There are seven parts of speech: noun, verb, descriptor, preposition, conjunction, numeric, and particle.
All verbs are transitive.
Descriptors encompass what would be adjectives, adverbs, and intransitive verbs in English.
Conjunctions join words, phrases, predicates, and clauses.
Particles enforce grammatical structure in sentences.
Word order is SVO (subject-verb-object). The subject and direct object are optional. If the subject is excluded, the sentence becomes passive.
In addition to a verb, a predicate may consist of a descriptor or a preposition.
Descriptors are placed before the words they modify. They may modify nouns, verbs, prepositions, and other descriptors.
Prepositions may be placed between two nouns or after a verb and before a noun.
Two words of the same part of speech may be grouped together. In such a construction, the second noun is of or pertaining to the first noun.
A clause may be enclosed with the particles 'sa' and 'su' and embedded in another clause. 'so' is placed before a single word to turn it into an embedded clause. An embedded clause behaves as a noun. 'Sa' and 'su' may be excluded at the beginning and end of a sentence.
Relative clauses are formed with "wis" in the following way: yana wis tu fiti ona - the person "wis" you see it, the person that you see.
There are several suffixes that may be placed at the end of words. These suffixes are listed below:
'-s' makes a noun plural.
'-n' makes a verb past tense.
'-l' makes a verb future tense. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
