Sentence Structure
Here are some useful facts about the sentence structure of Raxianese.
- Sentences are composed starting with a tense, either Adardor, Adardo, Adard or Adar.
- The tense is followed by a verb/question, then an object, animal, person, etc.
- This is followed by Time and Place in that order, but they are optional.
- There is no Raxianese word for "is" or any variation of it, but "is the" is "Urka".
- The vowel A must be put at the start of the latter word if two constants are next to each other between words. This is always including a prefix. This does not apply between sentences.
