As of 19/06/09, the Dalcurian case system is currently being revised and will be back very shortly.
back to main page
Dalcurian does not have a case system per se (pronouns inflect for nom/acc). The language is predominantley word order based. However, there is a case for double genitives, and although possession is not strictly a case, we'll cover that here too.
Possession
Dalcurian possession is very straight forward in that it's formed with the preposition qve-of and an accusative pronoun (or simply a noun). The following examples equate to the use of a possessive adjective, such as my, our, your etc in English:
- di abödä qve binöra my house
- di gadöraj qve diöra your dog
- di flästa vötöj qve mæöra his new car
Possessive pronouns such as mine, ours, his etc, as with possessive adjectives do not exist in Dalcurian, thus one cannot say that's mine, it's ours etc; a noun will always be present in a possessive sentence:
- Vehiri? gehör séÞa vötöj. TaÞ di vötöj qve binöra. Who's is this car? It's my car (or can be unliterally translated as it's mine)
