Grammar
Nouns
Aryezi nouns are declined into eight cases. Aryezi nouns can also take on five different numbers. Aryezi nouns lack gender or other classification aspects. Nouns utilize the copula "ra", which acts like a verb.
Cases
- Long vowels such as a, i, e, o, u contract to short vowels ä, ï, ë, ö, ü when something is suffixed to the word.
- Cases, except for the Nominative and Prepositional are usually dropped in casual spoken Aryezi.
Aryezi nouns decline into eight cases:
1.Nominative (subject): -a ending
2.Accusative (direct object): -o ending
3.Dative (indirect object): -öi ending
4.Genitive (possessive): -u ending
5.Instrumental: -i ending
- this is used in a variety of manners. It can describe by means of, and the abstract "in" (in pain, in English)
6.Locative: -ai ending
- this is used for anything regarding location or movement, both spatial and temporal and is used for to, at, in, from, till, etc.
7.Vocative: -ao ending
8.Prepositional: -e ending
- this is a very useful case. It can be used when connecting nouns to other nouns to create a supernoun, when indicating "and", when adding suffixes to nouns to change their meaning such as "-ism", when indicating a preposition like "if" or "with", the verb suffix or the adjective suffix.
Number
Aryezi nouns have five numbers.
1.Singular: all nouns are by default singular and no change is needed.
2.Dual: -l is suffixed to noun in all case endings.
3.Plural: -n is suffixed to noun in all case endings.
4.Zero: -r is suffixed to noun in all case endings.
5. Infinite: -m is suffixed to noun in all case endings.
Adjectives
Adjectives are not declined by case, number, or gender and do not need to agree with the nouns they modify. Adjectives are modified in tense and positivity via the addition of the copula "la" which acts like a verb. However, adjectives have three forms:
1.Adjective: -a ending
- adjectives in this form modify nouns and describe things.
2.Adverb: -u ending
- all Aryezi adverbs are derived from adjectives (so ones based on nouns must by converted to adjectives first). Adverbs modify verbs.
3. Connective: -i ending
- this is used when combining adjectives to make superadjectives, when combining an adjective with a
noun to create a noun with a different shade of meaning, when indicating "and", when adding suffixes to adjectives to change their meaning, and when indicating the addition of a preposition like "if".
Verbs
All Aryezi verbs end in -a in the present, -u in the past and -ë in the future. Verbal moods are affixed to the standard neutral mood in the present tense (with the -a changing to -ä as long vowels become short vowels when suffixed), thereby becoming new verbs (with the exception of the connective). Consequently they change tense in their respective moods. Moods can be built on to each other was well.
Verbs have eight moods:
1.Conditional (if):-pa ending
2.Imperative (command):- ta ending
3.Potential (to be able):-ka ending
4.Subjunctive (should, may):-ga ending
5.Energetic:-da ending
6.Optative (want):-za ending
7.Causative:-ba ending
8.Connective:-ca ending (sha)
- has a variety of purposes. It can indicate "and", and is used when verb is suffixed to change its meaning by adding shades of meaning, conversion to a noun, and the aspects of passivity, progression, and perfection. Unlike the other moods, the connective cannot change tense as tense is determined by the tense of what it is connected to.
- Negation: verbs are negated by adding -na to their basic forms in any tense
Script
Aryezi uses its own script, a phonetic alphabet known as the Aryezi Script.
