Ancient Sohcahtoan uses an '''S-O-V'''(subject-object-verb) format as in Japanese, however when asking a question the language uses a '''V-O-S'''(verb-object-subject) structure, e.g. ''ūn ã mārã kã ēdus''(The dog has a ball) and ''Ēdus kã mārã ūn?''(does the dog have a ball?) | Ancient Sohcahtoan uses an '''S-O-V'''(subject-object-verb) format as in Japanese, however when asking a question the language uses a '''V-O-S'''(verb-object-subject) structure, e.g. ''ūn ã mārã kã ēdus''(The dog has a ball) and ''Ēdus kã mārã ūn?''(does the dog have a ball?) | ||

'''"The dog" - "ūn"''' | |||
Ancient Sohcahtoan, like Japanese, doesn't have a word for "the", unless you are also specifying the '''location''' of something, e.g. if you wanted to say "the dog", it would be simply "ūn"(literally "dog"), but if you wanted to say "this dog" or "that cat" it would be "gēn ūn" or "gān nūrã" respectively. | |||
