Sentence structure

Tıu, (So,) ba. (wish)
Nhu, (Anyway,) nha. (promise)

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.

  • Mảı jí kúo kảto da. = "I love the black cat."

Peaking tone rising-falling tone

Starts a content clause, terminated by cy.

  • 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"
  • Kỏy jí súq nèo míao. = "I talk to you on the moon."
  • Mảı jí súq kùı pâı súq jí. = "I love you because you are my friend."

Falling creaky tone falling creaky tone

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

  • dãı = "possibly"
  • Chỉ hó hóq dãı da. = "They possibly believe it."

Neutral tone neutral tone

Used for function words like illocutions or determiners. Pronounced as any tonal "break" with the contour of the last word.

Determiners

Combine with a verb to make a "determiner phrase".

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?

Or you can omit the verb: sa = "something", sıa = "nothing"…

Conjunctions

Logical conjunctions connect any parts of speech, with a "logic and/or/xor" meaning:

  • Gỉ ra dẻ baq kảto da. = "Cats are good and/or beautiful."
  • Gỉ ro hủı baq hảq da. = "Food is either good or bad."
  • Rẻı súq ru jí múao. = "You and I surround the tree." (Both I do, and you do.)

roı is special, and combines nouns it connects:

  • Rẻı súq roı jí múao. = "You and I (together) surround the tree."

rı is used in questions:

  • Kảqgaı súq káto rı kúne moq? = "Do you see a cat or a dog?"

Quotations and names

Quotations start with mo and end with teo.

mı is placed before a name.

If you are addressing someone, hu should be added before the name.

  • Hu mí Hỏemaı, lả hỉo ka = "Hello, Hoemaı".

Remember to add some separation between the name and the following sentence with lả or something similar.

Asking questions

moq is the illocution for asking questions.

mả can be used to ask a yes/no question.

  • Mỉ Hỏemaı súq da. = "You are Hoemaı."
  • Mả mỉ Hỏemaı súq moq? = "Are you Hoemaı?"

hı 'what, which', tıopuı 'how many' may be used to ask non-yes/no questions. Note that hı is a determiner.

Tỉ súq hı rảı moq ?
at you which thing INT ?
"Where are you?"
Tỉsha súq rào hı moq ?
