Grammar: Sentence Structure

The standard sentence structure is essentially:   Place/position of action, verb, description of verb, subject, description of subject, object, description of object     Thus, the most basic form is: Verb, subject, object     For example: English: I see a black cat Syklovian: Perki si ó anana dinlá [Perki = to see, si = I, ó = a, anana = cat, dinlá = black]     There is no verb conjugation in standard Syklovian (although certain dialects retain verb conjugations that existed in older forms of the language).   To denote something as past tense, there are three words that can be used: 1. Kuthra (this is an old-fashioned word, which developed into the other two words and is rarely used) 2. Kutho (this is the modern, formal version) 3. Ra (this is the moder, informal version)     Kutho and kuthra are both added as a suffix to the subject of the sentence, so the most basic formal past tense structure looks as follows:   Verb, subject(kutho/kuthra), object     Ra is used slightly differently, and is added as a suffix to the verb:   Verb(ra), subject, object   For example: English: I saw the black cat Formal Syklovian: Perki sikutho ó anana dinlá Informal Syklovian: Perkira si ó anana dinlá     To write a sentence in the future tense, there are also multiple terms. These are: 1. Kuthi (uncertain) 2. Kuthri (certain)   These function the same as kutho/kuthra grammatically. For example:   English: I might see a black cat Syklovian: Perki sikuthi ó anana dinlá   English: I will see a black cat Syklovian Perki sikuthri ó anana dinlá
