Verbs
The way verbs are conjugated depends on the tense and on how polite the speaker wants to sound.

_________________________________________________________________________________

1. Present tense

1.1. "-do" verbs

By adding "-do" at the end of a verb, the whole sentence becomes polite. Even in a lot of casual situations you can use verbs that end with "-do".

"Yi ango we sai" --> "Yi ango we saido" = I speak English

(!!) If the word "sa=also/too/as well" has to be used in the same sentence as a "-do" verb it becomes "-deusa"

A:"Yi ango we saido"       B:"Yi saideusa!" B:Me too! / I speak it too.

(!!) Other endings that have to go at the end of the verb too replace "-do". Yet, they can't replace "-deusa".

Yi kuleu da kurungdo / Yi kuleu za kurungdo --> I "travel" to school. --> Eul kuleu za kurunggo? (Do you go there?) -Na kurungdo.

--> eul kuleu za kurungdeusago? ( Do you go too?)

Saido (do-conjugation) in all tenses:

Present: saido             Present + "too" : saideusa    Present question: saigo          Present question + "too": saideusago

Past:  saijuu                 Past+"too": saijeusa/ saijuu sa  Past question: saijuugo     Past question + "too": saijeusago/saijuu sa go

Future: saigeul            Future + "too": saigeul sa       Future question: saigeulgo    Future question + "too": saigeul sa go

Connecting form: saide      Connecting form + too: saisade

_________________________________________________________________________________

1.2 No ending

Leaving the verb like it is is an acceptable way of conjugation which is mostly used in casual situations or in school.

"Yi ta mahama nei orong we fonleu" --> I collect oranges for my mother. / " I ta mother for orange we collect"

Any other endings can be just added:      "Eul ta mahama nei orong we fonleugo?" --> Do you collect oranges for you mom?

1.3. "-jissa"

Syntax
S+O+P / S...O

It is only important that the subject is at the beginning of the sentence and that the object is at the end. If the subject is clear to the speaker it doesn't have to be mentioned.

"Yi Ferén iya." -> "I am Feren"

_______________________

Possesive Particle "ta"

"Yi ta mahama" = "My mum"    "Yi ta outong" = My garden

There is no verb that translates the meaning of "to have". Instead you use a possessive construction with "ta" and add "iya" at the end of the sentence, which can be translated as "it is like that" in that case. E.g. : "Yi ta outong iya" = I have a garden

______________________

Accusative Particle "we"

"we" follows the verb that it refers to. It can be pronounced as"we" / "he" / "e" depending on how much it facilitates pronunciation. Yet, the pronunciation is always interchangeable.

Yi hin we ka. = I love you              Yi jungyu we sai. = I speak Chinese. Pau-yuumi ta gokan ide, we yi aen na-yong. - "She fear have, which I understand not can"

I don't understand that she's scared.

"we" can also refer to a whole sentence, if it comes after a verb.

"Yi ango we sai na-yong, we pau na-aen." - I can't speak English, which he doesn't understand.

"yi" is often replaced by "ja" if it is a direct object in order to facilitate pronunciation.

Yi we na-mo. = Ja we na-mo -> (...) doesn't/don't see me.

Jeunkwa dachong ia ni na. Yunshedon ts'we nayeusa."        Today we are not alone, Forever, we won't.
