Grammar, Rules, Syntax and Alphabet

Syntax

Adryst follows the OSV word order, and follows the SOV in  ertain situations, so examples of sentences would be;

“There I went" "The Apple She ate" (OSV)

"I There went" "She the apple ate" (SOV)

Sentence Structure

Adryst has a "proper" and "improper" method of ending sentences, which can be equivalent of "formal" and "informal" writing, in that when a sentence or clause ends with a verb (as most Adryst sentences should), the word "lo" should immediately follow it and that shows the end of a formal or "proper" sentence, while omitting this word leaves the sentence without end, even though you understand that the clause has an end through inference. This mainly applies to where "fullstops" would occur in English, so does not apply to exclamatory or question phrases necessarily.

So;

Ýe ýda arllo elyu tyr alta lo. " I will explain in the Morning"(For sure)
Ýe ýda arllo elyu tyr alta. "I will explain in the Morning"


In addition to ending sentences correctly, Adryst also has identifiers, that acknowledge a topic or subject, whether it be a person, place or thing, that usually provides significance the topic or subject in a form similar to emphasis, for example;

Ýda açtan bu elyuo lla lo. "The house is mine" (Emphasizes certainty)
Ýda açtan elyuo lla lo. "The house is mine" 

Açem u wō altayn lo. "I told him" (Emphasizes certainty)
Açem wō altayn lo. "I told him"

Ýda cúçuco ao yluteço lla lo. "The Church is Good" (Emphasizes certainty)
Ýda cúçuco yluteço lla lo.

So typing sentences without these identifiers, like with the sentence final "lo" is omitting the "formal" or "proper" meaning, but can still just as easily be understood without them.

Singular & Plural

In Adryst, pluralized words will end with yō which is pronounced as with the sounds given to these letters normally, but is distinguished in writing with the Macron above the O and vocally as a slightly longer O sound to signify plurality.

otherwise words are singular or inherently pluralized (i.e "Ellyō" - These).


Tenses

Adryst tenses are as follows;

Past - yn (think “ed" in English, as in Finish"ed")

Future - yr (Think “ing” in English Go”ing”)

- Tyr (would - do something, “Would - go") - Before a word

* If putting “yr” before a verb, it becomes “will” (yr go “will go”)

And the present tense simply is the word without any of these endings or prefixes.

Conjugations

Adryst has no gender conjugations, but does specify between persons, using pronoun conjugations to show who is performing an action, but this does not apply when speaking of possible actions or the actions of others that are also possible and instead will use the normal pronouns using the appropriate transitive 

Wō - To refer to one’s self
 Ýo wō eruta lo "I love it"
Ýo elyu yr eruta lo "I will love it"

Wyō - To refer to person plurals
Ýo wyō eruta lo "We love it"
Ýo çe yr eruta lo "We will love it"

Cō - refers to someone else
Ýo Cō eruta lo "You love it"
Ýo prye yr eruta lo "You will love it"

Cyō - refers to people in the plural
Ýo Cyō eruta lo  "They love it"
Ýo lyō yr eruta lo "They will love it"

Verbs will typically end with the letter ‘a’ and an adjective will end with an ‘o’. Nouns will end in any letter and can be distinguished by the fact that they will have identifiers directly after them, whereas adjectives won't and verbs are always last with the sentence final "lo"(excluding clauses with no end, such as a pause or thought, or when there is no verb).
