Alphabet
Diphthongs: Not considered part of the alphabet:

Articles and Demonstratives
Articles are invariable to case. These articles are assumed to be in nominative case. If needed, e can be used as a connecting vowel for the definite article when another case is used.

Noun Cases
There are four cases: nominative, accusative, genitive/dative, and prepositional. They are very simple to decline. The definite article precedes the case marker when singular, and follows when plural. Exception: In masculine case, with words ending in "d", the "e" is not needed for accusative and genitive/dative cases. Examples with hund (dog, declined as if it were a normal noun), rosa (flower), and carro (car):

Verbs
Verbs are inflected only by tense, not by person or number. All infinitive verbs end in the suffix -er. The infinitive also doubles as a gerund.

Conjugation:

present tense: -er to -en

''i.e. Je runnen. ''(I run)

past tense: -er to -ed

''i.e. Du runned. ''(You ran)

future tense: vil + verb without -er

''i.e. Je vil runn. ''(I will run.)

imperfect tense: vas + infinitive

''i.e. Je vas runner å storenen ja en biciclet mi hitted. ''(I was running to the store and a bike hit me)

past participle tense: had + past tense verb

''i.e. Je had alredij pörsed melketet ven mi papa spoked wie åg pörser biskitenet älma. ''(I had already bought the milk when my father said we should also buy cookies)

Adjectives
Adjectives have a base form ending in a consonant, which can take on an ending for each gender and case. They connect to the beginning of the noun described, and do not vary by number. For example, given the adjective blåk (black) and the nouns hund, rosa, and carro:

Prepositions
Prepositions include the positioning or the destination of the object in relation to another, such as n (in), å (to), frå (from), and ut (out).

"Compound prepositions" can be formed by combining one of each type, such as nå (into) or utfrå (outside of).

They are placed either before or after the object being described.

Je en utfrå storenen. - I am outside of the store.

Re valked frå ru husen å skolenet. - He walked from his house to school.

''Kloudene en n skeinen ja abuf spronene. - ''The clouds are in the sky and above the trees.
