Basic Grammar[]
1. Nouns - Davaranen[]
Nouns have 3 features
1. Gender - patren
2. Number - myada
3. Case - švartan
Gender[]
Endings of all genders:
masculine - any consonant
feminine - 'a'
neuter - 'o' or 'u'
Number[]
Nouns in Verdantheria can be singular or plural only.
Adding "-en" suffix to a noun makes plural form.
Cases[]
There are five declinations in Verdantheria: feminine, masculine I and II, neuter and plural.
The difference of two masculine declinations depends of the ending of the word in Nominative.
If it's *VC then it's Masculine I, if *VCC - masculine II.
Case | feminine | neuter | masculine I | masculine II | plural |

Negation and imperative[]
We make negations in Verdantheria by adding word "je" before the noun.
Imperative forms are made by adding the "-j" suffix to an infinitive.
Creating new words from verbs:
Nouns are created by "cutting off" the last vowel from the infinitive.
Adjectives are made by adding "-b" suffix to an infinitive. If an adjective needs to have a perfective form you also have to add prefix "mi-".
3. Adjectives - fešnaten[]
The dictionary form is always masculine. You can also create:
feminine by adding "-a"
neuter by adding "-o".
They use the same declinations as Nouns.
You can make adjectives from nouns by adding:
"-nin" for masculine form
"-na" for feminine
"-no" for neuter and
"-nen" for plural
Comparison of adjectives[]
There are three forms of comparison:
-positive
-comparative ("na-")
-superlative ("voye-")
We also create adverbs from basic form of an adjective and suffix "-os".
4. Pronouns - šatraven[]
There are three types of pronouns:
1. Personal pronouns - palanen šatraven
2. Possesive pronouns - jaleben šatraven
3. Other pronouns - lesken šatraven (all pronouns that are not from group 1. and 2.)

5. Numerals - myadnisen[]
1. Cardinal Numbers - kalamen myadnisen[]
0-kol
1-jin
2-pel
3-lim
4-thir
5-nir
6-ris
7-parin
8-vay
9-lethin
10-kej
20-peljen
30-limjen
40-thiryen
50-niryen
60-risyen
70-parinjen
80-vayen
90-lethinjen
100-nuo
1000-eren
2. Ordinal numbers[]
They are created by adding "-ti" to a cardinal number, eg. thir-thirti (four-fourth).
In more complex numerals you add this suffix only to the last number, eg. limjen-pel->limjen-pelti(thirty two-thirty second)
3. Multiplicative numerals[]
In english there are only 2 numerals that can be counted as multiplicative: double and triple.
In Verdantheria you can create such numerals from every number you want by adding "no-" to a cardinal number, eg. double would be "nopel".
Cardinal numbers and multiplicative numerals conjugate using masculine conjugation I while ordinal numbers take feminine conjugation.
