'''Notes:'''
#The definite article precedes the noun it modifies.
<!--
#When used without an accompanying noun, the singular articles does not contract with a following vowel. The singular masculine, however, contracts with a preceding vowel regardless of whether there is a noun accompanying it or not.
#The neuter definite article is generally used with nominalized neuter adjectives or relative clauses that have an abstract/inanimate referent - e.g. ''lo bueno'' "the good/that which is good"; ''lo que pienso'' "what I think/that which I think".-->

'''Notes:'''
 
<sup><small>1</small></sup> Preverbal before vowel.
 
<sup><small>2</small></sup> -''n'' is appended to the singular clitic possessives when the following word begins in a vowel.
 
<sup><small>3</small></sup> Preverbal before ''a''.
<!--
<sup><small>5</small></sup> Post-verbal after non-finite form (infinitive, participles, etc.).-->
 
Note that post-verbal clitic pronouns are always separated from the verb with a hyphen.
<!--
The neuter gender is used to refer to abstract ideas, infinitives, ''que'' clauses, inanimate interrogatives and indefinites, and similar.
-->
When a verb has multiple clitic object pronouns, they combine in the following order: ''reflexive OP + indirect OP + direct OP + adverbial OP'' (see below).
 
====Adverbial object pronouns====
<!--
The following adverbial clitic object pronouns are used:
*''ter'' = equivalent to French ''y''
*''tar'' = equivalent to French ''en''
Note that when post-verbal, the clitic pronouns are separated from the verb with a hyphen.
-
When both adverbial object pronouns are used at once, they combine as <i>en b'</i> preverbally before vowels and ''n'y'' otherwise.-->
 
===Nouns===
====Number====
Singular nouns are pluralized with the ending ''-s'' (after a vowel) or ''-es'' (after a consonant).
 
Nouns ending in ''-a'' form their plural in ''-es'' (if masculine) or ''-os'' (if feminine) instead of the expected *''-as''.
<!--
* Nouns ending in a consonant: + ''-es''
* Feminine nouns ending in ''-a'': ''-os''
* Any other noun ending in a v-->
===Adjectives===
====Agreement====
Adjectives usually end in a consonant, ''-e'', or ''-o'' in the masculine singular. They generally form their feminine in ''-a'', masculine plural in ''-es'', and feminine plural in ''-os''.
 
Adjectives ending in a stressed ''-o'' or ''-e'' do not drop it when other endings are added. For example, ''go'' "good" becomes ''goa'' in the feminine singular.
 
Adjectives whose masculine singular ends in ''-a'' form their feminine in ''-o'' and plural in ''-es'' (masculine) and ''-os'' (feminine).
 
====Comparatives====
<!--
The comparative of an adjective is formed with the ending ''-eza/ezes, -ezo/ezos'' (masculine sg./pl., feminine sg./pl.).
-->
The comparative of an adjective is formed by placing ''mès'' "more" or ''menns'' "less" before the adjective for positive and negative comparatives respectively.
 
Some adjectives have irregular comparatives. These include:
* ''go'' "good" → ''baiza, yossa'' "better" <!--vèl-->
*''oble'' "bad" → ''versa'' "worse"
*''mane'' "much, many" → ''mèza, maneza'' "more"
*''fò'' "few, little" → ''mennza, foza'' "less, fewer"
*''melle'' "big, great" → ''mèza'' "bigger, greater"
*''lille'' "small, little" → ''mennza'' "smaller"
*''jong'' "young" → ''joza'' "younger"
*''sene'' "old" → ''alza'' "older"
 
The superlative is formed by placing the definite article before the corresponding comparative.
 
====Absolute Superlatives====
<!--
The superlative is formed with the ending ''-est/estes, -esta/estos''.
-->
The absolute superlative is formed with the suffix ''-est''. Alternatively, it can be formed by placing ''mèst'' "very much" before the adjective. The negative counterpart can be formed by placing ''mennst'' "hardly" before the adjective
 
Some adjectives have irregular absolute superlatives. These include:
* ''go'' "good" → ''baist, yost'' "very good"
*''oble'' "bad" → ''verst'' "very bad"
*''mane'' "much, many" → ''mèst, manest'' "very much, very many"
*''fò'' "few, little" → ''mennst, fost'' "very few, very little"
*''melle'' "big, great" → ''mèst'' "very big, very great"
*''lille'' "small, little" → ''mennst'' "very small"
*''jong'' "young" → ''jost'' "very young"
*''sene'' "old" → ''alst'' "very old"
 
===Adverbs===
====Derivation from adjectives====
Adverbs are usually derived from adjectives by adding ''-o'' to the stem.
 
