Knašta is an agglutinative language. Word meanings can be changed by adding an array of different prefixes and suffixes, and word compounding between all classes of words (noun, verb, etc.) is allowed. | |||
====Nouns==== | |||
Nouns in Knašta have no gender, and are all made plural by adding the suffix ''sin''. | |||
Nouns are inflected for two cases, nominative and genitive. The nominative form of the word is unchanged while the genitive form of the word contains the ''ins'' suffix, as seen in the below example. | |||
