Negation and Agentive Rule

Droganzhii follows a Subject-Negative-Verb-Participle order for negative statements. The word Net (not) is placed directly before the verb. For example, "I am not going" is "Du sol net ganat". The word Ne (no) functions separately as a standalone denial or refusal rather than a sentence modifier. Dragons will commonly drop the first person subject pronoun from a negative statement when the subject is themselves, as it is considered implied. So a dragon saying "I am not going" would more naturally say "Sol net ganat", omitting Du entirely. This applies to any statement of personal agreement or assertion, not just negative ones, however this is mainly used informally. In Droganzhii, verbs are converted into nouns describing the actor (the agent) using a suffix-based system designed for phonetic fluidity. For Verbs ending in a consonant, for example Qiin "buy", youll add "-ii" making it Qiinii "Buyer". If it ends in a vowel like Seva "close", you'll add "-nii" making it Sevanii "Closer".
