== Pronouns ==

Pronouns decline the same way as nouns, with a stem for each person. They can use all cases, numbers, and genders (gender distinction is usually only used in the third person).

1st person: m- (ex: me = I/me, men = our/ours)

2nd person: t- (ex: tes = y'all, té = to you)

3rd person: l- (ex: lo = he/him, lui = its)

"4th" person: g- (ex: ge = someone, goi = any man's)

Reflexive: s- (ex: sa = herself, sen = their own)

== Adjectives ==

Add an -i- after the stem, then put in the ending. Adjectives must agree with their head nouns in case, number, and gender. For example, "o homo felízio" means "the happy man" and "málias mátras" means "bad mothers".

== Verbs ==

Verbs conjugate according to 4 tenses (perfect, preterite, present, future), 2 numbers (singular/plural), 2 persons (1st person/other), 2 moods (indicative/jussive), 2 voices (active/passive), and 2 aspects in the active voice (perfective/imperfective).

Note: Perfective does not exactly align with the perfect tense in English. Perfective future means "will be done", perfective present means "is done now", ~~preterite~~ past means "has been done", and perfective perfect means "had been done".

Note: Perfective does not exactly align with the perfect tense in English. Perfective future means "will be done", perfective present means "is done now", perfective past means "has been done", and perfective perfect means "had been done".
