Yolaka, lasi milo chulokosa! Oshi sate noki? Nofa-dai, jileshi moshe chae passive voice! ^^
PASSIVE VOICE OF VERBS
Passive voice vs. active voice of verbs has to do with wether the subject is acting or being acted upon.
Example: (Active voice) The dog ate the food.
VS. (Passive voice) The food was eaten by the dog.
See the difference? In Niora, passive voice is formed by adding "-pua" to the end of the conjugated verb, and "-sura" to the end of the (what I like to call) "secondary subject" or basically who is acting upon the subject of the sentence.
Example: (Active Voice) : The dog ate the food.
Niora: (Active Voice) : Shake saha ipe uka ipe shai.
English Passive: The food was eaten by the dog.
Niora Grammar: Eat(pua) (saha) the food the dog(sura).
Niora Passive: Shakepua saha ipe shai ipe ukasura.
Simple enough? Here's some to practice, please translate and post if you're having trouble:
1)The faerie was eaten by the wolf. eek
2)The pencil was used by the student. emo
3)Niora is taught by Kitsune. cool

Yolaka! Nofa-dai jileshi chae Reflexive Verbs! YA! blaugh
--------------------------
REFLEXIVE VERBS
In English, the translation of a reflexive verb would be something like, "I see myself" or something similar. In Niora, reflexive verbs are formed by adding "chione" before the verb and then conjugating the rest normally.
Example: I see myself in the mirror.
Niora Grammar: (Chione) see I in the mirror.
Niora: Chione au la ju ipe alau.
Please note that the reflexive equivelant in English is the reflexive case of the subject of the sentence. So then:
Chione auke na ipe alau. = She sees herself in the mirror.
Chione aushi korola ipe alau. = We see ourselves in the mirror.
As such, this is another reason why Niora doesn't need a seprate pronoun.

Yolaka, lasi milo chulokosa! whee Get this! I was so worked up in teaching advanced concepts, that I'd forgotten to teach something simple! So, without further ado...
MAKING COMPARISONS
In Niora, sometimes the use of "me" isn't enough. What if you wanted to say something was "more intelligent than" or "less intelligent than" or "as intelligent as" something else? Well, here's your answer:
For the indication of the, "more...than" relationship, you'd use "mi" before the adjective and "sa" after the adjective.
Example: "Cats are more intelligent than dogs." (And no offense to any dog-lovers out there, this is just an example. Calm yourselves. whee )
Would translate as: "Sateku milo sasha mi inotelo sa milo uka."
For the, "not as...as" relationship, use "ini...sa" in the same way as "mi...sa".
Example: "Cats are not as intelligent as dogs."
Would translate as: "Sateku milo sasha ini inotelo sa milo uka."
For the "(just) as...as" relationship, use "oshi...sa" in the same manner as the above examples.
Example: "Cats are (just) as intelligent as dogs."
Would translate as: "Sateku milo sasha (kui) oshi inotelo sa milo uka."
Also, for a "the best" or "the greatest" translation, you'd use "ki...sa"
Example: "Dogs are the best." = "Sateku milo uka ki miko sa."

Hello, my students! This thread is taken for onomatapia(sp?)! (Onomatapia are words that portray sounds, and in Niora, also flavoring words that you can stick pretty much anywhere in a sentence to make it sound more... I don't know, spunky, or something... sweatdrop ) But I like these words, so you get to learn them! whee
-----------------------------------
Also! I've edited the nouns to include family members now! 3nodding Go check it out!

GAH! I REALIZED I'D FORGOTTEN SOMETHING EXTREEMLY IMPORTANT! gonk
------------------------
In Niora, only ONE verb is conjugated per clause.
Example: "I can't hear you." would really be, "[ini]can I to hear you" or "Inikua la fuaakeshi noki."
If there is more than one clause, then there may be more than one conjugated verb, as in a relative clause.
Example: "The dog, who ate its food, was happy." = "Is [saha] the dog, [fa] eat [saha] it its food [afuu], happy."
Or: "Sateke saha ipe uka, fa shake chi chisi shaisa afuu, firo."
------------------------------------------------
TOMEE, TOMEE, TOMEE furu chuchukeshi! sweatdrop redface
----------
EDIT: Also, in Niora, if you don't feel like using 'feshiko' for a command, and you just want to say, GO!, or something, simply use the infinitive. This also is used when you want to have an understood you. You may still use 'feshiko' for emphasis if you wish, though.
Example: "Go!" = "Feshiko mime noki!" ~or~ "Mimeshi!" ~or~ "Feshiko mimeshi!"
