==Determiners==
Determiners perform several functions in Corrádi.  Before NPs, they mark the subject argument of a copula before its complement.   
Determiners perform several functions in Corrádi.  Before NPs, they mark the subject argument of a copula before its complement.  The principal determiner is ''im'', although another particle ''zan'', appears in rare occurrences.  There is no apparent difference between the particles, though some scholars speculate that ''zan'' may be an archaism.

Corradi is a VSO language, although the position of the verb can vary, yielding SVO and SOV orders.  The relative  position of the subject to the object is stricter: the object may precede the subject only if topicalized by the particle ''na''.  Possessums precede their possessor, and whilst adjectives follow their noun heads.
