This is where we'll put proposed and approved sentences in Naeso, exemplifying the uses of words and suffixes and grammatical structures.

If something hasn't yet been voted in, but you use it here anyway, please please please link to the relevant vote.

glossing

If you're not sure how to format a sentence gloss, see the Leipzig Glossing Rules.

The following abbreviations are Naeso-specific and don't appear in the Leipzig list.

  • MB — morpheme boundary
  • INC — inceptive aspect
  • NEW — someone who has just joined the conversation (as in pae)
  • OLD — someone who has been part of the conversation for a while (as in tha)
  • T — temporal preposition
