Tish Grammar Basics

1. To make something plural, you repeat the word twice

2. All verbs exist only in present tense

3. To speak of something that happen in the past or future, you would say, “We run yesterday” or “We run tomorrow.”

4. When making sentences, adjectives always right after noun in order of importance.  You can tell a lot about a fairy by the way the order their adjectives

5. Prepositions always go right before noun

6. Adverbs usually go right after verb.  Time words go at start of sentence.

7. The only pronoun used is “we.”  Fairies think that names of things are very important, so they don’t like the idea of substituting pronouns for names.  They only use the “we” pronoun because it makes speech much easier, especially when talking about large groups.  Their word for “we” is “vay” 

8. no articles are used

9. “er”  and “est” endings are used.  Add “loom” to end of word instead of “er.”  Strong = la   Stronger = laloom  Add “loomva” to end of word instead of “est.”  Strongest = laloomva

10. Verbs all end in “ish”
