Sentences
- Most sentences in Kala contain a verb phrase, typically denoting the occurrence of an action. A verb phrase consists of a verb plus any modifiers.
- Most sentences also contain at least one noun phrase, typically denoting a person or thing. A noun phrase consists of a noun plus any modifiers.
- The two most important noun phrases are the subject and the object. Their exact meaning depends on the choice of verb, but
- loosely speaking, the subject is the person or thing that carries out the action, and the object is the person or thing that is directly affected by the action.
- Kala has an extremely regular grammar, with very few exceptions to its rules. Sentences are made up of one or more phrases. Each phrase consists of a subject (optionally followed by modifying particles) and a verb (optionally followed by modifying particles).
