User:ShiptonShoveller/Kaynian Grammar

Grammar
Adjectives and adverbs are p ost-positive, they also become plural by adding -s (ü), or non-countable by adding - ţ(ü) if the noun or subject is non-countable. Verbs (and adverbs) become non-countable if the subject of the setence is so. Prepositions take the same gender as the following noun, however -tə must be added after to indicate they are prepositions. Also, Adverbs, Verbs and Adjectives can be formed from the equivelent noun by adding the correct ending.

Nouns/Adjectives
Adjectives must add -ü to the end as well as the ending. Acronyms don't take the endings, however they are treated as proper nouns so prepositions and adjectives about them still take the ending.

Word Order
Kaynian must stick to SVO always.

Verbs/Adverbs
All verbs are translated from the English first person. Adverbs take the ending -i to indicate that they are adverbs.

‡ I.e.: Jutnitulkir (will not talk (subjuctive mood))
