Fosafa

Writing System
Each sound is written as its IPA symbol.

Grammar
Fosafa uses an VSO sentence structure. However, this order isn't strict. You can rearrange the words. Moving one to the start of the sentence emphases it. The object (if any) requires a "-mon" suffix; indirect objects use "-for" instead.

Fosafa doesn't have subclauses; instead, start a new sentence.

Adjectives are appended to the start of the noun they are connected to. Note that any noun can be used as an adjective meaning "like ___". Appending "-ko-" to a noun or pronoun creates an adjective meaning "owned by ___".

Ask questions by appending "-do" to the verb. Ask wh-questions by using sak (mystery) in the unknown element and moving it to the front of the sentence. Ask polar questions by asking a question without sak in it.

Make requests or demands by appending "-ri" to the verb.

To negate a verb, append "ris-".

Present tense is unmarked. Append the correct prefix to mark another tense (past: pa-; future: po-).

There is no word for "are/to be"; just say the noun with the adjective. If you need to modify the verb in such a sentence, use "ta". "ta" is a verb that doesn't mean anything; it just holds the affixes.
