For the most part, sentence structure is the same as English. Some notable changes occur, however, with compound words. THE NOUN ALWAYS COMES FIRST. I cannot stress this enough; it is the most common mistake made when speaking Klinsharein. When compounding two or more words, the larger object being described always is first. For example: draelis means 'dragon' or 'dragonkind' and nalathni means 'intelligent'. If you wanted to refer to an 'intelligent dragon' the proper way would be draelis nalathni.
For basic statements, this table should help :
viqu
vaq
vaqu
veq
vequ
us, we
you
you (formal or plural)
him, her, it
them, they
Vaq lyai tealn means 'You are sad.'
Lyai vaq tealn means 'Are you sad?'
Nalathni means intelligent and lyai is the verb 'to be', so the sentence Vaq lyai nalathni would mean 'You are intelligent.' This same basic format can be followed for all basic statements.
When using other forms of sentences such as past or future tense or command form, prefixes and suffixes come into use.
Add these to change form of a sentence :
yiq-
miq-
-farr
-giri
-nar
-qon
-mar
prefix for command form (Yiqtreln!, 'Go!')
prefix for formal command or request (Miqtreln., 'Please go.')
suffix for future tense (lyaifarr, 'will be')
suffix for past tense (lyaigiri, 'was')
suffix for making a command word negative (lyainar, 'is not')
noun suffix makes it plural (tintaigel, 'sword', tintaigelqon, 'swords')
noun or verb suffix, increasing the amount or intensity of something (tealn, 'sadness', tealnmar, 'despair')
When using numbers, to make a multiple digit number, just combine the numbers. Mun is 'one' and bin is 'two', so to say 'twelve', you would simply say mun-bin.

Kaedyn/Kaedynyae - This is the title used for a demigod or the mate of the Ashir or Ashiryae of a place. This is the second highest rank of respect.
King/Queen - Usually adressed as 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Highness'. Kings and Queens usually run large kingdoms within the realms and owe their allegiance to the Kaedyn or Ashir.
Prince/Princess - The son or daughter of the king and queen of the realm who will eventually inherit the kingdom.
Marquess/Marchioness - Adressed as 'my lord' or 'my lady'. The Marquess possesses a smaller chunk of the Duke's land, and bows to the Duke as their lord; usually only a couple of Marquess' per Duke.
Earl/Countess - The Earl (occasionally referred to as 'Count') or Countess are also addressed as 'my lord' or 'my lady', and hold a piece of the Marquess' land, taking the Marquess as their ruler. There are usually about three or four earls per Marquess.
Viscount/Viscountess - The Viscount in turn rules a piece of the Earl's land. They are also referred to as 'my lord' or 'my lady'. There are usually about ten Viscounts per Earl, and about 40 or 50 per kingdom in total.
Baron/Baroness - The Baron is the lowest rank among the nobles, and it is they who directly interact with the armies of the land. They are also referred to as 'my lord' or 'my lady'.
Squire - A Squire is a knight in training. Their main jobs include keeping the Knight's horse well fed and groomed, and its stall clean, polishing the knights armor, and running errands for the Knight that has enlisted them. In return, they learn to become Knights. A squire is occasionally referred to as 'Esquire'. A squire can be male or female.
Peasant - The peasants make up the majority of the population. They are tied to the land. The live there and farm and raise their animals and pay taxes to the king or queen and have no title or rank. They are usually poor, though some peasants with more money than others train to become Knights to elevate their social status.
