Revision as of 11:48, 26 March 2016
This is all a draft.
In March 2016 we're cleaning up the language yet again. This time for sure. Presto!
Adjectives
Adjectives usually precede the nouns they modify, but are rarely placed afterwards, for effect:
gute morgen "good morning"
alta rol "high office"
but tempos conects "contiguous times"
Most adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives with the adverbs ply "more" and plä "most":
ply alta "higher" plä lange "longest"
Adjectives agree with their nouns in number:
tempos conects "contiguous times" duväds miăs "black cats"
Note that some adjectives are plural only:
alle mensches "all men"
Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms:
gute, besser, ...
... but should they??
Pronouns
Personal Pronouns
| Nominative | Objective | Possessive | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Sing. | ego | me | me | |
| 2. Sing. | ðŏ | ði | ðæ | |
| 3. Sing. | Masculine | erre | ri | ris |
| Feminine | esse | szi | szir | |
| Epicene | ex | ex | exes | |
| Neuter | idde | id | ids | |
| 1. Plur. | wå | nos | ăr | |
| 2. Plur. | vø | vos | vor | |
| 3. Plur. | lø | los | lor | |
These are all up for debate.
Other Pronouns
The reflexive pronoun is selb, plural selbs. It may be used as nominative, for emphasis, or as objective, for reflexiveness:
Der König Selb ist hir! "The King Himself is here!"
Lø libe selbs plä. "They love themselves most."
The relative pronoun is velk:
Der mensch, velk esse libe, kenne ri. "The man whom she loves knows him."
Der mensch, velk libe schi, kenne ri. "The man who loves her knows him."
These are also up for debate.