Some adverbs are irregular. These include:
*''go'' "good" → ''vèla'' "well"
*''mane'' "much, many"; ''melle'' "big, great" → ''felo'' "much, greatly, very"
 
====Comparative and Superlative====
<!--
The comparative and superlative of adverbs are formed with the endings ''-ezo'' and ''-esto'' respectively.-->
Comparative, superlatives, and absolute superlatives of adverbs are formed analytically in the same way for adverbs as they are for adjectives.
 
Some adverbs have irregular comparatives/superlatives and absolute superlatives. These include:
* ''vèla'' "well" → ''bais, yos'' "better"; ''baist, yost'' "very well"
*''oblo'' "badly" → ''vers'' "worse"; ''verst'' "very badly"
*''mello'' "greatly, very" → ''mès'' "greater, more"; ''mèst'' "very greatly, very much"
*''lillo'' "to a small extent" → ''menns'' "less"; ''mennst'' "to a very small extent, hardly"

'''Notes:'''


¹ Verbs with regular pasts form their past participle in this way. Verbs with irregular pasts form their past participle in one of two ways:
* With the past stem, or
* With the ending ''-en-''.
<!--
² Becomes ''-endo'' after palatal consonants. Merges with preceding ''-w-'' to form ''-yendo''.-->

'''Notes:'''
¹ The final ''-e'' in the 3S present of ''-er'' and ''-ir'' verbs is dropped after certain consonants.-->
<!--
² When an ending begins in a rising diphthong (''-i-'' + vowel), ''-i-'' is dropped after palatal consonants and merges with a preceding ''-w-'' to form ''-y-''.-->

-->
====Compound tenses====
Compound tenses are formed with the verb ''haven'' "to have" followed by the past participle. They differ from each other according to the tense of the auxiliary verb.
*Non-finite forms:
**Perfect infinitive: ''haven'' + past participle
**Pluperfect participle: past participle of ''haven'' + past participle
**Perfect gerundive: gerundive of ''haven'' + past participle
*Indicative:
**Present perfect: present of ''haven'' + past participle
**Pluperfect: imperfect of ''haven'' + past participle
**Future perfect: future of ''haven'' + past participle
**Conditional perfect: conditional of ''haven'' + past participle
*Subjunctive:
**Perfect subjunctive: present subjunctive of ''haven'' + past participle
**Pluperfect subjunctive: imperfect subjunctive of ''haven'' + past participle
**Future perfect subjunctive: future subjunctive of ''haven'' + past participle
<!---
====='''Periphrastic tenses'''=====
In addition to the usual simple and compound tenses, there are additional periphrastic tenses formed with auxiliary verbs. These can themselves take any simple or compound tense.-->
====Passive====
Formed with the appropriate conjugation of ''vesen'' "to be" with the appropriately declined form of the past participle.
<!--
It can also be used as a pseudopassive, especially with intransitive verbs. In this case, the participle is always in the neuter.-->
====Irregular verbs====
* Verbs that have an irregular imperfect stem use that stem in the imperfect indicative and subjunctive instead of the expected ''-ed-/-od-'' suffix. The endings added to the past stem remain the same (i.e. ''-a, -es,...'' in the indicative and ''-o, -es,...'' in the subjunctive).
* Verbs that have an irregular imperfect stem may form their past participle in one of two ways depending on how the imperfect stem is derived:
** If the imperfect is derived from the present stem via a dental suffix (''-t-'', ''-d-'', or ''-s-''): The past participle is identical to the imperfect stem.
** If the imperfect is derived from the present stem via a vowel change or otherwise formed without a dental suffix: The past participle is formed from the present stem with the suffix ''-en-''.
** A few verbs may not follow the above pattern.
* Some verbs have an irregular future stem (i.e. a stem other than the infinitive), usually derived by contraction. In this case, the endings normally added to the infinitive in the future and conditional tenses are instead added to the irregular stem.
* Some verbs have a vowel change in the stem conditioned by stress. Most often, this alternation is between ''-è-'' and ''-e-'', or ''-ò-'' and ''-o-'' (the first of each set occurring when stressed, and the second when unstressed).
* Some verbs whose stem end in ''-c-'' or ''-g-'' maintain their spelling in all forms with the associated pronunciation changes. Others maintain their pronunciation in all forms with the associated spelling changes.
