an acronym for Open Invention Network; Oin-Oin is a simpleton character of Swiss folklore; Óin is a dwarf of Norse mythology and is the name of a couple dwarves in J.R.R. Tolkien's writings; means "foot" in Basque; a plural form of the noun "oka" meaning "thorns" in Finnish; Oin (or Oin-dong) is the name of a city in South Korea; name of a town in Galicia)

Word derivation for "am" or "I am" (to exist) :
Basque = nais, Finnish = olen
Miresua = oin

My previous Miresua conlang word for "am" was "onin". I decided to shorten this word by dropping an n. Usually I avoid choosing words that have meanings in both Basque and Finnish.

This post starts a series of revisions of conjugations of an important verb. Yes, I have been working on verbs.

is (he/she/it is) is oda

odaoda = is (verb "to be/to exist" - he/she/it is - 3rd person singular)(some things Google found for "oda": a very common term; Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) was a major daimyo or feudal ruler in Japan; a last name that is likely Japanese; ODA is an acronym for Oregon (and Ohio) Department of Agriculture; ODA stands for Ohio (and Oregon and Ontario) Dental Association; ODA stands for Olympic Delivery Authority for London 2012 Olympics; ODA stands for Office of Degree Authorization; ODA stands for Out-of-Door Academy of Florida; a feminine first name; Saint Oda of Scotland (c.680-c.726) was a Scottish princess who became a holy woman in the Netherlands; Saint Oda or Odo also called the Good or the Severe (died 958) was archbishop of Canterbury; oda means "there, thither, up" in Hungarian; means "ode" in Serbo-Croatian and Spanish; means "room, chamber, apartment" in Turkish; Oda is the name of places in Somalia, Serbia and Montenegro, Ethiopia, Japan, Ghana, Sudan, Turkey, Nigeria, Philippines, Pakistan, and Kenya)

Word derivation for "is (he/she/it is)(to be/to exist)":
Basque = da, Finnish = on
Miresua = oda

For this important word I'm using my seldom used option of making the Miresua word one letter longer than the Basque and the Finnish words. I wanted to have a vowel ending so that my verb would better resemble Finnish conjugations for 3rd person singular in the present tense. Besides, I think that "oda" looks esthetically better than "od".
