amyes - amyas [ Note 1 ] I, me

agyes - agyas- agyos  You [ sing. .]

asyes He, asyas She asyos  It

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">vivyes - vivyas - vivyos We

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">agzyes - agzyas- agzyos  You [  pl.]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">astes - astas-  astos They

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">vanyes - vanyas - vanyos Who ? Which ? [ Person(s)]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">vantos Which ? What ? [ Thing(s) ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">vasyos -self *[ reflexive pronoun 

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">quenyes - quentas - quentos Someone, Anyone

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">eltes - eltas- eltos Everyone

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">liquentos No-one

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">NOTE 1 The Collective gender is used for inanimate subjects, or when the gender of the subject is unknown or mixed ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">vantos is declined as an example :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Sing. Pl.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Nominative vantos  vantoszi What ?

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Genitive vantosam vantosamizi Of What ?

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Prepositional vantoko vantokozi [ By, To, etc ] what ? 

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;"> The personal pronouns also have Possessive forms, which are adjectives :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">My, mine amya [sing.] amyazi [pl.]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Your, yours [sing] agya agyazi 

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">His/ Her/ Its asya asyazi [ or asyesya/ asyasya / asyosya *]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Our, ours vivya vivyazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Your, yours [pl] agzya agzyazi 

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Their  asta astazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Whose ? vanya vanyazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Of What ? Of Which ? vanta vantazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-self's* vasya vasyazi 

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Someone's, Anyone's quanta quantazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Everyone's [ All ] elta eltazi  

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">No-one's liquanta liquantazi

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">*The reflexive pronoun vasyos [ vasya, vasyazi ] is used to refer to the subject of the phrase or sentence. e.g mingasem vasya shikal = I saw [my own] destiny ( mingasem= I saw, vasya = own, shikal = destiny ).

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">In most contexts the general third person possessive asya [ = His / Her / Its ] refers to the subject of the sentence. When it is necessary to differentiate between more than one of these possibilities, the possessive adjectives asyesya (= asyes vasya ) / asyasya (= asyas vasya ) / asyosya ( = asyos vasya ) [ = His own, Her own, Its own ] or astesya / astasya / astosya (= astes vasya / astas vasya / astos vasya ) [ Their own ] are used. These always refer to the subject of the verb. For example : Sa sengi migasessho  margoz nang sa beshinakozi; asyosya sikra zhes nagya = The lion had seen a goat among the oak trees ; its [ the lion's ] hair was black. Compare with Sa sengi migasessho  margoz nang sa beshinakozi; asya sikra zhes nagya = The lion had seen a goat among the oak trees ; its [ the goat's ] hair was black. [ Note that the lion's and goat's genders are undetermined, hence the collective form of the adjectives is used ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The emphatic pronouns amyasya [ = My own ], agyasya [ = Your own (s. ) ], vivyasya [ = Our own ] agzyasya [ = Your own ( pl. ) ], are sometimes used, and vanyasya [ = Whose own ? ], quantyasya [ = One's / Someone's / Anyone's own ], eltyasya [ Everyone's own ] are used more rarely.

Nouns
1. Nouns<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Nouns are the names used to talk about things, animals, people, or abstract concepts. Nouns end in either consonants or vowels.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">marjeb ( king ) -> marjebizi  ( kings )
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Those ending in vowels add the  ending -zi in the plural
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">e.g :
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">retto ( horse ) -> rettozi ( horses )
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">If the noun ends in a consonant then -izi is added in the plural
 * <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">e.g

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">These forms are what is known as the Nominative cases of the noun, ie the " name " of the thing you are talking about. Troll also has two other cases of nouns, which are described in a later paragraph.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">'2. Adjectives'

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Adjectives are words used to qualify the type of thing we are talking about, for example, we speak of a " rich king ", or a " pretty bird ", or a " fast horse ". The adjectives describe the qualities of the nouns they are connected with. In English, and in Troll, the adjective precedes the noun it describes in most sentences. But sometimes we can use the adjective as the main object of a sentence, for example " The horse was fast " is a complete sentence consisting of a noun ( the horse ), a verb ( was ) and an adjective ( fast ). In this type of sentence the adjective usually follows the verb, which itself follows the noun. Of course there can be other adjectives in this kind of sentence as well : " The grey horse was fast " is an example.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Adjectives in Troll usually end in a or e ( rarely in  ) when  they refer to a singular noun. If the noun to which the adjective refers is plural, then the a changes to azi ( e -> ezi,  or  + azi ) in the plural : e.g

