Verbs
Verbs have three persons (first, second, and third) and two numbers (singular and plural). There are five tenses (present, past, habitual, future, and conditional) and three aspects (standard, perfective, and progressive). Infinitives always end in -el, such as køqel, meaning to do or make.

Standard Aspect
In Standard, the said activity may or may not have been completed and/or be still occurring.
 * Present tense: This is just like English, describing an event or activity. I love your face. Replace the -el with -øl, -il, -al, -øil, iil, -ail (1s, 2s, 3s, 1p, 2p, 3p respective inflections). e.g. køqøl
 * Past tense: This is just like English, describing a singular event that took place in the past. Han shot first.' Replace the -el with -øs, -is, -as, etc. e.g. køqøs
 * Habitual tense: This tense is similar to the habitual aspect found in other languages and indicates an activity performed more than once in the past. I many times played football. Replace the -el with -øth, -ith, -ath, etc. e.g. køqøth
 * Future tense: This is just like English, describing a planned event that will take place. I will eat my supper. Replace the -el with -øk, -ik, -ak, etc. e.g. køqøk
 * Conditional tense: This is a hypothetical tense in which the speaker indicates what would, could, or should happen in the present or future. The sky could snow tomorrow. I should go home. I would go home, but I can't move. Replace the -el with -øll, -ill, -all, etc. e.g. køqøll

​Perfective Aspect
In the Perfective aspect, the said activity has been completed and is not occurring in the present.
 * Present Perfect: Just like English, this tense refers to an activity that has already been completed by the present time. Anakin Skywalker has gone to the Dark Side. Replace the -el with -ølt, -ilt, -alt, etc. e.g. køqølt
 * Past Perfect: Just like English, this tense refers to an activity that has already been completed by an event or time in the past. Anakin Skywalker had been destined as the chosen one, before siding with Senator Palpatine. Replace the -el with -øst, -ist, -ast, etc. e.g. køqøst
 * Habitual Perfect: This tense refers to activities performed multiple times in the past that are no longer being completed as of a past event or time. It is identical to the past perfect, but referring to multiple activities instead of just one. Harry Potter had several times survived the attacks of Lord Voldemort, before the latter rose to power in 1995. Replace the -el with -øtht, -itht, -atht, etc. e.g. køqøtht
 * Future Perfect: Just like English, this tense refers to an activity that will be completed by an event or time in the future. Harry Potter will have destroyed all of the horcruxes, before killing Voldemort. Replace the -el with -økt, -ikt, -akt, etc. e.g. køqøkt
 * Conditional Perfect: This tense is different than other perfect tenses. It refers to a hypothetical activity that would have, could have, or should have occurred in the past. Severus Snape could have been sorted into Gryffindor. He and Lily should have married after Hogwarts. They would have been the happiest couple ever. Replace the -el with -øllt, -illt, -allt, etc. e.g. køqøllt

​Progressive Aspect
​
 * Present Progressive: Just like English, this tense refers to an activity being performed immediately in the present. Hermione is taking notes, whilst Harry and Ron are daydreaming. Replace the -el with -ølv, -ilv, -alv, etc. e.g. køqølv
 * Past Progressive: Just like English, this tense refers to an activity that was being performed in the past. Harry was opening his golden egg when Moaning Murtle appeared. Replace the -el with -øsv, -isv, -asv, etc. e.g. køqøsv
 * Habitual Progressive: This tense implies that you had been performing an activity multiple times and still continued to do so. Harry was many times circling the quidditch pitch before he saw the snitch. Replace the -el with -øthv, -ithv, -athv, etc. e.g. køqøthv
 * Future Progressive: Just like English, this tense refers to an event or activity that will be being performed in the future. The Weird Sisters will be playing at the Yule Ball. Replace the -el with -økv, -ikv, -akv, etc. e.g. køqøkv
 * Conditional Progressive: This tense refers to an event or activity that would be, could be, or should be happening in the present or future. Harry should be researching how to breathe underwater. He could be sleeping. He wouldn't be stressing about the Second Task for tomorrow.

​Nouns
Svshksøq has three noun genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. It also has six cases or declensions: nominative, accusative, dative, genetive, instrumental, and prepositional. These six are relatively the same as Russian.

Nominative Case
The nominative case is for nouns that are the subject of the sentence. Nouns in this case are characterised by their lack of morphological distinction, compared to the other cases. This is their dictionary form. Snape was in love with Lily Evans.

Masculine
Nouns in the masculine nominative case always end in a consonant. kasvs'' ksejas taksøiqa. The water goes to the mountains.''

Feminine
Nouns in the feminine nominative case always end in a vowel. Seili'' saisk kyt. Books are good.''

Neuter
Nouns in the neuter nominative case always end in a liquid or approximate. ''shaixil saisk kraslak. Rooves are scary.''

Adjectives
Adjectives take on case, gender, and number of the noun they change. They come after the noun.

M:

''The water is weird. kasvs sask satsa. ''

''The weird water is weird. 'kasvs 'satsasas sask satsa''

''The good water is good. kasvs 'kytsas 'sask kyt.''

''I make good water. hø køqøl kasvs kytpes''

F: first add case letter ([a]s=nom [e]p=acc [i]r=dat i=gen [y]k=inst), then add final vowel from noun. setsasi seli, setsasa hawisa

''The book is weird. seli sask satsa.''

''The books are weird. seili saisk saitsa.''

''The weird book is weird. seli 'satsasi' sask satsa.''

''I have read the weird books. hø sastølt seili 'saitsapi.''
