I greeted you. "¥¥♫", I said.

This is the "I understand you" game, a game where you have to say "I understand you" on another language!
Your job is to say "I understand you", on the language the speaker is speaking. The speaker will give you hints, which will aid you on your quest of understanding the language.
Once you say the word that means "I understand you", you win! Somebody will then declare to be the speaker.

Rules for the learner:
1. You still have to respect the speaker. Please don't be mean to them.
2. You might make notes on your post. To differentiate the notes with your quote, encase your quote in ⦍quote] tags.

Rules for the speaker:
1. Your language should have a big enough lexicon to be able to say "I understand you" logically.
2. As long as it's a language, you can use it. It will be more fun if you make one though.
3. If your language uses hard-to-type glyphs, give them the glyphs, or at least the range.
4. You must give hints to the learner. It's not fun trying to guess the language you're speaking without context.

This language uses these glyphs: ¥¿¬Ω■±÷♫¶≤°♥⌂¡

¥ might be something like "is" (unsure)
We can ask questions with question marks
Having two ¥'s important for the greeting to make sense at all
Is it even a greeting?

Does ♫ mean "what"?
You can nod/shook your head.

No change of notes.

I looked confused. "¥¶¬Ω¥¥", I said.

(Unfortunately, the speaker doesn't understand English. Yet it can type in English. Weird.)

¥ might be something like "is" (unsure) ¥ is a very vague glyph
We can ask questions with question marks
Having two ¥'s important for the greeting to make sense at all
They don't know english
¶¬Ω probably means "don't understand"
¥ alone might mean "I", ¥¥ might mean "you" (very unsure)
I think I know how to say "I understand you", but that would be a lie, so we shall continue

(I'm just gonna replace everything)
Almost definitely:
Y = I/me
YY = you
N = not/no

Unsure:
W = understand

Glyphs that should be found next: U, P

Not sure. Actually, I think U is now more important, because how was that not the correct way? We need to know how that's wrong.

Quote from: PkmnQMaybe P is do?
Noticing that "ypnwyy" and "ynwyy" are both valid sentences, I don't think p only have grammatical meanings.

Quote from: PkmnQMaybe P is do?
Noticing that "ypnwyy" and "ynwyy" have similar meanings, I don't think p only have grammatical meanings.
Alternatively, P could be for verbs and change their meaning, so we just said something contradictory to them.
