Variable and invariable words
Only names and derivated cases (genitive) are variable in number. The adjectives, verbs, adverbs, are not variable in number.

Defined article
The defined article is used in Kriollatino instead of accusative case in esperanto. This (case) is marked by a final "-on" (pronounced ) at the end of nominative-case word. Plural of this case is "-ons" which is pronounced.

Undefined article doesn't exist. Just put the noun.

Genitive
Genitive case is also used in english. We make a genitive case by adding the suffix "-oñ" at the end of the previous case.

Verbs
Kriollatino language conjugate verbs differently. For example, the times are marked by a first affix and mode by another affix. This second affix is in most cases a final consonant is a suffix closed (a suffix which can not receive a noun) or an open suffix which must be "closed by a noun."

Conjugation
The verbs vary only with time and not the person and time. However, the manner to conjugate verbs can be very different, and so, several cases of figures are possible. personal pronouns can be used as affixes, thus changing the tone slightly.

When conjugating without using personal pronouns as affixes, tonic accent are pronounced on each word. While if we use personal pronouns as affixes, tonic accent will be unique on the whole verbal group.

There are two degrees of conjugation ; the single conjugation is called 'simple time' whereas the second is called 'compound time'.

 * For this example, we will take the root tend— which means "take, tend"

Mode affixes
Mode affixes are suffixes which must be used with a time affix. Mode affixes are mainly compound by an open or close or affix (which can or not be associated with another affix).

Conditional (closed affix)
Conditional is a mood in Kriollatino. It may only be used with two affix times : past and present. It represents a fact which is subject to a condition.


 * For example :
 * Si hogaù tu vene, mi esem kontenta.
 * « If you come today, I'd be happy. »

The sentence is an unreal present time : the person designated by the "you" is too far to come today. Unreality of the past is modeled on the unreality of this, except that here the fact is in the past. As the event is in the past, the time used is past time.


 * For example :
 * Si ayaù tu veni, mi esim kontenta.
 * « If you had come yesterday, I'd be happy. »

Imperative (closed affix)
The imperative form is used when an order is given. For example when formulating a request or demand a prayer, a requirement, an invitation, council, a direction, a wish, permission. Combined with a negation, imperative lets investors express a prohibition - but not necessarily: as well, it can express a simple advice.

Imperative imperative form of a verb is obtained by adding a suffix "-s" after the tense termination.

Examples :
 * Prenes libron (take the book)
 * Eskabes tua tumbo (dig your grave)

The kriollatino has three tenses in imperative mood : there is present imperative (which is the most used), the past imperative (which indicates that the action must be ended before the fxed time), the future imeperative, which is used as an attenuated form of present imperative.

Participle (open affix)
The participle has two voices: active and passive.


 * The active participle terminates with -et, -it or -ut.


 * The passive participle terminates with -ent, -int or -unt.
