Words are formed from syllables of consonant plus vowel. The normal English
alphabet is used, but vowels have only one sound, and some consonants have
different sounds (c as ch, x as sh).
Here are some examples of phrases in Esata:
hubiyu who are you?
wobixi where is she?
wayuti what do you think?
bidara is that right?
hobihiko how is he coming?
weyovisa when will I know?
bihenute Is it now time?
wixuhatidafoda We should have thought of that
zekujabini They could already be in
yonotavegu I don't talk very good
feyunosanose If you don't know, don't say
wikegotodexa We can go to the shop
yodekanorenu My car isn't working now.
Where possible, the short form of English is used. When a word
from another language is more concise, it is usually preferred. Approximately
half of the vocabulary of Esata is from foreign sources, making the language
very international.
A special feature of Esata is the use of 'phrase words', which are contractions
of several one syllable words into a short form. Using a prefix syllable, which
serves as a language qualifier, up to 100 different language origens can be
defined, each with an associated list of 10,000 phrase words, so in principle up
to one million phrase words from foreign dialects. Longer phrase words based on
the two syllable Esata words allow for definition of several million other
special purpose expressions, many of which can replace conventional vocabulary.
In the examples below, the prefix 'e' indicates English
emixo middle of the show - intermission
egoge go get - fetch
emunu must now - urgent
ejasi already see - deja vu
epama past mother - grandmother
epoci power drink - alcohol
efasi far see - telescope
esuhu some who - someone
emalu man place - eg. men's club
ewobi where be - location
ebagu bad good - pro and contra
ehogo how go - means of transport
ekuko could come - might happen
etiso think some - reflect

suitable English word with a similar sound was found, and so a foreign source
word was adopted.
