IMPORTANT: In both verb types, the prefixes of the future/perfect tenses vary according to the first letter of the verb. Also, if the verb's last letter before -le/-lo is a vowel, then the buffer consonant (-j-) is added before conjugating in the present tense.

===Moods===
====Imperative====
The imperative voice is formed by using the suffix -o. Irregular verbs that undergo a root change can be conjugated in both ways. For example:
* lomle (to go) - lomo! (go!)
* matle (to wait, irregular verb, conj. as mattle) - mato/matto! (wait!)
For third person singular/plural:
* Andrea lom'''o'''! (Shall/let Andrea go)
* Eś matt'''o'''! (Shall/let them wait)
For first person singular/plural:
* Ti lom'''o'''! (Let's go!)
* En s'''o'''! (Let me do!)
For negatives, "mu" is used:
* Mu lom'''o''' (Don't go!)
* Mu matt'''o''' (Don't wait!)
====Conditional====
The word zim is used before the main verb and the suffix -(j)ol used after the verb root to indicate a conditional state that will cause something else to happen. Irregular verbs except ele (to be) are conjugated the same as regular verbs. Ele is conjugated normally. F
* Daqen '''zim''' karkal'''ol''' qte tegüle. (The bomb would explode if you touch it.)
For negative sentences, "mu" is used:
*  '''Zim'''  '''mu''' ev'''ol''' defim qte waqam evët? (Wouldn't there be gods if there were no humans?)
===Passive voice===
Add ni ... before a conjugated (3rd person) verb. Examples:
* ille (to see) - ila (he/she/it sees) - ni ila (is seen)
* benkle (to speak) - benka (he/she/it speaks) - ni benka (is spoken)
===Zuwattaynasep conjugation===
Zuwattaynasep conjugations express wish, ability and necessity.

==Nouns==
In Auscarish, nouns have no gender.
===Nominalization===

|-

|-
| the one with x (in it) || -get || Ehövat'''get''' e bag lav köt 'ekalat'''get'''. (The one with coffee in it is better than the one with chocolate in it.)
|-
| the one which is to x || -tog || Ürec'an Vayej'''tog''' jü! (We will miss the one to the Vayej!)
|-
| the one which is owned by multiple x's || -samsa || Aday'''samsa''' e bag lav köt essateh. (The one which the candidates own is better than the other.)
|-
| the one which is owned by x || -sam || Aday'''sam''' e bag lav köt essateh. (The one which the candidate owns is better than the other.)

===Indefinite articles===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! word class !! article
|-
| ...aq || iw (if the next letter is 'w', then it is ne)
|-
| ...a || on
|-
|-...e || il (il + vowel = ily-)
|-
| ...u/ü/j || ma (if the next letter is 'a', then it is um)
|-
| ...ći/fi || lo (lo + vowel = l' ...)
|-
| i... || ok
|-
| ...s || su (if the next letter is u, then it is ep)
|-
| other || i
|}
If the word is in more than one class, the article of one which comes before on the list is used. These articles come after adjectives and before nouns. For example:


==Example texts==
i racam - a car
==Other resources==
tesi - blue
<!-- Example: Word order, qualifiers, determinatives, branching, etc. -->
tesi i racam - a blue car (not i tesi racam)
