In talking about nouns, it is essential to state the basics of nouns in the language of Musmeh. At first, nouns do not have gender, but have case to them. The case in which nouns fall into is rather simple and straight-forward. My demonstrating word will be kečat (meaning dog). The default or dictionary form of a word is always in the nominative singular. | |||
Nominative | |||
Singular: kečat | |||
Plural: kečati | |||
Genitive | |||
Singular: kečatu | |||
Plural: kečatun | |||
Accusative | |||
Singular: kečaten | |||
Plural: kečatenen | |||
As you may not have noticed endings are put regardless the last letter of the word. | |||
Some prepositions that might be useful: | |||
With – behet | |||
For – hamaţ | |||
To – vёx | |||
On -- boyengaç | |||
== Verbs || Balti == | |||
The verbs in Musmeh follow a distinct structure. First, when written in a dictionary form, every verb is written in its infinitive form. The verb that we will use to demonstrate is ezmakur meaning to feel. As you see, the ur is the infinitive stem adding the “to” preposition to the meaning, its pretty straightforward. | |||

Imperfect – a similar structure to English exists, the word is formated as a present tense word, but the perfect form of the word “to be” is placed before the verb (as a separate word) respectively. | |||
Future – a similar structure to English exists, the word is formated as a present tense word, but the future form of the word “to be” is placed before the verb (as a separate word) respectively. | |||

Possessive Pronouns: | |||
The construction of possessive pronouns is a simple task. | |||
Let’s say you have the pronoun dun (you). To make it possessive you have to add the ça ending thus making it dunça (yours). You perform the same task to the other pronouns respectively. | |||
== Style, Numbers, and More || Fenţar, Hamashliki, ё Gonţar == | |||
A typical sentence follows the same word order as English, subject – verb – adjective. However, word order in speech is free to an extent. | |||
The boy was late. | |||
Daxa vot sonvan. | |||
Here is a scenario, you have a question stating, do you eat? Since the “do” is a question word here (its behind the subject) you would use the infinitive form. However if the question states was, you do eat, the form of do would conform to “you.” | |||
In negating a question, I do not speak Musmeh, you would had a “na” after the “do” to negate it. | |||
It is important to realize that in the few cases like “vёs” where vowels are lacking, “ё” is required to be inserted so pronounciation is constant. Once you see enough examples, you will be more aquainted in the certain situations where “ё” is used. | |||
Punctuation: | |||
The punctuation in Musmeh is period(.), comma(,), exclamation point (!), question mark (?). However, in the plural genetive there is a (‘) sign to the last letter of that noun. | |||
