Nouns
Fermanic nouns pertain to one of three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine or neuter. While "naturally gendered" nouns, such as "man" and "woman" always pertain to their respective grammatical gender category, one usually has to learn the nouns together with their article to know which gender they pertain to. Moreover, nouns are inflected according to number (singular or plural) as well as according to case (nominative, accusative, dative or genitive).

Gender
Apart from "natural gender categories", it is possible to, sometimes, know the gender when looking at the ending of the noun.

The articles used for a noun shows its gender. These are as follows:

Plural
There are many ways of forming plural in Fermanic. For shorter masculine nouns, an umlaut (when possible) is usually enough to form plural, and for longer words the most common plural endings include -er and -en, oftentimes in combination with umlaut, when possible. For feminine nouns, -or or -on are common, and for neuter nouns, either the word is unchanged, or -er is the plural form. Some examples:

Cases
The articles of Fermanic nouns are declined according to cases. There are a total of four, namely nominative (upright case), accusative (direct object), dative (indirect object) and genitive (possession). Ein Mann

Partitive article
The Fermanic partitive article is, like in French, used for uncountable singular nouns (. Unlike other articles, the partitive is not declined according to case.

Verbs
Verbs in Fermanic are conjugated in different tenses according to three persons, two numbers and four moods (indicative, conditional, imperative and subjunctive). The regular verbs are conjugated according to the following patterns:

Negation
Fermanic employs double negation, like in French. Using the particle nee, you form all of the negatives, including, for example, not, never and nothing. Like in French, negation encircles the conjugated verb, with nee before it and the negative word after it. In cases with objects (accusative or dative), these are also encircled. Unlike in French, nee is usually not dropped in spoken language.

''nee ... nit'' - not

''nee ... aldrei'' - never

''nee ... Person'' - nobody

''nee ... Saak'' - nothing

Example: Jeg nee ville nit. - I don't want it.

Prepositions
In Fermanic, prepositions are associated with different cases. The nouns following these prepositions need to be declined in the given case. The prepositions can be grouped into four categories: those associated with accusative, those associated with dative, those associated with genitive, and those associated with either accusative or dative, depending on if one is talking about direction (accusative) or location (dative).
