====Articles==== | ====Articles==== | ||
Articles in Adamic are either definite, indefinite, or nomic. The first case denotes either a specific being one is able or unable to identify (translated in English as "the" or "a certain"); the second, an unespecific being that may be random or somewhat specific (translated as "any" or "some"); and the third applies to generic identities, such as the subject in ''’ûlaru mafrá'' "people die". | |||
=====Nominal Articles===== | =====Nominal Articles===== | ||
Plain articles accompany nouns and pseudo-nouns in the absolute state. Instead of relying on an epenthetic vowel to determine their syntactic functions such as pronouns, they are known to be arranged either before or after a nominal phrase (e.g. ''iru mur liviatan'' "it's the dead whale"). | |||
