===Nouns=== | ===Nouns=== | ||
Nouns in Moshurian have two forms: the '''infinitive''' and the '''accusative'''. The infinitive, like with verbs, is essentially the raw form of the noun, with no suffixes. The accusative is the infinitive + the suffix ''-géd'', and is used when a verb is ''acting upon'' an object in a sentence. There are some exceptions, such as nouns who's infinitive end with /ŋ/, such as ''[[Contionary:zazuŋ|zazuŋ]]'', and in this case the suffix changes from ''-géd'' to ''-éd''. | Nouns in Moshurian have two forms: the '''infinitive''' and the '''accusative'''.

===Tenses=== | |||
In Moshurian, there are four main tenses- the present, the future, the far future and the simple past. To indicate that a phrase is in a certain tense, an ''indicator'' is used just before the object, e.g. '''''öş''' gersetigéd kestolék''(I built a house). | |||

|} | |||
The present tense indicator, ''uź'', is used like a [[w:Accidental (music)|natural]] in music. By default, no indicator is used to indicate the present in a non-contextual sentence, but as indicators are continuous, meaning that if an indicator is placed then all succeeding sentences will be in the indicator's tense until a new indicator appears, ''uź'' may be needed to clarify that a sentence does not follow the tense of the previous sentence.<br> | |||
'''Example:''' ''öş abáragéd udubék. budur ibiş.'' - ''I went to the park. It '''was'''<ref>Note the continuous past tense.</ref> great.''<br> | |||
''ös abáragéd udubék. '''uź''' budur ibiş.'' - ''I went to the park. (The park) '''is''' great.'' | |||

in this sentence, ''[[Contionary:sö|sö]]géd'' is the object, ''[[Contionary:mosok|mosok]]'' is the subject, and ''[[Contionary:dáfhéromh|dáfhér]]éiméş'' is the verb with inflection. in noun phrases, Moshurian still uses the object-subject-verb structure. | in this sentence, ''[[Contionary:sö|sö]]géd'' is the object, ''[[Contionary:mosok|mosok]]'' is the subject, and ''[[Contionary:dáfhéromh|dáfhér]]éiméş'' is the verb with inflection. in noun phrases, Moshurian still uses the object-subject-verb structure. | ||
