+# Parts of Speech
+
+This section concerns the main parts of speech and how they are used.
+Note that it does not discuss how they are ordered, which is the content of [Syntax].
+
+In this section as well as [Syntax], there will be glosses, indicating how the
+sentences are constructed.
+
+They are written as quotes, in following order:
+
+- Romanization (in bold)
+- Gloss
+- English translation (in italic)

+# Noun
+
+## Cases
+
+### Nominative
+
+The nominative is used for the subject of a sentence and for vocative.
+
+It is also used as predicative for some verbs:
+
+- wítzy (be)
+- voïczy (become)
+
+TODO: add examples
+
+### Accusative
+
+Accusative case is used for direct object.
+
+TODO: add examples
+
+### Ablative
+
+Ablative case is used to express the motion away from something
+
+TODO: add examples
+
+### Dative
+
+Dative case is used to express the motion to a location, or being at the
+location (locative).  The meaning is determined by whether the verb takes
+object or not.
+
+TODO: add examples
+
+### Genitive
+
+Genitive case is used to express possession or relation.
+
+> **cibansy wítar súngsa fènci**  
+> this-nom.sg be.ind.prs.cnt book-nom.wo.sg I-gen.ea.sg  
+> *This is my book.*
+> 
+> **cisúngsa wítar fènci**  
+> this-book-nom.wo.sg be.ind.prs.cnt I-gen.ea.sg  
+> *This book is mine.*
+
+*Relations* also include relations constructed by postposition.
+
+> **tènze vamá fèncu chát**  
+> he-nom.fi.sg stay-ind.fut.prf I-gen.wa.sg with  
+> *He will stay with me.*
+>
+> **vifar bissy wócci mèng**  
+> stand-ind.prs.cnt man-nom.sg shop-gen.ea.sg (in front of)  
+> *There is a man standing in front of the shop.*
+
+Genitive is also used for family name, which is placed before the given name.
+
+## Gender
+
+### Individuals
+
+Nouns' gender are arbitrarily assigned, based on the philosophy.
+Generally, it is quite intuitive, for example, (tree), (seed), (wood) are wood.
+However, there are some cases it is unclear, like (liver) being wood, and even
+counter-intuitive, like (flower) being fire.
+This is because liver is is controlled by wood in the philosophy,
+and flower represents the outburst state which matches more with fire.
+
+For people, gender is determined by their date of birth (people born in wood
+months are wood).  For people who can use magic, their magic affinity is their
+gender.
+
+### Mixed groups
+
+The gender of a group of objects with different genders is determined by the *majority*
+group.  The majority group is defined as the group with:
+
+- more than half of the group
+- has more than 10 members, if any other group has more than one member.
+
+## Number
+
+- singular: zero or one
+- several: two to ten, inclusive
+- plural: more than ten

+# Pronoun
+
+Pronouns are nominal anaphora, that is, short words that are used to refer to a
+noun or a noun phrase.  Pronouns usually have nominal morphology, though not
+strictly.  Pronoun is a closed class.
+
+## Personal pronouns
+
+There are 15 personal pronouns in total.  Dual pronouns and 1st person
+inclusive pronouns are in fact formed by compounding others.
+
+| person | singular | dual     | several | plural   |
+|--------|----------|----------|---------|----------|
+| 1st    | fènsy    | fènvynsỳ | jaächsỳ | rèëchsý  |
+| 1st (inclusive) | | fèndynsỳ | jaächdynsỳ | rèëchdynsý |
+| 2nd    | tènsy    | tèndynsỳ | néëcsỳ  | ngeënsý  |
+| 3rd    | lúcsy    | lúccynsỳ | bóönsỳ  | waanjsý  |
+
+### Reflexive
+
+Reflexive pronouns occur as clitic.  They are formed by removing the gender
+vowel and number tone from corresponding personal pronoun.
+
+> **fènsu fèngòngàr zápmỳfo**  
+> I-nom.wo.sg I-acc-look-ind.pst.cnt mirror-dat.mt.sg  
+> *I was looking at myself in the mirror.*
+
+It also works for indirect object:
+
+> **tènsa tènfnìchá púürijinsechne**  
+> he-nom.wo.sg he-dat-buy-ind.fut.prf birthday-gift-acc.fi.sg  
+> *He'll just buy himself a birthday gift.*
+
+There is a difference between reflexive and reciprocal for plural pronouns.
+
+> **lúccynsỳ lúcnmeërá'ar**  
+> you-nom.dual you-acc.sg-love-ind.prs.cnt  
+> *You love yourselves*
+>
+> **lúccynsỳ lúccyǹmeërá'ar**  
+> you-nom.dual you-acc.dual-love-ind.prs.cnt  
+> *You love each other.*
+
+Note: there is also a idiomatic use of reflexive pronouns:
+
+> **fènsu fèncwítar**
+> I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-be.ind.prs.cnt  
+> *I am alone.*
+>
+> **fènsu fèncbochar ringyno**  
+> I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-repair.ind.pst.prf vehicle-acc.mt.sg  
+> *I fixed the car myself.*
+
+## Indefinite pronouns
+
+These are indefinite pronouns in Hàäsdáïga:
+
+- hipsy: somewhen
+- vàtsy: somewhere
+- cotsy: somehow
+- bansy: someone
+- wón: which
+
+Construction of other [pro-forms][pro-forms] are totally regular:
+
+- It is interrogative when its verb is in interrogative mood.
+- Its proximity is determined by a determiner prefix: *ci* (this) *la* (that)
+- So are *any*, *all/every*, *other*, with *zòt*, *rýnj*, *púch*, respectively.
+- Negative forms are formed by negating the "all/every" form. See [Negation].
+- The equivalent relative pronouns is unchanged.
+
+[pro-forms]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-form

+# Verb
+
+## Tense
+
+There are 3 tenses: past, present, and future.  They are used according to
+time.
+
+### Reported speech
+
+Unlike in English and some other languages, tense is not propagated in reported speech.
+Instead, the tense is relative to the time spoken.
+For example, if John said to Mary "I will meet you at noon" and now
+is after that, you would say:
+
+>
+> John-nom.sg Mary-dat.sg say-ind.pst.prf `<sub>` he-nom.sg her-acc.sg meet-ind.pst.prf
+> noon-dat.fi.sg  
+> *John told Mary he would meet her at noon.*
+
+If the future is indefinite, it will stays in the future, whether the event has
+happened or not.
+
+> 
+> he-nom.fi.sg believe-ind.pst.cont `<sub>` she-nom.ea.sg back-come-ind.fut.prf,
+> that-acc.sg she-nom.ea.sg do.ind.pst.prf  
+> *He believed she would come back, and she did.*
+
+### Narration
+
+Narration is always present tense, even when the story obviously happened in the past.
+
+## Mood
+
+- indicative: the action actually occurs
+- interrogative: the action is in the question
+- imperative: the action is a command
+- subjunctive: the action does not happens, and usually used in conditional or wish
+- ritual: the action is the intend of the spellcaster
+
+Ritual mood is also used for cursing and profanity.  In such case, the gender
+affix is removed so the speaker does not accidentally cast the actual curse.
+Because cursing is quite literal for Hàäsdáïga speakers, it is never used in
+the same manner as in the modern society.
+
+## Aspect
+
+- habitual: the action happens repeatedly in the period of time
+- continuous: the action or the state persists over the duration
+- perfective: the action happens once and finished
