ENGLISH-INTERLINGUA: A BASIC VOCABULARYThis list has been issued to serve new users of Interlingua who need a basic English-Interlingua vocabulary. Although it has only just over 2000 entries, they represent the most frequently employed meanings of the most commonly used words, the corevocabulary of the English language. The Interlingua translations help beginners by deliberately omitting unwanted synonyms and are based on current usage both in Interlingua and its control languages.
Abbreviations and grammatical notes are kept to a minimum. When an English word has just one common meaning it appears in bold letters and its Inter-lingua equivalent in normal letters, e.g. aeroplane avion. If it has one meaning but we have given more than one possible Interlingua equivalent, these are separated bya comma, e.g. ugly fede, repulsive. If the Interlingua words are not in alphabetical order, the first is the more commonly used. If the English word has two or more different meanings, each with a separate Interlingua translation, they are separated by a semicolon and clues to the meanings, unless obviously superfluous, are given within curved brackets. An example is trunk (of tree) trunco; (= box) coffro.
Many English words are capable of use in more than one grammatical category. For instance, milk can be an attributive noun in milkman, a noun in a bottle of milk, and a verb in can I milk the cow? In this vocabulary such uses are separated by the semicolon and preceded by a grammatical abbreviation, in Italic: a means adjective or attributive noun, n means noun, v = verb, adv = adverb, conj = conjunction, int = interjection (=exclamation), prep = preposition and pron = pro-noun. Not all adverbs are given as so many of them can be made from adjectives by addition of the suffix -mente, e.g. since free is “libere”, then freely will be “libere-mente”. Verbs constitute a special case as some are transitive (marked vt), others intransitive (marked vi) or can be either (marked vt/vi). The categories are not marked if the English and the Interlingua verbs are both transitive or both intransi-tive. A few examples will clarify the method. There is no mark for happen because happen and its Interlingua equivalent “evenir” are both intransitive (= do not take an object): you cannot “happen” anything: Similarly kick has no mark because both it and “calcar” always take an object and are therefore transitive. Then look at grow.If you feed a boy he will grow (intransitive = crescer); roses grow (intransitive = vegetar); but to grow carrots uses grow in a transitive sense (object: carrots) and the translation for this is “cultivar”. Often, when an English verb can be used either transitively or intransitively, Interlingua uses the reflexive for the English intransitive. This is indicated in the vocabulary by se in curved brackets, e.g. melt funder (se). This simply means the same as meet vt funder; vi funder se, so that wemelt the wax is “nos funde le cera”, but the wax melts is “le cera se funde”. Simi-larly, Tom meets Dick = “Tom incontra Dick”, but Tom and Dick meet = “Tom e Dick se incontra”.
Care should be taken to distinguish the English word used as adverb, con-junction and preposition. Adverbs answer the question how, where, and when; con-junctions link phrases, and prepositions govern nouns and pronouns. For instance, he came before uses before as an adverb (translate using antea). He stands before me uses it as a preposition (translate by ante) and He died before I was born uses it as a conjunction (translate ante que).
In sub-headings the main English word is not repeated but replaced with a ~. An asterisk indicates a word not included in the Interlingua-English Dictionary
3
but correctly extracted from the control languages by the official rules for the forma-tion of vocabulary. Feminine designations ending in “-a” are omitted, as they can be formed by substitution from the masculine and general forms ending in “-o”, e.g. “italiano/italiana”.

SUMMARY OF INTERLINGUA GRAMMAR
Articles – The definite article is always le (for singular and plural) and the indefinite article is always un.
Nouns – As in English, nouns have no grammatical gender. Nouns ending in a vowel take -s in the plural and nouns ending in a consonant take -es.
Pronouns – The natural gender determines the form of the third person singular and plural pronouns, ille(s) for males, illa(s) for females and illo(s) for things.
Subject io tu ille illa illo nos vos illes illas illosObject me te le la lo nos vos les las losReflexive me te se se se nos vos se se se(Adjective mi tu su su su nostre vostre lor lor lor)
Note: Prepositions take the object case of personal pronouns in the first and second persons and the subject case in the third person.
Adjectives – Adjectives are invariable and usually follow the noun.
Adverbs – The adverb is formed from the adjective by adding -mente.
Verbs – The infinitive ends in -ar, -er or -ir.The present participle replaces the infinitive -ar with -ante, -er with -ente, -ir with -
iente.The past participle replaces the infinitive -ar with -ate, -er and -ir with -ite.The imperative drops the -r of the infinitive. No pronoun is used.The present tense drops the -r of the infinitive.The future tense adds (stressed) -a to the infinitive.The past tense replaces the -r of the infinitive with -va.The perfect tense uses the auxiliary ha with the past participle.The future perfect uses the auxiliary habera with the past participle.The pluperfect tense uses the auxilary habeva with the past participle.The conditional tense adds -ea (stressed e) to the infinitive.The conditional perfect tense uses the auxiliary haberea with the past participle.The passive uses the appropriate tense of the auxiliary esser with the past participle.
