2.1. Nouns
The nouns are made out of a root and a (few) morpheme(s), which can be either derivative morphemes (prefixes and suffixes) or grammatical morphemes (gender of animate objects, number and/or case), which you know about from the previous lesson. The number morpheme is mandatory, so it must tell how many objects are there at any time. The case morpheme, compared to the number morpheme, it isn't mandatory, you can mark the case with the morpheme, a separate adposition, or just don't marking it.
A noun can be classified in different groups:
2.1.1. Common / Proper: A common noun is a number which describes ideas, objects, animate beings, people... and a proper noun tells the name of a certain object, animate object, place, building...
2.1.2. Individual - Collective: A individual noun refers to just one object, and a collective refers to a group of objects (for example: pig, herd). This must not be confused with grammatical number (singualr, dual or plural).
2.1.3. Phyisical - Abstract:A physical noun describes an object or an animate object (for example: tower), and an abstract noun describes an idea (for example: happines)
2.2. Adjectives
An adjective doesn't agree with the noun, it can be "declined" in 3 possible cases:
2.2.1. Regular: describes a quality of an object
2.2.2. Comparative: compares an object with another. There are 3 types:
- Superior Comparative: object 1 > object 2
- Equal Comparative: object 1 = object 2
- Inferior Comparative: object 1 < object 2
2.2.3. Superlative: compares an object with a group. The same previous 3 types exist in the superlative case,except the Equal, but compares an object with a group instead of another object.
2.3. Conjunctions
The conjunctions don't have a meaning, instead, they have uses.
An example can be "hĵúła", which is used to greet a person infromally. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
