Nouns

Any nouns in Calcoradish are classified into two noun classes. There are "animal noun" and "non-animal noun" in Calcoradish. These distinction is needed when you use article, or personal pronoun. Nouns that indicates human, are classified into "animal noun".

Cases

Calcoradish noun has five cases, nominative, accusative, propositional-genitive, postpositional-genitive, and dative.

Nominative will be the subject in the sentence. Accusative, postpositional-genitive, and dative will be the object in the sentence. You must remember which case will be used as object to the verb. For example, the verb "odǽl"(to eat) needs accusative object. The verb "veþnǿl"(to love) needs postpositional-genitive object.

Articles

In Calcoradish, there is no distinction between definite articles and indefinite articles.

  • na(+non-animal noun that bigins with consonants)
  • ne(+non-animal noun that bigins with vowel)
  • ne(+animal noun)

Verbs

Form of verbs

Infinitives of verb have ending "-ǽl", "-ǿl" or "-úl". A verb which ends with -ǽl is called "Class I verb". A verb which ends with -ǿl is called "Class II verb". A verb which ends with -úl is called "Class III verb".

Infinitive ending Examples
Class I -ǽl cadǽl (to open), stǽl (to write)
Class II -ǿl grǿl (to obtain), dragǿl (to bring)
Class III -úl gardúl (to walk), corúl (to read)

Verbs are conjugated to indicate tense, aspect, and mood. But there is no conjugation for grammatical person(like most of Indo-European languages).

Tenses and Aspects

There are two tenses, past tense and non-past tense(present tense). And there are three aspects, perfective and non-perfective.

They are indicated by conjugation of verb.

Present(non-past) tense
Perfective Non-perfective
Class I -æs -æi
Class II -øis -ui
Class III -yis -ui

When the verb is past tense, at first, you make "past stem" by changing verb's ending.

Infinitive Past Stem I Past Stem II
Class I -ǽl -að- -eð-
Class II -ǿl -oð- -oð-
Class III -úl -uð- -oð-

After making past stem, you will add suffix that indicates aspects.

past tense
Perfective Non-perfective
Class I I II + -æi
Class II I II + -ui
Class III I II + -ui

In this table, "I" represents "past stem I", and "II" represents "past stem II".

Adjectives

Attributive adjectives are put after nouns. The word order is [Noun + Adjective].

  • Example: vorg adyl (means “fast car”. “vorg”=”car”(noun), “adyl”=”fast”(adjective))

But when the combination of noun and adjective is treated as a proper noun, adjectives precede nouns and the word order is [Adjective + Noun].