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa rigya marjeb zhes medsha -> The great king was wise

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( sa = the, rigya adj. = great, zhes = [he] was, medsha = wise )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa rigyazi marjebizi zhesti medshazi -> The great kings were wise.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( zhesti = [they] were )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Adjectives can also be used in a comparative sense, eg “ The king is wiser than his son “, or a superlative sense ; “ The king is wisest of all men “. Troll expresses these meanings by use of the preposition sang, and the suffix  -ba, '  meaning more, as   in the following examples.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> COMPARATIVE DEGREE [ A one - to one comparison ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa marjeb zhas medshaba sang asya sirako = The king is wiser above his son ( zhas = he is,  medshaba = more wise, sang = above, asya = his, sirako , from sira = son ; Prepositional Case, see below )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Rettozi zhasti sirunaziba sang tantukozi = Horses are faster than bulls

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( zhasti = [they] are, sirunaziba = more fast [ pl ], tantu + kozi = bulls )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">SUPER-COMPARATIVE DEGREE [ A comparison of one to many ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa marjeb zhes medshaba sang quantokozi asyazi siramizi = The king was wiser above some of his sons (  quantokozi = some,  asyazi = his own [pl.] siramizi = of sons )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">SUPERLATIVE DEGREE [ A comparison of one to all others ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa marjeb zhes medshaba sang eltazi simadakozi = The king was wiser above all people ( eltazi = all, simadakozi   = people )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Comparisons can also be made where the subject is less endowed than the others,

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa marjeb zhas medsha zatsan asya sirako = The king is wise below his son ( zatsan = below, under )( ie, the king was less wise than his son ; note that the incremental suffix -ba is not used here ) ( The same idea could also be expressed as sa sira marjebam zhas medshaba sang asya harbishoko = The son of the king is wiser above his father )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Declension of Nouns

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">In Troll the various ways a noun is used in a sentence require different endings to be applied to the noun's Nominative form, which is the form listed in the dictionary. Troll has three cases, each indicating a different meaning. We have already seen the use of the Nominative case, this refers to the name of the thing which is the subject or object if the sentence. So in both of the following sentences, the Nominative case is used :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa rigya marjeb zhes medsha = The great king was wise

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">[ marjeb > Nominative ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Pareltin zhes rigya marjeb = Pareltin [ a person's name ] was a great king.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The second sentence differs from the first in that marjeb is the object of the verb zhes  [was], while in the first it is the subject. Troll uses the same case ending for both meanings, but the subject of the sentence precedes the verb, and the object follows it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">4.1 POSSESSIVE CASE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The Possessive case indicates either the source of something, or possession of something. It corresponds to the English construction " ... of [ the king ] " or " the [ king's ] ...". In Troll the Possessive case is formed by adding -m  to the Nominative form if the noun ends in a vowel,  or -am if the noun ends in a consonant. The plural endings are -mizi  or –   amizi.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa retto marjebam zhas dikara = the horse of the king [ the king's horse ] is white.(  zhas  = [it] is, dikara = white, marjeb + am = king's )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa sikra rettom zhas dikara = The hair of the horse is white. ( sikra = hair - can be singular or plural, as in English, retto + m = horse's )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa sikra rettomizi marjebam zhas dikara = The hair of [the] king's horses is white.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( ie the hair of several horses belonging to a ( = the) king is white )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( retto + mizi = horses' )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Note that the word order in Troll has the possessor or source in the Possessive following the object referred to. In the third sentence, the object(s) referred to ( the horses ) are also in the Possessive case because they are the possessors of the hair, which is the subject of the sentence. Note also that the article sa is really only needed before the subject noun, unless there is some reason to make it clear that the possessor is not any king, but the king !

