No Sucn Thing as Death

There is no such thing as death. There is only life, passing from one person to another. What we call death is the end of a person’s life, not the beginning of death. For death to exist, it must contain something. But it is nothing, not even emptiness.

Universes Go on Infinitely

Take me to the moon.
I'll fly with you.
From the moon
I want to go
to another galaxy.
To the red one
they're talking about.
We can also go
to the other
side
of
galaxies.
That's
what
They're talking about it too.
I don't believe them.
Universes
never end.
They go on
infinitely.

In alto mari - Aavalla merllä - On the Open Sea

 

In alto mari

Viros velos ad vento dant,
nam in alto mari 
illos dolores et curas 
omittunt.

Aavalla merellä

Miehet lähtevät purjehtimaan,
sillä aavalla merellä
he tuskat ja murheet
unohtavat.

On the Open Sea

Men go sailing,
because on the open sea
they forget sorrows
and worries.

The Latin saying "Vela ventis dare" literally means to give the sails to the wind.

Latino sine flexione ("Latin without inflections"), Interlingua de Academia pro Interlingua (IL de ApI) or Peano's Interlingua (abbreviated as IL) is an international auxiliary language compiled by the Academia pro Interlingua under the chairmanship of the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932) from 1887 until 1914. It is a simplified version of Latin, and retains its vocabulary.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026

Here is a special Christmas postcard for you, the readers of my language blog. The card has a Christmas greeting in Ingrian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Ido. I chose Ido and Ingrian because this blog has published articles discussing these languages ​​. Portuguese and Dutch are included because readers of this blog also visit from Holland and Brazil. You can find English, Spanish, Italian, and German Christmas cards at https://yerosacom.wordpress.com/2025/12/07/free-xmas-cards-2025-in-other-languages-than-english/. Feel free to send the attached card to your friends and relatives. 

Thank you to all who visited here, and I hope to see you again next year. 

If you have time, go listen to the popular Finnish Christmas carol on YouTube, performed in English. I have translated the Finnish words into English. You’ll find the song at https://youtu.be/9U2PAY_hXfE

Conscience,
the flame of humanity,
If it goes out,
the darkness of
cockroaches
rules the world.

The Rotten Apples

 The Rotten Apple

 

The Rotten Apples

I am tired of humans.
They are monsters,
Or let’s say,
There are too many
monsters among decent
people, and they,
like a rotten apple,
spoils the whole
fruit basket.
The gas of evil
Toxicities me.

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet; I Have Run out of Mahorka

 

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet.
Pittää männä lafkaa.
Sit ku miä oon tult
lafkast kottii,
miä sytän lampin,
söön kaakkuu
ja joon kohvii.

Ono kumma,
jot lanterna ei puttoo
tuulees allaa
krintsan pinnalle.

When I get back home,

eat barley bread,

onto the porch in the wind.
