Grammar

Tense & Sentence structure

The sentence structure in Fyfyh takes on a different word order depending on the tense. The structures are as follows:

Past <dative> <verb> <subject> <object>

Present <dative> <subject> <verb> <object>

Future <dative> <subject> <object> <Verb>

You'll notice the dative will always be the first thing you hear, this is constant throughout all the tenses. You should assume it's the present tense, if you need to express any other tense you have to add the subject and object they can't be omitted until the intended tense is clear.

Negating verbs

To negate a verb you simply follow the verb with 'f' (it must go after the verb). This is used also to say yes and no. If you want to say yes say take the greeting example:

Person A: Wytal ky? (Want to hang out?)

Person B Wytal. (Yes)

And another example of the negative:

Person A Wytal ky? (Want to hang out?)

Person B Wytal f. (No)

Usage of Fyfyh

Greeting

In Fyfyh the normal situation is you would say "Wytal ky?" the question you're asking is basically "Do you want to hang out?" or "Want to chat?". The response to this is ether wytal (yes) or wytal f (no), if they don't want to you're expected to leave/stop talking to them (for a while).

The word Haly is used when you're greeting someone but you're not giving them an option about it. You're going to engage in a conversation. This would be considered rude if you did this when it's not needed. Examples of use cases might be a police officer who needs to speak to you or even arrest you might start the conversation like this. Another use maybe a friend is upset and you're worried for their safety so you may start like this as you're not giving them an option to decline to engage in the conversation/be with you.

Only use haly when needed!
