We tell to you a story about a man named Malero. Last winter, he was happy. His home was a tall stone building in the stony-desert near the sea. He searched for white, glassy ships and he waited. A large bird stood on his shoulder, and he tried to force it to leave, but he couldn't grab the bird. The animal held with its talons, finally, when he saw the teacher's ship. Scared, he entered the ship. The teacher greeted him with her hand. He was happy as the ship moved towards the sea. |
Grammar |
※ |
The overall syntax of Darynse is OVS. The verbs are conjugated based on politeness level and evidentiality. There are four levels of politeness in Darynese, but only one (polite) is used here. As for the evidentiality, Darynese verbs can be conjugated based on whether they are positive or negative.
The suffix -ril is used to turn a verb into a participle. This also can be used to make compound verbs (riril-tusreo (to want to pilot)) or identifying clauses (ririli-ritryn (the bird that is flying)).
Adjectives and adverbs precede the word they modify, and change ending to match the gender of the noun. These are listed in the affix section. Adverbs are left in the root forms. Note that these rules are also used on participles.
A noun is pluralized by attaching /al-/ to it as a prefix. An indirect object is indicated by the suffix /-kul/and is usually attached to the verb. A noun can be turned into an adjective (if an adjective doesn't exist already) by adding the possessive -naim.
