Nove Dilage

Nove Dialge is a constructed language created with the goal of combining English and Romance roots with something similar to Latin grammar. There are four Genders (Masculine, Feminine, Animate, and Inanimate) that can either have their adjectives, articles, &c decline for what they are or for another gender to indicate something about that idea. (Eg, 'Virus bonus' would mean '(A) Good man', but if one were to write 'Virus bona', the use of the feminine declensions suggests something more like '(A) Good (but effeminate) man'.)

Nouns
Nouns fall under one of four genders: Masculine, Feminine, Animate, and Inanimate. The general rule of thumb is that if someone is male or is typically a male profession, it is masculine (Virus = Man, Medus = Doctor); if someone is female or is typically a female profession, it is feminine (Femina = Woman, Secretara = Secretary); if something is non-human but is animate, it is considered animate (Hundis = Dog); and if something is inanimate, it is an inanimate noun (Lume = Light).

There are minor exceptions to these rules mostly pertaining to Animate nouns, but those are because they tend to move in a way that is animate.
