Cukish language: Difference between revisions

==Grammar==

Cukish is a [[wikipedia:Inflection|flexive language]], and hence verbs have conjugation, and nouns, adjectives and pronouns are marked with grammatical number and case. There may be occasional gender marks in words taken from Impelanzan or Staynish.

===Nouns===

===Adjectives===

===Personal suffixes===

Unlike other languages as Impelanzan and Staynish, Cukish does not use pronouns to mark possession or relation to a person. The genitive case exists in personal pronouns, but it is not usual and it is rather used with an emphatic purpose. Instead, Cukish adds personal suffixes at the end of nouns. When the non-suffixed noun ends in a consonant and the following personal suffix uses a consonant at the beginning of the morpheme, an additional "-e-" must be added between the consonant and the vowel. For instance, while "your family" would be translated to "istáremak" (istárema-k, -k being the 2nd person singular suffix), "your heart" would be translated into "tondének" (tondén-e-k). The list of suffixes is the following:

* 1st sing: -i

* 2nd sing: -(e)k

* 3rd sing: -o

* 1st plur: -(e)ri

* 2nd plur: -(e)rek

* 3 plur: -(e)reo

===Pronouns===

'''Pure case (nominative-accusative)''':
