StressEdit

Stress goes on the second to last syllable unless otherwise specified with an acute accent on a vowel.  Acute accents on consonants only change their sound.

Pronouns / Inter-nominesEdit

Personal PronounsEdit

Object PronounsEdit

Object pronouns are placed after the conjugated verb.  This only applies to pronouns.  Indirect objects can only be expressed in prepositional phrases.

InterrogativesEdit

Interrogatory sentences, i.e. "When did you go shopping yesterday?" begin with an inquiry word and end with a question mark.  The subject is placed before the verb as usual.

True/False questions, i.e. "Did you go shopping yesterday?" are formed by placing the subject after the verb and adding a question mark '?'

Confirmation questions, i.e. "You went shopping yesterday?" are formed as declarative statements are, with a subject at the beginning of the sentence.  These types are preceeded by inverted question mark '¿' and followed by a standard question mark '?'
