Noun Genders
1 min read · 182 words
There are 5 genders in Chloquish:
Male (for animals, bugs, and humans)
Female (for animals, bugs, and humans)
Plant (does not include fruits and vegetables)
Consumables (food, drinks, medicine, etc)
Objects/Buildings (self-explanatory)
To convey each of these genders, you simply put certain phrases before the word.
You may notice that Chloquiana has 11 letters, and Chloquish has 16. Those extra 5 letters are used in the gender phrases.
Wo: Male
Hu: Female
Ta: Plant
Pe: Consumables
Yi: Objects/buildings
This way, you automatically know what category the word fits into because of the gender phrases.
Adjectives, verbs, and all other parts of speech do NOT change regardless of the noun's gender.
Chloquish also has stricter word order than Chloquiana, so you don't really get as many options.
So an example of a sentence may look like this:
"Ai amob pe coceb-mic!"
Even if you don't know what coceb-mic means, you can tell it's a consumable based off of "pe" so it helps you narrow it down.
If the noun starts with the same letter the marker ends with, then you change it accordingly.
