Basic Adjectives And Direct Objects | Worldbuilding For Bluesky | 6

Kiyagi is a Noun-Adjective language, and so I would need to take into account the position of these basic adjectives.

Basic Adjectives

I would expect to create words such as:

Adafhas

[great forest]

Direct Objects

Təztel dòkóhóban s’nʲefehedz

[You will be moving [it] the thick tree]

This is where I continue to deviate from the inspirational nucleus and more into establishing unique features organically. I figured that if I were to indicate the object that is the direct receiver of the action, as in the case of the thick tree being moved, then instead of using prepositions, I would use the 3rd person object enclitic form. It would establish what “it” is, and it would differentiate from a sentence like:

Təztel dòkóhó wos’nʲefehedz

[You will be moving TO the thick tree]

A nuance that I will add is identifying the direct object by using the 3rd person object enclitic form while removing the ending vowel. You would not want to confuse a Kiyagi speaker by talking about “it” and “the thick tree.” They would probably inquire what “it” is accompanying the thick tree.

At that point, the thick tree is the dative, indirect object, while the thick tree in the previous sentence would be the direct object. As such, I can expect to create long complex sentences from this point on including direct and indirect objects such as:

Busidlez fùnʲú:bun s’ngohosanʲo wobana?

[When did we [here] bring the round fruit to him [somewhere close]?]
