Similar to Russian and other Slavic languages, the language largely doesn't have an absolutely rigid constituent order due to heavy inflection. Rather, the basic order tends to most often be similar to subject-verb-object-compliment (SVOC), following after Portuguese as well. | |||
Again similar to Russian, alternate word orders can be used to express logical stress and degree of definiteness, where phrases placed nearer to the beginning having a hiğer amount of emphasis in the sentence. | |||
