Verbs

"To Be" - Saeyn

Permanent Characteristics
The most common verb in Aelder is saeyn, which is the infinitive for to be. It is irregular but follows the irregular pattern A, which will be explained later. This form of to be is used to describe permanent traits and origins of people and things. There is another form of to be that is used to describe temporal things, conditions, feelings and traits that change quickly (i.e.: health status) .

Saeyn

Singular ( Eiynisc )			Plural ( Meoulisc )
Eyeo	eosc		Aelwen (Inc.)	sic
Yeih	aesc		Arwen (Exc.)
Eiy (m.)	isc		Yeiwen
Eiyen (f.)			Theiy (m.)
Heoc (n.L)			Deiyen (f.)
Haet (n.NL)			Heom (n.)

Examples

1.) Eyeo eosc Gwendolyn ( I'm Gwendolyn)
2.) Theiy isc neot fuin heiy (They aren't from here)
3.) Heoc isc faella sindilsc (It's really fast)

• ALL the singular forms of saeyn may be contracted to -sc and combined with the preceding word. ALL plural forms may be contracted to s and combined with the preceding word.

1.) Aelwen's beoran (We're ready)
2.) Yeih'sc neot neigh heiy (You're not here yet)

"To Be" - Baeyn

Temporal Conditions
This version of to be denotes conditions and temporal things that can quickly change (as in, does not take thousands of years). It is irregular but also follows the irregular pattern A, just like saeyn. Baeyn, unlike Saeyn, is used to describe temporal things, such as conditions, feelings and traits that change fairly quickly like being sick or being happy.

Baeyn

Singular ( Eiynisc )			Plural ( Meoulisc )
Eyeo	beosc		Aelwen (Inc.)	besic
Yeih	baesc		Arwen (Exc.)
Eiy (m.)	bisc		Yeiwen
Eiyen (f.)			Theiy (m.)
Heoc (n.L)			Deiyen (f.)
Haet (n.NL)			Heom (n.)

Examples

1.) Eyeo beosc cyrnisc (I am sick)
2.) Baesc yeih teruinisc? (Are you sad?)
3.) Eiy gaelwinda sindilsc maen bisc muilanisc neo (He was running quickly and is now tired)

First Declension (Present)

Present
The present is used like the present tense in English. Before adding endings, drop the -n from the infinitive from and add the ending.

Saiyn "to see"

Eiynisc			Meoulisc
Eyeo	- a	saiya	Aelwen	- n	saiyn
Yeih	- r	saiyr	Arwen	- n	saiyn
Eiy	- t	saiyt	Yeiwen	- nt	saiynt
Eiyen			Theiy	- rn	saiyrn
Heoc			Deiyen
Haet			Heom

The present form actually encompasses the present progressive (I am seeing) and present affirmative (I DO see it) as well.

Present Perfect
To form the present perfect simply employ the helping verb aevyn and the verb afterwards. Aevyn's declensions are shown first, then how to decline a verb in the present perfect.

Aevyn (Helping verb for Perfect tense)

Eiynisc			Meoulisc
Eyeo	-	Aev	Aelwen	- n	Aevyn
Yeih	-	Aevyr	Arwen	- n	Aevyn
Eiy	- t	Aevt	Yeiwen	- n	Aevyn
Eiyen			Theiy	- n	Aevyn
Heoc			Deiyen
Haet			Heom

Ensedyn "to decide"

Perfect Tense
Eyeo	-yr	ensedyr

Second Declension (Past)
Second Declension is used like the past tense in English. Before adding endings, drop the -n from the infinitive from and add the ending.

Baewyn "to move"

Eiynisc			Meoulisc
Eyeo	- ta	baewyta	Aelwen	- ten	baewyten
Yeih	- tar	baewytar	Arwen	- ten	baewyten
Eiy	- tat	baewytat	Yeiwen	- tent	baewytent
Eiyen			Theiy	- tern	baewytern
Heoc			Deiyen
Haet			Heom

Third Declension (Future)
Third Declension is used like the future tense in English. Before adding endings, drop the -n from the infinitive from and add the ending. Another way to imply the future is to use the caeyn + infinitive structure, which is explained HERE.

Byeorn "to play"

Eiynisc			Meoulisc
Eyeo	- ne	byeorne	Aelwen	- nen	byeornen
Yeih	- ith	byeorith	Arwen
Eiy	- na	byeorna	Yeiwen

To use this form, simply attach the infinitive to the properly declined verb.

Caeyn (to go)

Eiynisc			Meoulisc
Eyeo	-	Aev	Aelwen	- n	Aevyn
Yeih	- r	Aevyr	Arwen	- n	Aevyn
Eiy	- t	Aevt	Yeiwen	- n	Aevyn
Eiyen			Theiy	- n	Aevyn

Arwen caen viydryn bilfanges gheoit (We will meet the dragon today)

Numbers

Aelder makes use of eight sets of numbers each with a different usage. The sets are Cardinal, Ordinal, Multiplicative, Reproductive, Partitive, Distributive, Collective and Nominative.

The Cardinal set is used to count sizes and amounts. For example: One, Two, Three, etc.
The Ordinal set is used to count sequential order. For example: First, Second, Third, etc.
The Multiplicative set is used to count frequency. For example: Once, Twice, Thrice, etc.
The Reproductive set is used to count duplication. For example: Single, Double, Triple, etc.
The Partitive set is used to count divisions into fractions. For example: Whole, Half, Third, etc.
The Distributive set is used to count alternating patterns. For example: Each, Every two, Every three, etc.
The Collective set is used to count groups of entities. For example: Single, Pair, Triad, etc.
The Nominative set is used as a numerical substitute for people. For example: Person 1, Person 2, Person 3, etc.
