# Parts of Speech This chapter describe behaviors of different parts of speech that can't be just simply ported from German, mostly morphology. ## Noun While having the same number of cases and gender, Isanercent has less noun patterns compared to German (only four): - plosive ending (e.g. *ki Bǔt*, house) - sonorant and vowel ending (e.g. *ke Tann*, table) - fricative (e.g. *ka Münsch*, mouse) In plural form, the first vowel is umlauted - plosive ending: add a schwa: *kuu Bütte* - sonorant ending: add an -en ending: *kuu Tännen* - fricative ending: add a -er ending: *kuu Münscher* Just like in German, those ending in -e and -er are weak and is added -n in dative case and accusative case, e.g. *kum Bütten*, *kur Münschern*. ## Verb ### Verb ending | iir | -(e)s | | nii | -(e)st | | ba | -(e)t | | e/saa/ci | -(e) | | vi/scho/su | -(e)nt | ### Participles - past: circumfix da-V-et - present: suffix -ang ## Adjective Because I'm lazy, adjective ending is the same as in German ## Pronoun | case | I | thou | he | she | it | we | ye | you | they | |------------|------|------|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-------|------| | nominative | iir | nii | e | saa | ci | vi | ba | scho | suu | | accusative | mic | nic | em | sam | ci | vus | ban | schan | sum | | dative | miir | niir | en | sar | cen | vim | bam | schim | sur | | genitive | mar | nar | sas | san | cas | vis | bas | sches | sus | ## Articles Isanercent articles are a bit saner than German counterparts, with separate articles for feminine and plural nouns. - nominative - masculine: *ke* - neuter: *ki* - feminine: *ka* - plural: *kuu* - accusative: - masculine: *kem* - neuter: *ki* - feminine: *kam* - plural: *kum* - dative - masculine/neuter: *ken* - feminine: *kar* - plural: *kur* - genitive - masculine/neuter: *kes* - feminine: *kan* - plural: *kus* ## Preposition TODO: translate these - Accusative - bis - durch - entlang (postposition) - für - gegen - je - ohne - um - wider - Dative - aus - außer - bei - dank - gegenüber - gemäß - laut - mit - nach - seit - von - zu - Genitive - anstatt - statt - außerhalb - innerhalb - jenseits - diesseits - seitens - während - wegen - mithilfe - würdig - anhand - Accusative or dative - an - auf - hinter - in - neben - über - unter - vor - zwischen
