===Stress=== | |||
Stress varies upon the part of speech and the way the word is constructed. | |||
In most, if not all, 2 syllable verbs, when in dictionary form, the stress is on the tense ending. | |||
:"etrej" (to be) = <b>é</b>-trej | |||
:"aštej" (to buy) = aš-<b>téj</b> | |||
For verbs over 2 syllables, the stress is either 2nd to last syllable, or last syllable. | |||
:"sujetej" (to wish (for)) = su-je-<b>téj</b> | |||
Stress in nouns aren't really regular. | |||
Most 2 syllable nouns have the stress on the last syllable. However, most nouns that end with "i" have the stress on the first syllable. | |||
:"mačkon" (house) = mač-<b>kón</b> | |||
:"panać" (bread) = pa-<b>náć</b> | |||
:"valač" (village) = <b>vál</b>-ač (/'vɐlɪt͡ʃ/) | |||
:"livški" (book) = <b>lív</b>-ški (/'livʃkɪ/) | |||
For 3 syllables, the stress is usually on the 2nd syllable. | |||
:"labričnie" (maze) = la-<b>bríč</b>-nie (/la'bʁit͡ʃnje/) | |||
In words having over 3 syllables, the stress is usally on the 2nd to last syllable, but there are exceptions. | |||
Usually, if the number of syllables increase by 1 as a result of the number suffix, the stress is almost always on the 2nd to last syllable. | |||

===Particles=== | |||
Articles do not exist in Persiran. Definiteness, indefiniteness, or partitiveness is inferred depending on the context of the sentence. | |||

===Word Order=== | |||
Word order is usually SVO, like in English. | |||
<br /><br> | |||
However, since case is identified in each noun, word order doesn't really matter. Therefore, if you wanted to emphasize something, you can say it first without changing the meaning of the sentence. | |||
<br /><br> | |||
The only word order that is strict is in prepositional phrases. It must be PREPOSITION followed by the OBJECT.<br><br> | |||
<b>Note: If a word ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) and the next word starts with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u), then a "j" should be added onto the end of the first word, so that it flows nicer.</b> | |||
:"A etrej" -> "Aj etrej" (i am)<br><br> | |||
===Qualifiers=== | |||
Qualifiers always directly follow the word they're modifying. | |||
:"ševeš mara" = brown hair (the qualifier "mara" (brown) would come after "ševeš" (hair) since that is the word it is modifying) | |||
:"bela tru" = very beautiful (the qualifier "tru" (very) would come after "bela" (beautiful) since that is the word it is modifying) | |||
:"a curoj rapa" = i ran quickly (the qualifier "rapa" (quickly) would come after "curoj" (ran) since that is the word it is modifying) | |||
<br><br> | |||
===Determinatives=== | |||
There are no articles. | |||
<br><br> | |||
Quantifiers come right before the word they are modifying (many, 5, three, etc..) | |||
:"tri tantantontaje" = three pairs of pants | |||
:"va d persirije" = many people (many is an expression: "va d") | |||
<br><br> | |||
There is only one Demonstrative ("vi"). It is added onto a noun by using a dash ("-") and then the word. Demonstratives can also be used alone. | |||
:"livški-vi" = this/that book | |||
:"šiomie-vi" = these/those dogs | |||
:"vij etrej drolša" = that is funny | |||
