Clofabosin is an agglutinative, fusional-ish language with a consistently head-final grammar. Modern Standard Clofabosin is the most prominent language in the Clofabic dialect continuum, which also includes the closely related [[Asvasirasin]] language. Clofabosin is the official language of [[Verse:Tricin/Clofabolocin|Clofabolocin]] ('Clofabian land') and [[Verse:Tricin/Dodellia|Dodellia]] (Clofabosin: ''dodellocridan'') in [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]].

*''-azole''
In addition, ''cavir'' 'to do, to cause' is an irregular verb; its present subjunctive is ''kumab'' and the other subjunctive forms use the ''ki-'' stem: past ''kizumab'', aorist ''kivetmab'' and future ''kiximab''.

The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. ''stilokumab!'' 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".
The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. ''stilocamab!'' 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".


Yes-no questions are formed by adding the question particle ''pegol'' to the subjunctive: ''zenazumab pegol?'' (Did he go?). In spoken Clofabosin ''-mab pegol'' is often shortened to ''-mapel'' or ''-pel''. Wh-questions do ''not'' use this ending: ''cesin gliserotin(avir)?'' = What language is this?

For realis forms (e.g. indicative, attributive, "when", "while", conjunctive), the negative marker is ''-fo-'': ''sabafovir'' 'he does not write'.

The copular verb ''cytavir'' (often shortened to ''tavir'' in colloquial Clofabosin) may also be used, or it can be dropped. For example: ''endin voprafenavir'' and ''endin voprafen cytavir'' both mean "I am a teacher".
