All of Yacivatreiza's letters are pronounced exactly the same every time they are written.

Stressing/Length of Vowels
The second-to-last syllable is usually the one stressed. However a macron can be added to most Yaci vowels, which increases their length slightly and, more importantly, makes them the stressed vowel of the word or a part of a word.

In the diphthongs ei, ai, oi, and ou, the second letter is never stressed. For example, in the word Yacivatreiza, the e is stressed.

Word Order and General Grammar
Word order is virtually free, but, for example, adjectives and/or adverbs, if placed after the noun, verb, or adjective/adverb described in a single phrase, must be placed after the noun, verb, or adjective/adverb throughout the sentence. Similarly, if verb subjects go before the verb and objects after in one phrase, said order must persist throughout the sentence. If one violates this rule they are still generally understood, but it will sound 'odd' to Yacivatreiza speakers.

Agglutination
Yacivatreiza is an extremely agglutinative language. Things that are percieved to be a unit are agglutinated together, separated by apostrophes. For example, a noun (or multiple nouns) and its (or their) adjectives go together, a verb (or multiple verbs) and its (or their) adverbs go together, etc.

Parts of Speech
Yacivatreiza has few parts of speech; most are integrated into nouns, verbs, and adjectives/adverbs.

Verbs
Verbs are conjugated by voice, person, number, tense, and aspect.

Voice
There are two voices, active and passive. To show passive voice, the verb becomes a gerund and, acting as a noun, is declined in the accusative, and no actual verb is used. If a second actual noun (such as in the English sentence "The money was donated to charities") is used, then it is declined in the dative and the gerund is declined in the accusative.

Person and Number
For verbs, there are four persons and three grammatical numbers (unlike the four grammatical numbers for nouns). They are conjugated together--in total, there are twelve person-numbers:
 * 1) First-person singular: includes the speaker
 * 2) Second-person singular: includes the one person the speaker is talking to
 * 3) Third-person singular: includes the one person or thing the speaker is talking about
 * 4) Fourth-person singular: includes generic referents, as in English 'one', but specifically when speaking to one person
 * 5) First-person paucal: includes the speaker and a small group of people
 * 6) Second-person paucal: includes the small group of people the speaker is talking to
 * 7) Third-person paucal: includes the small group of people the speaker is talking about
 * 8) Fourth-person paucal: includes generic referents, as in English 'one', but specifically when speaking to several people.
 * 9) First-person plurocollective: includes the speaker and a large group of people or all people
 * 10) Second-person plurocollective: includes the large group of people the speaker is talking to
 * 11) Third-person plurocollective: includes the large group of people the speaker is talking about
 * 12) Fourth-person plurocollective: includes generic referents, as in English 'one', but specifically when speaking to many people

Tense and Aspect
There are three tenses and three aspects, which are conjugated together--there are nine tense-aspects in total:
 * 1) Past perfective, to portray a complete event in the past (e.g. John ran )
 * 2) Past imperfect, to portray something that happened generally in the past (e.g. John used to run )
 * 3) Past progressive, to portray something was happening in the past (e.g. John was running )
 * 4) Present perfective, to portray a complete event in the present (e.g. John runs )
 * 5) Present imperfect, to portray something that happened generally starting in the past and has lasted to the present and may continue (e.g. John has ran regularly)
 * 6) Present progressive, to portray something is happening in the present (e.g. John is running )
 * 7) Future perfective, to portray a complete event in the future (e.g. John will run )
 * 8) Future imperfect, to portray something will happen generally in the future (e.g. John will run regularly)
 * 9) Future progressive, to portray something will be happening in the future (e.g. John will be running )

Cases
There are thirteen cases:
 * 1) Genitive, to show that something is of something else. (this is used along with the possessive)
 * 2) Possessive, to show that something possesses something else. (this is used allong with the genitive)
 * 3) Ergative, to show that something is the subject of a verb.
 * 4) Accusative, to show that something is the direct object of a verb.
 * 5) Dative, to show that something is the indirect object of a verb.
 * 6) Vocative, to address someone.
 * 7) Sociative, to show that something is with something else.

 * 9) Ablative, to show that something is moving away from or out of something else.
 * 10) Lative, to show that something is moving to, into, under, or onto something else. An adjective clarifies which of those it is moving to.
 * 11) Essive, to show that something is something else. If the 'something else' is definite, then the essive case demonstrates a quality. If indefinite, then it demonstrates temporary being.
