Rising tone rising tone

Makes a noun phrase out of the first slot of a verb:

pỏq = ___ is a person => póq = "the person(s)"

cả = ___ causes ___ => cá "the cause(s)"

If a noun for the second slot is needed, use mú and the verb form of the word.

cả => mú cả "the thing(s) that was caused"

Rising-creaky tone rising-creaky tone

Attaches a relative clause to a preceding noun.

Inside the phrase, hóa refers to the noun attached to. cy ends the clause.

  • póq düa hóa cy = "the people who know"
  • níaı mäı hóa jí cy = "the animal who loves me"
  • níaı mäı jí hóa cy = "the animal whom I love"

cy is not necessary if the word that immediately follows can terminate the content clause. For example, cy is not needed before da because da already ends the sentence.

Falling tone falling tone

Main verb.

  • Mảı jí súq da. = "I love you."

Also marks any non-initial word in a serial. In serials (think "unit" of words), only the first word of the serial changes tone. The rest stays in falling tone. In the example below, only the word kúo changes to rising tone. The remaining kảto is in falling tone.

Peaking tone rising-falling tone

  • ôcha jí cy = "that I am human"
  • Dủa jí ôcha jí cy da. = "I know that I am human."
  • Keo shảo jí nîaı jí cy da. = "But I want to be an animal."

cy is not always needed for the same reason as the rising-creaky tone rising-creaky tone.

Mid-falling tone mid-falling tone

A preposition, which makes an adverbial with the following noun phrase.

It can go before or after the arguments to the main verb.

  • nèo míao = "on the moon"

sa cỉe a/some fish
tu cỉe every fish
sıa cỉe no fish
ke cỉe the fish
baq cỉe fish (in general)
hı cỉe which fish?

  • Gỉ ro hủı baq hảq da. = "Food is either good or bad."
