Svadoki/Basic Grammar

Sentence Layout
    Svadoki follows a subject-object-verb format in its sentences. This is a similar format to languages like Korean, but completely different from languages like English and Spanish. Take a look at the sentences below:

ʒon kenum kleʒi - I will tell him

kenum ʒon kleki - He will tell me.

     In the sentences above, the pronouns ʒon (I) and kenum (he) were switched, so the sentence was altered and the verb was conjugated differently.

     There are five parts of speech in Svadoki: nouns, verbs, noun modifiers, verb modifiers, and preposition (interjections aren't considered a part of speech). Nouns in Svadoki include words like "he", "cow", "they", and "louse". Noun modifiers are almost the English equivilent to an adjective. In English, the Svadoki word leksis means "fish". But, when adding the noun modifier -oʒyʌ, the word becomes leksisoʒyʌ, or "small fish".

     Verbs are always conjugated in this language; the last consonant in the verb is matched to the first letter of the pronoun the noun follows and the last vowel is matched to the tense. In the example Gregory nenomyoh kleki,
