Tah

General information
I was just bored so I made this conlang. Inspired by Klingon, Esperanto, and some Asian languages.

Grammar
tah grammar is very flexible in that one can change any word from one part of speech to another and that new words can be built from prefixes.

Nouns
Nouns all end in -o and there are 13 cases.
 * -o is the agent of an intransitive verb: kclopi japluĭo = The person goes.
 * -ovo is the subject of transitive verb
 * -ono direct object
 * -olo indirect object
 * -ogo locative/at something
 * -oya’o causal/because of something
 * -oplo temporal/during something
 * -ojo instrumental/using something
 * -orho comitative/along with something
 * -omvo than something
 * -ogeo genitive/possession
 * -ovdo like/as something
 * -oco distributive/per something

When turning a modifier into a noun, the noun represents the idea that the modifier represents (like how -ness works in English). So, if we take the adjective yekĭe (meaning "new") and change it to yekĭo, it means "newness." If we want to talk about a new thing, a novelty, then we add the prefix ja-, and we get jayekĭo. Note that this applies to every noun, so a pluĭo is not a person! It means "humanness." The prefix ja- is needed for every single noun that is meant to be a physical thing (or action).

The process for turning a verb into a noun is quite similar. kclopi means "to go," and kclopo roughly means "goingness" in English. To talk about the action of running, the ja- prefix is needed again to make jakclopo.

Verbs
There are 3 moods.
 * -i realis
 * -isi irrealis
 * -ici imperative

Words that turn into verbs mean "to be" whatever that certain quality is. If we take the modifier yekĭe and change it to yekĭi, we get the verb "to be new." Or pluĭi means "to be person-like."

Modifiers
Both adjectives and adverbs are considered the same part of speech in tah and all end in -e.

Interjections
Interjections end in -u and give sentences a sort of context to them. For example, hnu is a feeling of uncertainty, and because of that, marks a yes or no question. Interjections are also easily changed into modifiers e.g. hne means "uncertain." Changing other words into interjections can also lead to some funky emotions. For example, given the modifier dahje (meaning "catlike" or "cattishly"), one could say dahju meaning the speaker feels like a cat.

Conjunctions
These all end in -a and can combine two or more of the same part of speech in a sentence or join two or more sentences like in most other languages

Syntax
Word order is free but follows mostly VOS or VA. Modifiers always come after the noun, verb, interjection, or other modifier they describe, including clauses that describe a noun.

Stress
The first syllable is stressed unless the word has a prefix. If there are one or more prefixes on a word, then the stress of the root word is kept. For example, pluĭo roughly means humanness, and the stress is on pluĭ-. The prefix ja- turns the word into an actual, concrete thing, so a human would be a japluĭo, and the stress is still on pluĭ-.
