Vethari has a Dependent-Marking morphology, as well as not being syncretic on both nouns and verbs. It also has a Five-way contrast demonstrative system.

=== Verbs ===

Vethari verbs are constructed by a series of affixes put together with the verb root to form the form. When auxiliary verbs are used, they are put before the verb. The infinitive is the verb root + -ku. The participle is made by putting “fnu” before the verb. When doing the past ~~perfect~~, “fnu” is put after the conjugation of Gusu(to have). When with (*), it means that it must have the affix.

To do the Aorist Participle and Future or Present Participle, “fnu” needs to be before the verb whose participle will be made. When with (*), it means that it must have the affix.

=== Relative ~~and Independent~~ Clauses ===

=== Relative Clauses ===

Relative clauses, which are demarcated with the particle ''jau'' also serve to emphasize the subject on the clause, for example: “Me ''that'' went there yesterday” instead of just “I went there yesterday”. Also serve to exclaim that something was on purpose, whether the speaker’s assumption is correct or not. Relative clauses use Relative Pronouns.
