Tsagí-isme Grammar

Noun-like
The suffix -tin is added to the head of a noun phrase to mean "the set of all objects matching this description". The head is pluralized, if possible. Both noun phrases are placed in the direct case.
 * Predicate

tsime: person

oametin: the set of all people

mkac̨miyoh įįkad: my red shirt

mkac̨miyohtin įįkad: the set of all my red shirts

X-tin Y and Y X-tin both mean Y is one of X, or Y is a member of the set of all X. The most topical noun phrase is placed first.

eeyghóés dá yyohtin: That dog is mine (but the other dogs belong to someone else).

yyohtin eeyghóés dá: That dog is mine (not yours) The set that the noun is a member of is placed into the subjunctive case
 * Attributive

tsitlántin tsimia: Mia is a city-dweller -> tsimia stlántin: Mia, (who is) a city-dweller.

Verb-like

 * ===Predicative===

A independent stative prefix is prepended to a stative verb. A noun in the direct case comes after.

Attributive
A noun is followed by a verb with a stative subjunctive prefix

hįkaad mkac̨mi dá:  That shirt is red.

mkac̨mi dá įįkaad:  That red shirt.

hiimáan tsiTxo: Txo is a good person.

bhéimáan: There are good people (in this world).

The basic quantifiers in Tsagí-isme are bhaa, "there exists", ɮaa, "all", and wii, "no". rį́ is used with plural noun phrases, the others with singular ones. Indefinite plural noun phrases are implicitly quantified by ɮaa, specifying it indicates greater confidence by the speaker in their statement.
 * Quantifiers

hiigóns bhaa tsibhaiyin: "There exist our leaders who are foolish.", "Some (at least one) of our leaders is foolish."

hiimáan ɮaa oabhaiyin: "All of our leaders are good." (stronger than just hiimáan oabhaiyun)

hiirił wii tsibhaiyin: "None of our leaders are wise."

These quantifiers may be combined with natural numbers. wii N means "at most N", bhaa N means "at least N", and ɮaa N means "all N".

Binary
Binary stative relationships that are symmetric are expressed with the binary stative prefixes. Except for the irregular forms shown in the below table, they are formed by prepending li to an unary stative prefix. Symmetric relationships are relationships where participants can change positions without changing meaning (like I am far from you, they are relatives, etc). The binary prefix agrees most prominent member of the pair (1 > 2 > 3a > 4a >3i >4i). When the less prominent noun is not indicated with a noun phrase, it may be marked by prefixing the appropriate regular stative prefix to the liinsuh? : Are we friends?
 * Symmetric

loisuh tsiTxo tsiGhun: Txo and Ghun are friends.

sxotlán lǫǫik'áán sxá: The town that is far from here
 * Quantification

Plural
Plural stative relationships that are symmetric are expressed with the plural stative prefixes, which resemble the binary prefixes. jiinsuh? : Are we friends
