The structure of Indeyivroplu is holistically a mixture between common Indo-European patterns and some inspirations received from other world languages. It is a synthetic language, notable for its inflections based on part of speech, frequent agglutination, and lack of grammatical gender or cases. | The structure of Indeyivroplu is holistically a mixture between common Indo-European patterns and some inspirations received from other world languages.

Indeyivroplu uses the order Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), and indirect objects come before direct objects. Adjectives and adverbs directly precede the noun or verb they modify, unless a subject pronoun is attached to the verb (only in 3rd person), in which case it will go between the adverb and verb. Also, prepositions must uninterruptedly connect their subject with the object.
