SVO
roots are added together to make larger words. the roots before the final root act as perminant qualities
tokipi-teacher (person (who) gives-knowledge)
tokipilu-to teach(present/future tense)
topiki-the science of giving animals away
tetonka-restaurant,meal,eating event(place/time/event (to) recieve-food)
each part of speech is determined by the particle attached at the end:
The particles are:é,én,ó,ón,tu,tun,pu,pun,lu,lun,xu
they always go after the things they are marking
mi+particles:
mi-I, we, me,my,myself,us,our
mié-I,we
mién-myself,ourselves
mió-me,us
mipu-like me, like us
mipun-like me, like us(adverb)
mión-when we,when I
mitu-to me,to us,mine,our
mitun-from me, from us
mixu-someone with the name Mi
milu-to be me
milun-to used to be me
verbs are not conjugated. you just add lu to the end of roots to make them present/future tense and lun for past tense
mié telu-I eat/I am eating/I will eat/I will be eating
mié telun-I ate/I was eating
numbers:
0-ka
1-té
2-pén
3-ké
4-lén
5-sé
6-mén
7-xé
8-yén
9-xa
numbers are made by "spelling out the numbers" and adding "son" (for decimals) in between each number then add "pu"to the final number root
7-xépu
10-té kapu (1 and 0)
279-pén xé xapu (2 and 7 and 9)
2.67-pén son mén xé pu (2 or/. 6 and 7)
20,000- pén so sépu kapu (2 and 5 0's)
Prepositions- prepositions are formed by adding "tu" to a root
patu-at the front/at the head(at the top/above)/in the beginning
pantu-behind/at the bottom(under)
etc.
Question particles
yakó-what
yikó-why
yekó-when
yokó-how
yakakó-where
yapikó-who
attach the question to the beginning of the verb
mié tonmulun matokatu yun.-I went to the grocery store(necessity-sellling-place)
yapikó tonmulun matokatu kó?- Who went to the grocery store?
yikó tonmulun matokatu kó?- Why did you go to the grocery store?
Hope that was good enough. If you have any more questions grammar-wise don't hesitate to ask.
