Sentence Structure
1 min read · 151 words
Any sentence is structured along what one might call the ´cardinal vowels´, which are all 5 vowels if used singularily. Each vowel represents a specific function and comes before any word that is to be categorized accordingly.
Words are therefore not modified or conjugated or in any way else modulated, but determined in their precise meaning according to the chosen category. The same word can change its function/meaning from noun to verb by changing the respective cardinal vowel.
/a/ for example denotes nouns and substantives, while /e/ denotes verbs and processes. Take the word /mela/ for example. If one where to say "a mela / amela", it would mean "(the) Plant)", while "e mela / emela" would mean "(to) plant".
/i/ denotes primarily adjectives, /o/ primarily adverbs and prepositions, and /u/ primarily personifications and names.
Example: "I see the Plant, Lili" - "amaesafoamelaulili/ a ma e safo a mela u lili"
