Grammar

Sentence Structure

The sentence structure is SVO (Subject-Verb-Object), with postmodifier adjectives and adverbs (adjectives and adverbs are placed after what they describe).

Nouns

A noun is formed by a root, followed by optional suffixes and an ending.

Ending is either empty or -sa for plural.

For example kaselusesa is catgirls, which is formed from root kase, suffixes -lu and -se, and ending -sa.

Roots are gender neutral by themselves and only (pro)nouns can have number and gender.

Verbs

To use a verb in a sentence, take the root (the dictionary entry) and add one of the following endings to it:

Ending Meaning
-ne present tense
-da past tense
-lo future tense
-do imperative
none infinitive

The imperative is telling somebody to do something, like "take your estrogen!" in english. The infinitive is used when a verb isn't directly being done by a noun, like "eat" in "I want to eat.".

The verb can also be postfixed by -ku to indicate uncertainty, for example "Are you sleeping?" could be worded as "?'mida somoneku".

Article

The — te, used similar to english.

There is no a/an since it's implied by default.

Punctuation

Symbol Usage/Purpose

?' Denotes beginning of an inquisitive sentence, or a sentence implying uncertainty.
