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
Nominative merana lanno hlis mist sarlaen
Genetive meranan lanni hlise mistan sarlaenya
Dative meranay lannome hliseyn misteyn sarlaenla
Accusative meranan lanni hlise mistan sarlaente
Ablative meranat lannay hlisis misteln sarlaenti


2. Verbs - Nethelen[]

doreseys

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.)


1. Personal pronouns[]

There are 10 different personal pronouns (5 singular and 5 plural):

Singular:

Is-I

Dei-You

Nes-He

Nesi-She

Neso-It

Plural:

Ine-We

Doni-You

Mes-They (masculine)

Mesi-They(feminine and mixed groups)

Meso-They(animals, inanimate objects and so called "polite form" of "you")


They have different conjugations from nouns.

Accusative ises deys neses nesis nesos ines donis meses mesis mesos
Ablative iset deyt neset nesit nesot inet donit meset mesit mesot

2. Possesive Pronouns[]

Case Possesive Pronouns
Nominative iso deyo neso nesyo nesto ino donyo meseo mesyo mesto
Genetive isos deyos nesos nesyos nestos inos donyos meseos mesyos mestos
Dative isom deyom nesom nesyom nestom inom donyom meseom mesyom mestom
Accusative isos deyos nesos nesyos nestos inos donyos meseos mesyos mestos
Ablative isot deyot nesot nesyot nestom inot donyot meseot mesyot mestot

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.
