Nouns | ====Nouns==== | ||
Adjectives | There are no cases in Kaidu. Possession is shown with -i on the possessor. | ||
Adverbs | ====Verbs==== | ||
Verb conjugate for tense and moods. There are also several aspect prefixes that are lexical in nature. | |||
Derivational morphology | |||
====Adjectives==== | |||
Adjectives work almost exactly like verbs, they end in -ra instead of just -a. One does not use the verb for "to be" with adjectives and instead conjugates the adjective ending to the appropriate tense. You use the participle ending to apply an adjective to a noun. | |||
====Adverbs==== | |||
Adverbs are just adjectives. To make an adjective an adverb, use the participle adjective before a verb instead of a noun. | |||
