Chick Corean grammar is mostly analytic and SVO.

===Nouns===

Chick Corean nouns do not inflect for number but take possessive prefixes for ''inalienable'' possession. ~~Definite articles exist for~~ various ~~noun classes~~, ~~inflect~~ in singular and plural forms, and take possessive prefixes. ~~Articles~~ with possessive prefixes mark ''alienable'' possession.

Chick Corean nouns do not inflect for number but take possessive prefixes for ''inalienable'' possession. Chick Corean has various classifiers, which mark definiteness, come in singular and plural forms, and take possessive prefixes. Classifiers with possessive prefixes mark ''alienable'' possession.

Inalienable possession is most commonly used for family members, body parts and inherent properties but may used for other nuances as well, ~~such as "unique possession"~~. ~~As an example~~, ''veotijin'~~' 'my proof~~' (using inalienable possession) ~~might imply that~~ I am the one who proved the theorem~~, whereas ''vaem eotijin'' (with alienable possession) would carry no such overtones~~.

Inalienable possession is most commonly used for family members, body parts and inherent properties but may used for other nuances as well. As an example, ''vaem eotijin'' (with alienable possession) would be the usual way of saying 'my proof' (i.e. the proof that I devised of a mathematical statement), while ''veotijin'' (using inalienable possession) suggests a more special or unique relationship, e.g. I am the one who first proved the theorem.
