# Parts of Speech

This chapter describe behaviors of different parts of speech that can't be just
simply ported from French and German, mostly morphology.

## Noun

Like French, Isanercent nouns has 2 genders and no cases.
Isanercent has German-esque noun endings, but it works like French: only plural
is marked with -(e)r.  If the noun is objects (whether
<abbr lang="fr" title="complément d'objet indirect">COI</abbr> or
<abbr lang="fr" title="complément d'objet direct">COD</abbr>), it gains an
extra -n, similar to how German nouns work in accusative and dative case.

The noun's gender is the same as in German.

Compound nouns are also made by concatenation like in German instead of
chaining with preposition.

## Adjective

Generally, the ending is:

|          | masculine | feminine |
|----------|-----------|----------|
| singular | no prefix | -a       |
| plural   | -(e)n     | -an      |

## Pronoun

| pronoun | subject | COI | COD | possessive |
|---------|---------|-----|-----|------------|
| I       | iir     | mi  | min | mis-       |
| thou    | nii     | ni  | nin | nis-       |
| he      | ce      | ce  | cen | ces-       |
| she     | za      | zi  | zin | zis-       |
| it      | ci      | cin | cin | cis-       |
| we      | vi      | vim | cim | vis-       |
| ye      | chii    | chi | chin| chis-      |
| you     | scho    |schan|schim| sches-     |
| they.n  | suu     | sim | sim | suus-      |
| they.m  | see     | sem | sem | sees-      |
| they.f  | saa     | sam | sam | saas-      |

Possessives have endings like adjective.

### Impersonal pronouns

| French | Isanercent |
|--------|------------|
| se     | sich       |
| y      | wiise      |

| chii       | -(e)t  |
| vi         | -ons   |
| scho       | -etse  |
| suu/see/saa| -(e)nt |

### Participles
