=Basic Grammar= Words can differ in nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, prepositions, & conjunctions.

Nouns
In this language, the plurals are determined by strict rules depending if its an unanimated noun, or an animated noun (how to know if a noun is unanimated or animated? Easy, if it has life is animated, if not you know), & if its termination ends plosive or not which determines if its weak or strong.

Cases
Now that we know the two types of nouns: animated & unanimated, nouns are also inflected by 6 cases: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive, Locative, & Comparative. But these 6 cases not only inflect nouns, but also inflect adjectives, pronouns, numbers, & articles.


 *  Nominative : Is one of the grammatical cases of a noun or other part of the speech, which generally marks the subject of a verb. (Generally is a noun or pronoun that is doing something.)
 *  Accusative : Is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a transitive verb. The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions. (It is a noun that is having something done to it, usually joined.)
 *  Dative : Is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given. (For example, in "John gave Mary a book".)
 *  Genitive : Is the case that marks a noun as modifying another noun. It often marks a noun as being the possessor of another noun but it can also indicate various relationships other than possession; certain verbs may take arguments in the genitive case; and it may have adverbial uses. Modern English does not typically mark nouns for a genitive case morphologically – rather, it uses the apostrophe ’s or a preposition (usually of) – but the personal pronouns do have distinct possessive forms. But here in Mirbha is the case of a noun being possessor of another noun, it also excludes the english verb " to have ".
 * Locative : Is a grammatical case which indicates a location. It corresponds vaguely to the English prepositions "in", "on", "at", and "by". The locative case belongs to the general local cases together with the lative and sepparative case. We use 6 locative cases: illative, inessive, elative, allative, adessive, & ablative.
 * Comparative : Is a grammatical case to mark a likeness to something. Excluding totally the verb " to like " used on comparisons.

Genders
On Mirbha nouns only have two genders: masculine & femenine.

Masculine nouns tend to end in the nominative case in: consonants.

Femenine nouns tend to end in the nominative case in: vowels -ä, -i.

Definite Article
Like the romance languages, Mirbha has articles, but this language is limited by only a definite article: prepositioned:  al , suffixed: -al .

This article has certain rules, it can be prepositioned or suffixed depending on the sentence's context. If its direct is prepositioned before a noun. If its indirect its suffixed with the noun.

Thank you for your help!

Hello Janko Gorenc,

I just need some time before I get to the numbers, I'm still creating the syntax, and having problems with the morphology.

So I let you know when I finished the numbers. And if you're interested on my language, give me a month to finish the grammar.

SIR OF THE DARKNESS

Thank you! No problem. I'll visit after one month. I wish you a lot of success at your work! JANKO GORENC
