==Grammar==

===Personal pronouns===

{| class=wikitable style="text-align: center;"

! !! Singular !! Plural

|-

! 1st person

| ''mi'' || ''nosi''

|-

! 2nd person

| ''tu'' || ''uté''

|-

! 3rd person

| ''ye'' || ''wa''

|}

Personal pronouns are made possessive by placing them after the possessum, e.g. ''miti mi'' "my tree", ''karo tu'' "your car", etc.

===Determiners===

===Demonstratives===

Ganymedian has three postpositional demonstrative determiners: proximal ''te'' (from {{mn|es|este}}), medial ''se'' (from {{l|es|ese}}) and distal ''aké'' (from {{l|es|aquel}}).

===Numerals===

Similarly to [[w:Japanese language|Japanese]], Ganymedians are familiar with two sets of numerals for different purposes, divided along lines of Swahili-derived (''kiswa'') or Spanish-derived (''pañola'') numerals:

Line 89:

Line 115:

! 8

| ''nane'' || ''ocho'' || {{mn|sw|nane}}, {{mn|es|ocho}}

|-

! 9

| ''tisa'' || ''niwe'' || {{mn|sw|tisa}}, from {{mn|ar|تِسْعَة}};{{mn|es|nueve}}

|-

! 10

| ''kumi'' || ''dise'' || {{mn|sw|kumi}}, {{mn|es|diez}}

|}

Although boundaries are blurry and different by region, the Akademia recommends counting objects and people with ''kiswa'' numerals, e.g. '''''sita''' parosi na '''saba''' chuchosi'' "six birds and seven dogs" or ''tabla para '''bili''', nomba'' "table for two, please", and using ''pañola'' numerals for everything else, most commonly reading the date or time, e.g. ''ni '''quato''' ya mesi'' "it's the fourth of the month" or ''wa ta tana ya '''dise''' na media'' "they will meet at half past ten".
