+===Adjectives===
+Adjectives in Vairish do not inflect at all
+===Copulae===
+Vairish has multiple deictic copulae, that are used depending on the proximity to the object.
+; äo
+: ''äo'' is the proximal copula, it is used to describe an object close to the speaker
+; i
+: ''i'' is the descriptive copula, it is used when the object doesn't have a specific distance to the speaker.
+; rëi
+: ''rëi'' is the medial copula, it is used when the object is close to the listener
+; kärui
+: ''kärui'' is the distal copula, it is used when describing an object far away from both the speaker and listener
+===Correlatives===
+Like Ancient Greek and Esperanto, Vairish also has a correlative system, based on 4 roles and 9 "qualifiers".
+====Roles====
+The correlative's role is what indicates the function that it fulfills. Here are 4 roles of the correlatives :
+; Negative
+: The negative role corresponds to adding "no"/"not" before the qualifier
+; Interrogative
+: The interrogative role more or less corresponds to English interrogative pronouns
+; Universal
+: The universal role corresponds to adding "every" before the qualifier
+; Indefinite
+: The indefinite role corresponds to adding "some" before the qualifier
+====Qualifiers====
+The qualifier of a correlative specifies the type of question it addresses or the kind of information it conveys. There are 9 qualifiers :
+;Reason
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "why", indicating a cause or explanation.
+;Time
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "when", indicating a point or period in time.
+;Individual
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "who", referring to a person or entity.
+;Object
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "what", reffering to an object
+;Place
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "where", reffering to locations
+;Amount
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "how much", reffering to quantities
+;Manner
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "how", indicating ways or methods
+;Frequency
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "how often", reffering to regularity or recurrence
+;Direction
+:This qualifier corresponds to the question word "which direction", indicating movement and orientation
+====Table====

+==Syntax==
+===Word order===
+The most used word orders are VSO and SOV, even though VOS is also used to indicate a passive-like construction, and might also be used to replace the inverse marker.
+For exemple : "karë ronän čenitaa" and "čenita ronän karë" both mean "The citizen looks at the king", but the second sentence doesn't need an inverse marker.
