Hi! I'm an Italian university student in Foreign Languages and Literatures.

My university studies include the English and Finnish languages. My individual studies are focused on Irish and my own conlang, Reulgigo.

Some protologisms
By coming up with thing words, in no way do I mean that this is how they should be or that I use these words in their respective languages. This is just for fun.
