What little is known about the language's grammar has been taken from a single mailing-list post from 2002, in which the creator said:
Very little is known about the grammar of Adin, but some information has survived in the web. See [https://groups.google.com/group/alt.language.artificial/tree/browse_frm/month/2002-10/d430c59e91a5bec0?rnum=171&_done=/group/alt.language.artificial/browse_frm/month/2002-10?&hl=az this] post.
 
"My conlang, Adin, conjugates almost every form of the verb, imperative
included. To make an imperative form in Adin, you take the Basic Form of the
Verb and add "-[e]nd", this making the general equivalent of "must" or "have
to".  
 
1) Ji tolend.  
He deceive-must.  
 
To get the equivalent of the second one could use the imperative of "to be",
or use the "-endoi" suffix. Thus you could have:
 
2a) Ji toletol anend.
He deceiving be-must.  
 
2b) Ji toletolendoi.  
He deceiving-surely-is. "


However, this snippet probably refers to an earlier form of the language.
