Nouns

Four numbers are used in Tizian: generic, partitive, singulative and plurative. The generic number refers to an unspecified member or members of a set or to the whole set. The partitive number is used with quantifiers and also with the meaning "some X". Singulative and plurative respectively denote one and multiple specific items.

Pronouns

The first person singular can be used as an impersonal pronoun.

Verbs

Split ergativity

The ergative particle le is used before an ergative noun phrase. 1st and 2nd person arguments induce nominative/accusative alignment on both nouns and verbs.