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">4. PREPOSITIONAL CASE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The Prepositional case is used when a noun is governed by a preposition. The Prepositional is formed by adding -ko to the end of nouns ending in vowels in the singular. If the noun ends in a consonant, -ako is added. The plural is formed by adding -zi to the Prepositional singular. e.g:

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa sengi nyamasessho marjeb ingvi kronako= The lion had injured the king with a claw ( sengi = lion, nyamanessho = [ he ] had injured, ingvi = by means of,  kron + ako = claw)

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">sa rettozi prulasesti sebla sa beshinakozi  = The horses walked between the oak trees (  prulanesti   = they walked,  sebla  = between,   beshin + akozi   = oak trees )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

Verbs
3. Adverbs<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">An adverb ( as can be deduced from its name ) is an addition to a verb. It qualifies how an action is performed, and therefore has some strong similarity to an adjective. In fact, almost all adverbs in Troll are derived from the corresponding adjective, by adding va to the end. There is no plural form. The incremental suffix  -ba  can also be used with adverbs.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">e.g : sa rigya marjeb debansas medshava-> The great king rules wisely.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">( debansas = [he] rules, medshava [ from medsha + va ] = wisely )

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Asya sira debansases medshavaba >  His son ruled more wisely.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> (  debansases   = [he] ruled,  medshavaba [ from medsha + va + ba ]  = more wisely

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">4.
 * 1) <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Verbs

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Verbs are the words which describe the action in a sentence. They have a fundamental meaning, which is modified by various endings to signify when the action takes place, and who is doing it. The timing of the action is called the tense, and there are four tenses in Troll: Present , Future , Past , and Perfect.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">
 * 1) <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">THE BASIC FORM OF THE VERB

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">This is given in the vocabularies in the Infinitive form, as in the following examples :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">prulare = to walk ;  nyamare   = to wound ;  debansare '  = to rule

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The “stem” of the verb is found by removing the re ending of the infinitive form. Thus the stems of the above verbs are prula-, nyama- , and debansa- .

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">5.2 PRESENT TENSE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">This corresponds to the English continuous present tense; ... is reading, ... are writing, etc. It is formed from the verb stem if this ends in a,i,o  or  u.  If the stem ends in  e,   then the present tense ending is  ea.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">5.3 FUTURE TENSE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">This is equivalent to the English ... will be reading, ... will be writing, as well as the indefinite future tense, ... will read, ... write, etc. There is no distinction between these meanings in Troll. The Future tense is formed by adding

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-fi to the verb stem.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">5.4 PAST TENSE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Again this corresponds to two English tenses, for example ... was reading, ... was writing, and also ... read, ... wrote, etc. The Past tense is formed by adding -se to the verb stem.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">5.5 PAST PERFECT TENSE

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The Past Perfect tense indicates that the action has already been completed and is no longer occurring. It corresponds to English ... has read, ... have written, etc. It is formed by attaching the suffix -  sho   to the Past tense.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">5.6 PRONOMINAL ENDINGS

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">All of the above tenses of the verb have pronominal suffixes attached after the tense endings, to indicate who is performing the action. The pronominal suffixes are as follows :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-m = I ; 1st Person sing.]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-g = You ; [2nd p., sing. ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-s = He/ She/ It ; [ 3rd p. sing].

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-vi  = We ; [ 1st p. pl.]]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-gzi  = You ; [2nd p., pl. ]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">-sti = They ; [ 3rd p. pl.]

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">Thus, the full endings are :

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">NEGATION can be implied by placing the article li before the verb.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">:eg linyamafivi = We shall not injure

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The particle zhai expresses the SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD, ie may ..., let ..., [followed by a verb ] <p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The negative subjunctive is expressed as zhaili ...( let it not...)

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">: eg zhai prulafivi = Let us walk,  zhaili prulafivi Let us not walk

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">zhaili nyamasevi astos = Let us not have injured them

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The IMPERATIVE is formed from the stem of the verb by adding the suffix -stig (s), -stigzi (pl) : eg prulastig ! ''Walk ! (s) ; lizhistigzi pyimazi ! Don't be late ! (pl)

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">The PASSIVE MOOD ( as opposed to the INDICATIVE MOOD, which is the normal meaning of the verbal forms given above ) is expressed by means of impersonal constructions. For example, the sentence “ I was injured “ can be reworded as “ [It] injured me “ :' nyamases amyes. Or “[They] injured me “ : nyamasesti amyes. 'If the context does not imply otherwise, the Third person singular would normally be employed in this construction.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Paradigm : Prulare = to walk ; stem Prula-

Irregular Verbs : Zhire = to be, to do ;

Lizhire = not to be, not to do
