Corradi is a VSO language, although the position of the verb can vary, yielding SVO and SOV orders. The relative position of the subject to the object is stricter: the object may precede the subject only if topicalized by the particle ''ken''. | Corradi is a VSO language, although the position of the verb can vary, yielding SVO and SOV orders. The relative position of the subject to the object is stricter: the object may precede the subject only if topicalized by the particle ''ken''. Possessums precede their possessor, and adjectives their noun heads. Prepositions, or more accurately, locative nouns, occur as possessums of the head nouns and so must be inflected in the construct case. | ||
