==== Applicative mood ====
This means to do something for or on behalf of another using the suffix -'''epor''' or -'''por''' For instance: '''Bemanjepor''' (They eat for/on behalf of someone/something else).
 
==== Derivation of verbs from nouns ====
In some cases, if a verb is derived from a noun, a pattern can be observed. This usually applies to nouns with two syllables. This does not apply to all verbs and nouns or to all two-syllable nouns. If the noun's last follows the pattern Consonant-Vowel-Consonant, the vowel disappears and an "a" is appended to the end. For example:
 
* Bahim = noise but to make a noise is bahma
* Praman = a road, but to walk is pramna
* Tamuk = language, but to talk is Tamka.
*
*

==Derivation of verbs from nouns==
 
Verbs can be derived from nouns.
 
===Demonstratives ===
Demonstratives are used to determine entités that are being referred to.
 
* Distal: -qa ('''leqa, veqa, neqa''': those, l'''uqa, nuqa''' and '''vuqa''': that)
* Proximate: -arud ('''learud, nearud,''' and '''vearud''': these, '''luarud, nuarud''' and '''vuarud''': this)
 
 
=== Pronouns ===
{{WIP}}
Pronouns are inflected for case and class where applicable:
* First person indicates that the speaker or a group of which the speaker is a part is performing the action or having the action performed on them. The first person pronoun replaces their names or any another reference. The prefix can appear as either a word or a stand along word as follows:
** In the singular form, the prefix ''mi-'' is used or the word ''min''. If the speaker is the subject then, the prefix ''mi'' replaces the noun as well as the case and other initial markings on the verb root. For instance: "'''''Mi'''tad muMeer''" means "I speak to the Governor". If the roles are reversed then the sentence would change as follows: ''muMeer mutad min''.
** In the plural form, to include the addressee, the pronoun prefix is ''Wa'' and the stand alon word is ''Wan''. "'''''Wa'''salam welumajhid''" means "We prayed at the Temple". Alternatively, it can be: "The teacher spoke to us", that being "''Murab mutadam '''wan'''''". Alternatively, the pronoun can be placed at the head of the sentence as follows "''O'''wan''' metadas muMeer''" means "We were spoken to by the Governor". To exclude the addressee, you would use the prefix ''sil-'' and the word ''silne'' as follows: "We are finishing the business we started". "'''''Sil'''nahal luchubal lubidayt '''silne''' ". ''
* Second person: This indicates the addressee.
** The singular form used the the Du prefix and Dun word. For example: You are not allowed to speak to the Sultan. ''Ne'''du'''rakht khatad wemuShultan''.
** The plural form is zu and it works as follows: "You donate all your money to charitable causes", which in Packilvanian is '''''Zu'''zakat ludinar luned a'''zun''' welejahud lezakatiya''. In this sentence, the plural second person pronoun ''zun'' or you is in the genitive case.
 
* Third person indicates someone or a group that the speaker is speaking to the addressee about. The following pronouns apply.
** To speak about someone or something in the singular third person form, the prefix dhu- is used and the stand alone word dhun is used. For example, the sentence "John came by the house last summer. He brought a basket of apples". In Packilvanian this would be: "''Ihan muyatam lusayf lumad welubayt. '''Dhu'''ahdur lusala aletufaah''". Another example is "I have not seen him since he drove by. Have you looked for him in the shed?" In Packilvanian this would be, "''Neminara '''dhun''' sayinka '''dhu'''shareed wehuna. Dunarafim '''dhun''' welutasalit''?"
** To speak about a group, you would use the prefix "ish-" and the pronoun "ishne". For example: "They had a meeting with their boss yesterday". This is "'''''Is'''hmijhalis lulamish lumaharaj ale'''ishne'''''".
 
=== Modifiers and descriptors ===
Adverbs and adjectives are grammatically treated the same, thus linguists do not make a distinction between the two, giving rise to the use of the loose term "modifiers" and "descriptors".
 
Line 458 ⟶ 473:
 
The modifiers appear in the following order:
* Quantity, number, order or frequency
* Quality or opinion.
* Direction or position or relation
* Size.
* Age.
* Shape.
* Color.
* Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
* Purpose or qualifier.
A noun for example would be as follows: The ten beautiful big old long blue Packilvanian cooking knives is '''vemashat vedekha vepulkhra vemaknir vejener vechuhul velazul veBakhilfaniya vekuyseen'''.
 
