This is where we'll put proposed and approved sentences in Naeso, exemplifying the uses of words and suffixes and grammatical structures. If you're not sure how to format a sentence gloss, see the Leipzig Glossing Rules.

If a word or suffix hasn't yet been voted in on the dictionary pages, but you use it here anyway, please please please link to the relevant vote.
