Nouns
Croissant nouns have two cases: nominative and genitive. Nouns ending with consonants use this paradigm:
| Singular | Plural | |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | - | -o |
| Genitive | -e | -ɑ̃ |
For example,
| riège (wood) | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | riège | riègeau |
| Genitive | riègé | riègent |
Nouns ending with vowels use the same paradigm, but with an intrusive t:
| Singular | Plural | |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | - | -to |
| Genitive | -te | -tɑ̃ |
For example,
| crus (wood) | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | crus | crûteau |
| Genitive | crûté | crûtant |
Syntax
Croissant is an almost exact relex of English.
