&#x002a; The letter "i" is pronounced as /i/ when by itself; however, when it precedes another vowel it is pronounced as /j/.
<br>
<br>
When a vowel is unstressed and in the last syllable of a word, it may have a different pronunciation. Please take note of the following:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| <b>a</b> || /ɪ/
|-
| <b>e</b> || /ʌ/
|-
| <b>i</b> || /ɪ/
|-
| <b>o</b> || /ø/
|-
| <b>u</b> || /œ/
|}
<br><br>
When a vowel is followed by a "j", it adds a short "i" sound, similar to the "Й" letter in Russian. The pronunciations of "aj", "ej", "ij", "oj", and "uj" are in the following table:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| <b>aj</b> || /aɪ/
|-
| <b>ej</b> || /e/
|-
| <b>ij</b> || /ij/
|-
| <b>oj</b> || /ɔɪ/
|-
| <b>uj</b> || /ʊj/
|}

===Adjectives / Adverbs===
Adjectives and adverbs are the same thing in Persiran. Adjectives/Adverbs always end in "-a", and can be used to modify nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or verbs. Adjectives/Adverbs always follow the word they modify. (If W = word and A = adjective/adverb, the order would be WA)
<br>
<br>
There is no agreement with adjectives/adverbs with the word they modify.
===Derivational Morphology===
====Nouns to Adjectives/Adverbs====
# Take the dictionary form of a noun, and take away the ending that represents number (ex. "mera" -> "mer" / "panać" -> "pana")
# Add an "a" onto the end. If the noun (without the number ending) ends with an "a", add an "ja". (ex. "mer" + "a" = "mera" / "pana" + "ja" = "panaja")
::Note: Some nouns already end with an "a" and don't change like "mera" (mother).
# The example ("mera" -> "mera") turned "mother" into "motherly". The example ("panać" -> "panaja") turned "bread" into "bready".
====Adjectives/Adverbs to Nouns====
# Remove the "a" ending from the end of the adjective. (ex. "bela" -> "bel")
# Add the affix "av" to the end. (ex. "bel" + "av" = "belav")
# The example ("bela" -> "belav") turned "beautiful" into "beauty".
====Verbs to Nouns====
=====Gerunds=====
This is the basic way of forming a gerund.
# Take the dictionary form of a verb, and remove the "ej" from the end. (ex. "surej" -> "sur")
# Add the affix "el" to the end. (ex. "sur" + "el" = "surel")
# The example ("surej" -> "surel") turned "to smile" into "smile".
=====Doers=====
This is the way of turning a verb into someone who performs that action.
# Take the dictionary form of a verb, and remove the "ej" from the end. (ex. "curej" -> "cur")
# Add the affix "eć" to the end. (ex. "cur" + "eć" = "cureć")
# The example ("curej" -> "cureć") turned "to run" into "runner".
====Verbs to Adjectives/Adverbs====
=====Basic Adjectives/Adverbs=====
This is the basic way of turning a verb into an adjective/adverb.
# Take the dictionary form of a verb, and remove the "ej" from the end. (ex. "danšej" -> "danš")
# Add the affix "a" to the end. ("danš" + "a" = "danša")
# The example ("danšej" -> "danša") turned "to danse" into "dancing" or "dancingly".


=====Past Participles=====
This is the basic way of turning a verb into an adjective that generally ends in "-ed" in English, or a past participle.
# Take the dictionary form of a verb and add the passive voice ending "oč" to the end. (ex. "aštej" -> "aštejoč")
# Break the verb into pieces (root, tense, and voice). (ex. "aštej" = "ašt" + "ej" + "oč")
# Remove the "ej" affix. (ex. "ašt" + "ej" + "oč" -> "ašt" + "oč" and "ašt" + "oč" = "aštoč")
# Add the affix "a" at the end. (ex. "aštoč" + "a" = "aštoča")
# The example ("aštej" -> "aštoča") turned "to buy" into "bought".
