Basic Grammatical Structures
This section primarily covers all the parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. It will also describe how to integrate the various parts of speech into a coherent sentence by using particles. By the end of this section, you should have an understanding of how basic sentences are constructed.
Expressing state-of-being
===Declaring something is so and so using 르
=
Vocabulary
- oro; 人
- person
- hoksang; 学生
- student
- ongki; 健기
- healthy
There is no verb for the state-of-being like the verb "to be" in English. You can, however, declare what something is by attaching 르
to a noun or adjective only. (We will learn about adjectives in the section on adjectives later.)
Examples
- 人르。
Is person.
- 学生르。
Is student.
- 健기르。
Is healthy.
Conjugating to the negative state-of-being
Vocabulary
- eke; 友
- friend
In Rangyan, negative, past and future tenses are all expressed by conjugation. We can conjugate 르
to either its negative, past or future tense to say A is not B; A was B; or A will be B. This may be a bit hard to grasp at first but all these state-of-being conjugations are regular.
Example
- 学生로므。
Is not student.
- 友로므。
Is not friend.
- 健기로므。
Is not well.
Conjugating to the past state-of-being
We will now learn the past tense of the state-of-being. To say something was something, attach 루웨
to the noun or adjective.
In order to say the negative past (was not), conjugate 르
to the negative past tense 로무웨
.
