* <sup>1</sup> '''Twák''', has a more extended meaning than its English translation ''work''. It encompasses a meaning of ''things to do'', and also ''housework'', ''matters''
* <sup>2</sup> The verb '''esor''', ''to have'' as seen in the grammar page, has an highly irregular conjugation, by comparison with other Lantian verbs, and its construction is very different from the English one. The owned thing becomes the subject, ''nominative case'', of the sentence, and the possessor is in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of possession'' (even if possession is usually expressed by ''genitive''). So the difference is deep, because what it's the object in English, it comes to be the subject of the Lantian sentence, and the English subject loses its primary role and turns into a indirect object. You should pay attention at this, expecially when another sentence is linked to a main sentence with this verb, and you have to remember that the verb has to agree with its new subject, the owned thing.
:* ''Mr. Petru has a car'' - '''awto ona lásta Petruja és'''
:* ''I have two dogs'' - '''bóget kija esuke'''
* <sup>3</sup> '''ivná''' never has a negative meaning. Its only single translation is ''ever''. To translate ''never'', this word must be linked with the negative particle '''ét''' (''not''), which always follows it before the verb.
:* ''Have you ever been in Italy?'' - '''Itáliajot ivná ervec?'''
:* ''I've never been there'' - '''Kájot ivná ét ervu'''
* <sup>4</sup> The verb '''wámor''' (''to call'') and its compounds, like '''páwámor''' (''to call by phone''), support the ''dative case'' to show the called thing/person: '''toja tepáwámesu''' - ''I'll call you''. Nevertheless the verb has a normal passive counterpart.
* <sup>5</sup> The verb '''málor''' (''to like'') has a different construction from its English counterpart. The liked thing/person becomes the subject, ''nominative case'', of the sentence, and the thing/persons, who likes, goes in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of pleasure''. You should pay attention at this, expecially when another sentence is linked to a main sentence with this verb, and you have to remember that the verb has to agree with its new subject, the liked thing. (In many languages of the world, the verb ''to like'' behaves in this way, so it won't be difficult to learn):
:* ''I like you'' - '''To kija málec'''
:* ''Her parents don't like me'' - '''Hijunečun lájačanetu ét málu'''
* <sup>6</sup> The verb '''caduč''' (''to ask'') has a different construction from its English counterpart. The thing, which is asked for, becomes the direct object, ''accusative case'', of the sentence, and the person who is asked, goes in ''dative case'', a construction called ''dative of request''. The subject remains the same:
:* ''I ask you for help'' - '''Toja twákwo cadžu'''
* <sup>7</sup> The reflexive pronoun ('''sí''') shows that the action of the verbs falls on the subject of the action itself, like the English reflexive pronouns (''myself, yourself''..). But there are many more reflexive verbs in Lantian than in English, because many of them are translated in English with a different construction, like '''sijo púnemor''', expressed in English with ''to get dressed''. It has a reflexive meaning because it is thought as ''I put a dress on myself'', i.e. ''I dress myself''.
