I / We	o / oye	no / noye
You / Y'all	vi / viye	vin / viyen
He / She / It	ci / xi / et	cin / xin / net
They	tiye	tiyen

• No difference between words like I/me, we/us, they/them, he/him. Pronouns are pluralized the same way as regular nouns by adding -ye to the end.

Verbs

English	Present	Inf./Gerund	Past	Future
to be	ik	tik	ikd	ikolu
to have	ab	tab	abd	abolu
to do	di	tdi	did	diolu
to go	ku	tku	kud	kuhholu
to say	soblo	tsoblo	soblod	soblolu
to get, receive	két	tkét	kétd	kétolu
to make	mek	tmek	mekd	mekolu
to know	kno	tkno	knod	knolu
to think	pins	tpins	pinsd	pinsolu
to take	kab	tkab	kabd	kabolu

Verbs are conjugated into pronouns simply by prefixing the pronoun to the beginning of the word. For example, the verb "to think" tpins:

I	You	He (future)	They (past)
opins	vipins	cipinsolu	tipinsd

Verb thing????	What's this called?
have	ab
had	abd
should	xu
would	olu
could	pud
probably	pa
might	ma
probably could have	papudab

For example the sentence "I probably should have left so she wouldn't have seen me" is probably like

O paxuhab eksd aú xi ni oluhab sirrd o.

The letter "h" is used between vowels that would otherwise make awkward diphthongs, I guess.

Syntax

ok heres some examples i guess The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog = Ko rrafti kafi kitsó cumpd uvo ko leqi togu. (no change)

yeah idk the syntax is weird sometimes but mostly it's the same as English
