Pronoun of Person
Lingua Simpla has three persons: the first person refers to the speaker, the second person refers to the observer, and the third person refers to everyone except "you" and "me". The third person is divided into masculine, feminine, neuter (limited to the plural), and non-human (e.g., a gunship).

Colour
Lingua Simpla only has six basic colors: black(Dudu), red(Rosse), white(Walo), blue(Laso), yellow(Kitrino) and green(Midori), and other colors can be blended with them, for example, cream is equal to white and yellow. At the same time, the color at the end indicates a higher proportion of colors. It is also orange, and the combination of "Roskitrino" means that it should be orange-yellow, while "Kitrirosse" is orange-red. But there is an exception, where "Dudwalo" is simply grey, but "Dudurewalo" is dim grey and "Walududu" is pale grey.
Sexuality
Except for pronouns, Lingua Simpla is sexuality-insensitive, but there, is, actually, words, for, sexuality. Masculine is "Ork" and feminine is "Arf". To state out the sexuality of something(especially somebody), add "-arf" ("-narf" if end by vowel) or "-ork" ("-sork" if end by vowel).
