Masc - ''a tree''
 
Ézek - ''a bottle''
 
Pívot - ''a dog''
 
Ersc - ''a girl''
 
 
'''The definite article - Bílit Tcéret'''

U Pívot - ''the dog''
 
Uz Ersc - ''the girl''
 
 
If there is a word (numeral, adjective, etc.) in between the article and the noun, than the article noun/consonant rule agrees with the adjective, not the noun:
 
Uz áscunit Pívot - ''the brown dog''
 
U páve Érsce - ''the three girls''
 
 
The definite article is seldom used, much less than in English, it is used mostly for emphasis.

Nouns - Blimtce

Gender - Plíem

Nouns are either human or neuter. Neuter encompasses everything that is not human. The main difference between the genders is how they interact with modifiers (numerals, adjectives, etc). Human nouns have a singular and plural form, while neuter nouns don’t. When counting neuters a counter word must be used, but not for human. The plural form of human nouns is formed by adding the suffix -e:


An Pádar - one father

An-jun Sémor - one sheet of paper (jun is the counter for flat objects)

Bit Scápore - two teachers

Bit-kun Pétcor - two cups (kun is the counter for vessels for liquids)

Páve Pádare - three fathers

Páve-jun Sémor - three sheets of paper
