Sublclauses
To make subclauses you have to put a verb. Nedan has no prepositions/cases, we use verbs instead.
The main noun is usually the first one, except when the verb is passive (le-) or if one of the nouns has the ge- prefix.
For example:
| de numoge ne |
|---|
| people of tower |
| lede numoge ne |
| people that have tower |
| de ne genumoge |
| tower that has top |
| da ne va nua ne vo |
| the girl who gave the stone to him |
| da ne va genua ne vo |
| the stone who was given by her to him |
| da ne va nua gene vo |
| the boy whom the book was given by her |
Questions
To make yes/no questions, put the intransitive verb "gale" at the beginning of the sentence
To make other questions, replace the thing you want to know with "su"
Verbs
Tense

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infinitive | -r | -r | -r | -r | -r | -r | -r |
| Present | -ma | -da | -la | -mas | -das | -las | -va |
| Past | -mo | -do | -lo | -mos | -dos | -los | -vo |
| Future | -mi | -di | -li | -mis | -dis | -lis | -vi |
If the verb has no suffix, it is because:
- It indicates that the time, person and number is unknown or deduced from the context or subject. e.g. "de neda noveme" : "de" refers that noveme is or was of neda
