Yolaka buti! Today we have a smaller lesson.

PLURAL FORM

In order to make a noun plural, add the particle "milo" in front of it, or in between the word and its article.

Example: "milo mute" = "ferrets" "ipe milo mute" = "the ferrets"

Please note that you don't need to use the plural form (although you can if you want to, I guess...) when the word for "many" or "few" is modifying the noun.

many/a lot = mililo
few = furuku

Also, with these, you must use the particle "me" in between the noun being described and the modifying word(s).

Example: "osi furuku me milo mute" = "a few ferrets" (but that's really long, so you can just say: "osi furuku me mute" which is essentially the same thing.)

THE PARTICLE "ME"

If you want to describe a noun, whether it be an adjective or number, you must place the adjective/number before the noun and add "me" in the middle. (If the noun is plural, add "me" before the "milo", although "milo" is not needed if you are modifying the noun by using a number.)

Example (lasi thlakasa!(favorite) mrgreen ) :

"incompitent faerie" = "bakiki me chikichi"

"incompitent faeries" = "bakiki me milo chikichi"

Example #2

"the 8 people" = "ipe kolo me kulu" (Or "ipe kolo me milo kulu" but that's a bit long.)

Also note, you may use the particle "me" whenever you are describing a noun, even if you are describing it with another noun (or a verb for that matter).

Example= "a catlike person" = "osi sasha me kulu"

Example #2 = "a spinning person" = "osi lili me kulu"

You'll notice that in the above example "lili" is used instead of the infinitive "lilikeshi". When describing a noun with a verb, only use the root, or la form of the verb.

Eta sateke ipa chi! Shulu lasi milo chulokosa!

O! Okee, sateke ipa "Inimiko sho solere la Niora." (I don't speak Niora well.) 3nodding Tomee, Initsui la mimeshi di ipa yie(means school, but also means "lesson" and "class". whee ) danaku(after/yet.) sweatdrop whee

Nio = Nio (Ya! Nio! mrgreen This actually translates as "land" or "earth" in Niora. 3nodding )

(If you have ideas for any others that I've not included, please pm me and I will edit the post. ^^)

Now that you know the Nation's names, you may want to know how to say, "the language of Nio" or "Nio people" or "product of Nio" for example.

NOUN ENDINGS

-ra = language of

Example: "Nio" + "ra" = "language of Nio" = "Niora"

-re = inhabitent of

Example: "Nio" + "re" = "inhabitent of Nio" = "Niore"

-ri = product of

Example: "Nio" + "ri" = "product of Nio" = "Niori"

Sateke ipa chi furu homa! Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa! whee

mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! "ALSO"

Since there has been confusion about this, today we'll learn about another particle.

ADVERBS AND THE PARTICLE "SHO"

Remember the adjective particle "me"?
"Sho" is used in the exact same manner, except it is placed inbetween the verb it is modifying and the adverb that's doing the modifying.

Example: "I speak Niora well."
Niora Grammar = "Good (sho) speak I Niora"
Niora: "Miko sho solere la Niora."

ALSO

The particles "me" and "sho" may be used to turn any part of speech into any other part of speech.

Say you have a verb that you want to turn into an adverb. Just take the root (la form) of the verb, place it before the one being modified, and add "sho". Congrats, you've just turned a verb into an adverb. The same applies with "me". If you use the same formula, only insert "me", then you've turned a verb into an adjective!

Example: "He swims like a fish."
Niora: "Fishi (fish) sho pageke mi."

Example #2: "He swims as if he's flying."
Niora: "Soe sho pageke mi."
(Soeshi = to fly)

Sateke ipa chi furu homa! Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa! whee

How many Niora notebooks do you have? Like 10,000? lol

Yolaka, lasi milo chulokosa! Nofa-dai, jileshi moshe chae lo "-one", "-aka", eta "-u".
---------------
Hello, My students! Today, you all will learn about "-one", "-aka", and "-u".

VERB ENDINGS AND ADJECTIVE AND ADVERB PREFIXES

As in most languages, adjectives and adverbs can be modified with a prefix. They are:

"kulii-" (very) Example: "kulii-miko" (very good)
"ni-" (not) Example: "ni-miko" (not good)
"soto-" (weakens meaning, equivalent of "-ish" in English) Example: "soto-miko" (kind of good/ sort of good/ goodish)

Verbs can also be modified. (Note, you use this when you do not know the proper word for something and you will always add these to the end of the infinitive in the place of the final "i".)

"-one" (one who) Example: "monekeshone" (one who draws) = "artist"
"-aka" (an object used to) Example: "monekeshaka" (an object used to draw) = "pencil"
"-u" (the product of) Example: "monekeshu" (the product of drawing) = "doodle" or "drawing"

You may use these to even come up with your own vocabulary! whee
If you don't know the "proper" word for something, just modify a verb and everyone will know what you're talking about. Handy, no? cool

Sateke ipa chi furu homa.
Shulu, lasi milo chulokosa!
