Takkenit: Difference between revisions

There are different kinds of sentences, though Takkenit sentences tend to be simple and short. Most of them contain just a single word, like: ''tekujami'' "I run", or ''rawputteka'' "I love you". Other are more complicated, like: ''Kinjeri ketleninta puwunni keukumankile jukumankile'' "I heared the dog barked and howled at the cat in the forest". This sentence is simple in Takkenit, since it has one independent clause which contains one subject, ''kinjeri'' "dog", and one predicate, ''ketleninta keukumankile jukumankile'' "barked and howled at the cat as I heard it", ''puwunni'' "in the forest" and ''ketleninta'' "at the cat" are prepositional phrases. A compound sentence should be composed of at least two independent clauses, which is not common in Takkenit, since most compound sentences in English would be sayed with different simple sentences in Takkenit. The example can be: ''Kuŋka kintejkette, tumpujkeljatet''. "The moon was shining, everyone appeared happy". The last two examples show, that Takkenit has the SOV word order with the verb usually being the final word in the sentence.
