Grammar

There are 5 basic rules to lingo:

1. Pronouns and only pronouns are placed at the end of the sentence, and the pronouns must be the topic noun of the sentence. The pronoun is also transformed into its objective case. (ex: “they” turns into “them”, “he" turns into “him”).
2. Lingo can never be properly used in a commanding sentence.
3. Lingo can never be properly used in a open interrogative sentence, such as questions starting with wh-words.
4. Unless a comma is used, there should never be two pronouns pointing at the topic noun.
5. Lingo is not “Yoda talk”.

Below are examples of lingo, converting regular sentences.

• I am going for a walk.

• He is smart

• Go take out the trash.

No possible translation, Lingo cannot be used in a commanding sentence.

• What is that?

No possible translation, Lingo cannot be used in an open interrogative sentence. It can only be used in a closed interrogative sentence where the answer is basically yes or no.

• I went to the store today, and then I hit a car, and the owner came out and started giving me trouble.

Note: For the last sentence, the topic noun (the owner) had to be identified first by referring him as the owner, which is not a pronoun. So the only way to use lingo in that sentence would be to add a comma, so that you may refer to him again in a pronoun sense(which would be the “him” at the end).

For complicated sentences, the pronoun can be placed midway in the sentence as shown below.

• That would be bad if the water level dropped.

However, placing the pronoun midway is harder to read, so the more common way to do this sentence would be to use “face assistance” as shown below.

Chain Lingo

Chain Lingo is taking a word from one sentence and starting another sentence based on that word, typically a brief fact or statement about that word. However, sometimes two or three sentences can be made about one thing. In the end, the last fact or statement is then tied to the first sentence that started it all, in an attempt to prove the last fact applies to the first sentence. Below is a brief example.

This is an example of chain lingo. A chain it. Linked together it. Like linked sausages it. A food item that. Like a banana it. Sorta shaped like boomerangs those. But, can’t be used like a boomerang it. Mishaped it. Outa shape it. Should work out some more it. Would be the buffest banana on the block it. A good goal to aim for that. Therefore, chain lingo = a good goal.

Alternate Lingo

As time has progressed, a couple different strains of lingo have emerged and taken on a life of their own.

Haroldian Lingo

This strain of lingo is spoken by Harolds, consists of 3 basic rules:

1. Broken Lingo: Disobey standard lingo grammar; use lingo in improper commanding sentences.
2. Comma: A comma should be placed before the ending pronoun.
3. Somewhat Proper: Correct punctuation and capitalization is key to successfully pulling off a Haroldian lingo line.

Example: SW Chris: I need to go and finish work in Path4us world, me.

Sevensian Lingo

A relatively new strain of lingo spoken by people who have only the number 7 in their citizen number; consists of 4 basic rules:

1. Severely Broken Lingo: Disobey all standard lingo grammar; use double pronouns where possible.
2. Lowercase: Use no capital letters within the lingo sentence.
3. Laughing: Must include at most 3 (preferably 3) or less of one of the following laughter expressions, surrounding the lingo sentence: "haha" "hahaha" "lol" "lmao" Do not overkill on the laughter. Using no uppercase letters within the laughter is a key point that must always be obeyed.
4. Buckteeth: Throw in a bucktooth smiley (:B or ;B) after one of your laugh expressions. Either standard or winking eyes are acceptable. It is always a good idea to use varying eyes if using Sevensian lingo in large doses, to keep it fresh. It may also be acceptable to toss in a "XD" here n' there.

Example: seVens: hahah lol hi there im going to sw city me haha :B
