# 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

| pronoun    | suffix |
|------------|--------|
| 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

articles for feminine and plural nouns.
