===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
