Verbs
Verbs always end with [a]. They can be both transitive and intransitive, however they are never bi-transitive. Inside a sentence, verbs can be chained in a following manner: SV¹O¹V²O²…
As an example, let's introduce following words:
| Word | Definition |
|---|
- ako - I; me
- saya - to be located at; to exist (at)
- domo - home; house
- moka - eat; drink; consume
- supu - soup; stew; any liquid food
Using them, we can create a following sentence:
Ako moka supu saya domo - I eat soup at home (lit. I eat soup be-in home)
Important thing to notice is that while the natural translation suggests a usage of preposition (at home), the actual part of speech used is a verb. More literally this sentence could be translated as (and is equal in meaning to): "I eat soup and am at home"
