=Basic Grammar=

1. Nouns - Davaranen
Nouns have 3 features

1. Gender - patren

2. Number - myada

3. Case - švartan

Gender
Endings of all genders:

masculine - any consonant

feminine - 'a'

neuter - 'o' or 'u'

Number
Nouns in Verdantheria can be singular or plural only.

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.

2. 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-".

3. Adjectives - fešnaten
The dictionary form is always 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".

4. Pronouns - šatraven
There are three types of pronouns:

1. Personal pronouns - palanen šatraven

2. Possesive pronouns - jaleben šatraven

3. Other pronouns - lesken šatraven (all pronouns that are not from group 1. and 2.)

1. Personal pronouns
There are 10 different personal pronouns (5 singular and 5 plural):

Singular:

Is-I

Dei-You

Nes-He

Nesi-She

Neso-It

Plural:

Ine-We

Doni-You

Mes-They (masculine)

Mesi-They(feminine and mixed groups)

Meso-They(animals, inanimate objects and so called "polite form" of "you")

They have different conjugations from nouns.

1. Cardinal Numbers - kalamen myadnisen
0-kol

1-jin

2-pel

3-lim

4-thir

5-nir

6-ris

7-parin

8-vay

9-lethin

10-kej

20-peljen

30-limjen

40-thiryen

50-niryen

60-risyen

70-parinjen

80-vayen

90-lethinjen

100-nuo

1000-eren

2. Ordinal numbers
They are created by adding "-ti" to a cardinal number, eg. thir-thirti (four-fourth).

In more complex numerals you add this suffix only to the last number, eg. limjen-pel->limjen-pelti(thirty two-thirty second)

3. Multiplicative numerals
In english there are only 2 numerals that can be counted as multiplicative: double and triple.

In Verdantheria you can create such numerals from every number you want by adding "no-" to a cardinal number, eg. double would be "nopel".

Cardinal numbers and multiplicative numerals conjugate using masculine conjugation I while ordinal numbers take feminine conjugation.
