When the foxian inhabitants thought that their old language was very difficult. Because of that, the forgeiners and the foxian cildren could not learn the language easily. They decided to create a new language borrowing european and slavic words and teach it to the newborns and when the all the adults who colud speak the old foxian died, the reformed foxian became the only official language in foxia. The rules are quite easier but without losing the nature of foxian culture. Which says the language must be complicated itself but not necesarily difficult.

articles[]

the foxian language has two kinds of articles as English. the defined article and the undefined article. This language is richer the Katian language in this aspect of articles because the Foxian has both kinds of articles, unlike katian which only has the undefined artucle "py".

defined article[]

English language also has defined article. which is "the" and it is the only one in English. but Foxian has six different articles which are affected by the gender of the word and also by the number:

  • To - used for the masculine singular words.
    • To lodo: the bridge
  • Ta - used for the femenine singular words.
    • Ta poma: the apple
  • Te - used for the neutral singular words.

  • Ton - used for the masculine plural words.
    • Ton domoz: the houses
  • Tan - used for the femenine plural words.
    • Tan fresaz: the strawberries
  • Ten - used for the neutral plural words.
    • Ten familez: the families

The articles can also be used with declensions but these do not affect the article. what I mean could be explained with these examples with declensions:


  • me son to lodówki: I was in the bridge
  • be havass listemu ta doctorá: you have to listen the doctor
