Seuna sentence structure
From FrathWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The basic sentence structure is SVO. However if the S is indefinite, it immediately follows the verb.
The naked object is indefinite. To make it definite the affix -s is added. This suffix is only used with objects.
The affix -s is one of two inflections added to nouns. The other is -n which can be said to be locative case.
What some languages do with a complex case system, Seuna does with serial-verbs and prepositions.
Some common prepositions
o = w.r.t.
e = dative case
Other small words
i = and
Other small bits
u- = un-
-ɘ = serial verb marker = object incorporating marker
Examples
lari kludas e jene = I gave the book to Janet lari jene kludas = I gave Janet the book.
