=Basic Grammar=

1. Nouns - Davaranen
Nouns have 3 features

Gender
Endings of all genders:

masculine - any consonant

Number

Adding "-en" suffix to a noun makes plural form.

Cases
There are five declinations in Verdantheria: feminine, masculine I and II, neuter and plural.

The difference of two masculine declinations depends of the ending of the word in Nominative.

If it's *VC then it's Masculine I, if *VCC - masculine II.

Verbs - Nethelen
All infinitives end with the letter "-e" or "-i".

There are five tenses: Present, Past imperfect, Past perfect, Future imperfect, Future Perfect

Negation and imperative
We make negations in Verdantheria by adding word "je" before the noun.

Imperative forms are made by adding the "-j" suffix to an infinitive.

===Creating new words from verbs === Nouns are created by "cutting off" the last vowel from the infinitive.

Adjectives are made by adding "-b" suffix to an infinitive. If an adjective needs to have a perfective form you also have to add prefix "-mi".

Adjectives - fešnaten
Basic form of an adjective (the one you search for in a dictionary) is masculine. You can also create:

feminine by adding "-a"

neuter by adding "-o".

They use the same declinations as Nouns.

You can make adjectives from nouns by adding:

"-nin" for masculine form

"-na" for feminine

"-no" for neuter and

"-nen" for plural

Comparison of adjectives
There are three forms of comparison:

-positive

-comparative ("na-")

-superlative ("voye-")

We also create adverbs from basic form of an adjective and suffix "-os".
