Basic Venusian, For Native Speakers of Mars

It's not really another language,
just a dialect rich with inflections
that makes the subtlety of Japanese
mere child's play in comparison.

Native speakers of venusian
do not expect you to require a translation,
and just assume when you attempt to speak
that you know what they mean.

I want you.
In Martian means just that.
The rough translation in Venusian:
"Oh you GODDESS---come love me
before I die without your touch."

I love you.
In Martian, means the same.
In Venusian ( when heard from a native speaker of mars)it can mean one of several things:

Be my eternal love
or
No one else on the planet is as wonderful!
or
Boy you talk a lot
or
Yes, I know I screwed up. I didn't know she was your sister.


"Yes...Amy is very nice"

In Martian means:

"Do You think she was flirting?"

In Venusian means:

"That painted trollop. Is she gives you just one more melting simpering look, I will rip out her hair by the dyed roots..."

Of course, it should be noted that native born speakers of Venus all speak their mother tongue a little differently.

Inflection, tense, body language, and lunar phase must all be taken into consideration.

Maybe you should start with something less challenging---
say Russian?