A verb for example: Fly once quickly northward everywhere today would be '''Vailnganutevroomboriyaahmnayloqashabatqaku''' in the imperative or '''Luvail lunganute luvroom luboriya luahmanayloqa lushabat''' in the indicative (which implies a subject).
 
==== Postpositions ====
The location of the subject, object or instrument relative to another is usually implied by the use of the locative case. However, to specify the relative position, special modifiers called postpositions are used. For example:
 
* -'''beneyath''': beneath, under or underneath
* -'''ubuv''': above
* -'''ashidi''': beside
* -'''akhansta''': against
* -'''dupa''': on top of, on
* -'''aye''': with (not to be confused with the instrumental case)
* -'''munga''': among
* -'''idaween''': between
* -'''akhrono''': during
* -'''ayn''': within, in
* -'''xepet''': except, excluding
* -'''gurash''': across
* -'''nayeer''': near, close
* -'''joor''': through
* -'''vah''': off
* -'''rotunda''': around
* -'''berefia''': before
* -'''futar''': after
*-'''far''': far
*
 
==== Diminutive, intensive and feminisation ====
These are used to show something to a smaller degree: the suffix -amne or -mne can be added as a suffix to noun, verb or modifier. This can be doubled to further diminuate the word concerned. For example, '''luwayeet''' (man) becomes '''luwayeetamne''' (small man) which can become '''luwayeetamnemne''' (a very small or pathetic man). Double diminutive are often used as pejoratives.
 
Line 502 ⟶ 517:
Packilvanian does not have sex-based grammatical gender but a suffix can be added to a word to feminise it. -'''Elea''' and -lea are the official root however a simple -a, -ia and -lia have been used to effeminise words. Non-feminised words also use the latter three at their ends. For example lumedichi (doctor) becomes lumedichilea (female doctor). Feminisation applied to men is regarded as a pejorative.
 
==== Subordinates and conjunctions ====
These words join two or more clauses and phrases. These are grammatically adverbs. The constructions work similarly to Staynish-Codexian.
*'''Aladha''': Although, though, even though
*'''Akhausa''': Because
*'''Rashalta''': As a result
*'''Nadina''': And, as well as
*'''Neshtemne''': Nevertheless

=== Calendar and Time ===
{{Today/Packilvanian}}
The Packilvanian calendar uses the Common Era lunisolar calendar. The months match up but the weekdays are vastly different. Each week comprises 12 days. A month is called a "Dool", a Day is called a "Yam" and a Week is called a "Iskar". The day comprises 20 hours of 72 minutes each. An hour is called a "Hoor" and a minute is called a "Tash" while a second is called a "Jum".

If you want to tell someone one the time is, there are two options:
* Digital time: Here you say the numbers on a digital clock for example if the time is 19:67, the you say ''Sool na Shvaan sool-sunkt na shvaan'' (Nineteen sixty seven).
* Analogue time: There are two ways:
** When you have passed the half way point of the hour, I.e., 36 minutes, You say the number of minutes until the coming hour. For example: if the time is 17:65, you say ''Shvaan tulha sool na saash'' (7 to 18).
** When you have not passed the half way point then you say how many minutes have passed in the hour you are currently in. For example if the time is 09:34, you say: ''Sool-dasht na dakt sayinka Naan'' (Thirty four since nine).
** When you want to say approximately half way, you say that you are in the middle of the hour you are in: if the approximate time is 10:36, you say ''Derj Dakht'' (Half ten).
** When you want to say approximately a quarter past the start of the hour, for example 12:18, you say, ''Verj Sayinka Sool'' (A fourth since 12).
** When you want to say a quarter to the next hour, for example 3:54, you say, ''Verj tulha Vaar'' (A fourth to 12).
** When you want to say a third from the current hour, for example 6:24, you say ''Terj Sayinka Saash'' (A third since 6).
** When you want to say a third to the next hour, for instance 7:48, you say ''Taarj tulha Gat'' (A third until 8). This formula applies for a 6th, 8th or 12th of the hour
