Atlas language

So... another post in the Atlas blog! They have been promised for a long time, but finally, here they are: countries in Atlas! You will find a list below, containing 47 country names. Yes, not all of them are included, but they will be coming sooner than later. As you will be able to see, countries have an -e ending (abstract), in opposition to cities, that have a -u ending (Barsalonu, Novi-Iorku, Moskbu, Tokiu...).

So here we are again. This has been hot topic in various forums, and had a couple of questions about it via e-mail too, so let's do a post about it. Why not? First of all, what is aspect? Basically it indicates how an event spands over time. I am eating - I ate - I have eaten - I eat - ... There are many different kinds of aspect: - imperfective - perfective - pefect - aorist - prospective - ... Many languages have aspect as one of their features. Some do it via interfixes or suffixes (Spanish for instance), via particles (Chinese), or adverbs (Indonesian). Out of the aspects listed above (and many more), different languages use different aspects, and even if they use the same one, they can have different views on it. So take for instance the perfect aspect in Spanish and in English: - I have finished - Yo he acabado/acabé Some dialects in Spanish use the equivalent to the English ones, while others would use the perfective ("acabé") for the same situation.

Hello again! Short post today. I just wanted to show you a magnificent tool created by user "Crush" in the language learner's forum... https://www.memrise.com/course/1625505/524-atlas-roots/ A course on Atlas words! It includes pronunciation, and you can actually practice words by its language of origin, which is good too. It is an incredible tool for Atlas, and very interesting and entertaining I have to say. I hope you enjoy!!
