Here is a conversation between an Álukoi & a human exploring the far north.

* For maximum authenticity, have a snack and a beer when practicing it! *

 

Álukoi: Greetings, far traveler!

Shalrómen, tragía-jin!

Human: Hello, good Dragon. Where am I?

Akúa, góbo Tarkóng. Vyer éom?

Álukoi:  You’re lost.

Tum lotzé.

Human: I need directions.

Íye nési vyérchungs.

Álukoi: See the sun’s position?

Zar pozíchung sol-zín?

Human: About noon. How does that help?

Atóbe hápsol. Ihú das válta?

Álukoi: Always a perfect time for a snack!  Dálembre témbre korshón pyar nóshul!

Human: Thank you, but I really am lost.

Gánsi, áper éom verzaví lotzé.

 

Álukoi: You’re welcome. Stop being lost.

Tum bélkam. Pósok virónda lotzé.

Human: How? Where are we?

Ihú? Vyer vir úli?

 

Álukoi: Here, just in time for a fine snack.

Móni, lóme témbre pyar góbo nóshul.

Human: Right. Where exactly is here?

Álukoi: Have you ever seen more beautiful mountains, woods, lakes and rivers?
Háveb zar tum moténs, borshónen, lars, yi zárongs móser shónfols?

Human: No. What do you call this place?
Nok. Vya nim dis salénpa?

 

Álukoi: Home. Welcome to my mountain.  Welcome to the Stonelaw.
Hazél. Bélkam tu motón iyézin. Bélkam tu Zoténdok.

Human: I’d better find my way back home.  
Íye mus fída roné bek hazél.

Álukoi: First you need a fine, generous snack for perspective.
Yó-sheng nési góbo nóshul pyar perótofim.

Human: What kind of perspective?

Álukoi: Ale, stories and joy to go with our grandest, finest, generous snack!

Álukoi: Yes! May you always have such fine, generous snacks and adventures!
Han! Kámur tum háveb dálembre zuch góbo nóshuls yi árgosangs!

Human: Thank you again, but I still just need directions.

Álukoi: Only after a proper lunch. That’s Highland Hospitality.
