Grammar

Dmezk follows the SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) order and is very much like English in sentence construction (Most like Norwegian). A sample sentence is 'Dek brotsea krotszy' = I like cats, which uses a personal pronoun, I = Dek, a verb in present tense ( To like = O brotse - Like = Brotsea) and a plural noun (Cat = Krots, Cats = Krotszy)

To make a sentence negative it's a little harder than english. There is no word for 'not', there is one, but it's rarely used (Not = Enu). You have to take a statement, and add a suffix into the verbs infinitive form. For example; Dek amora nun = I love you. Dek amorenu nun = I don't love you. Note that this didn't have anything to do with the word not, enu. There is four "negative" words you can add to verbs, they are Ane, Ne, Enu, Nu.

• Verbs with Consonant-Consonant: Ane; I believe in you = Dek eufala tsa nun. I don't believe in you = Dek eufalane tsa nun.
• Verbs with Consonant-Vowel: Ne; I'm working hard = Dek lokya po. I'm not working hard = Dek lokyne po.
• Verbs with Vowel-Consonant: Enu; I'm looking forward to tomorrow = Dek ayara dek an mofazar. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow = Dek ayarenu dek an mofazar.
• Verbs with Vowel-Vowel: Nu; I'm getting a puppy = Dek ejatsua manubmed. I'm not getting a puppy = Dek ejatsunu manubmed.

Now you can make, nearly every, sentence negative, indstead of trying to remember which has consonant and which has consonant, try to remember every word negative in itself, so you know that exact word negative, then it's easier and it will just pop up in your head.

What's the negative of Amor? Ehm, that's vowel-consonant, so it must be... WRONG! What's the negative of Amor? Amor is Amorenu! I remember that... CORRECT!
