english is an svo language.
this means that its word order goes subject → verb → object.
in the sentence 'i love you', 'i' is the subject, 'love' is the verb, and 'you' is the object.
fedin is an sov language.
this means that its word order goes subject → object → verb.
for sentences with only a subject and a verb, the word order is unchanged from english.
i sleep.
for sentences with multiple subjects, the subjects may be listed using the conjunction
you and i sleep.
for sentences with multiple verbs, the verbs may be listed using
i eat and sleep.
for sentences with a subject, a verb, and an object, a little rearranging is needed.
the sentence 'i love the sun' would be reworded to 'i the sun love'.
i love the sun.
for sentences with multiple objects, the objects may be listed using
i love the sun and the moon.
in english, adjectives typically come before the noun they modify ('white bone').
in fedin, adjectives always come after the noun they modify ('bone white').
white bone
for nouns with multiple adjectives, the adjectives may be listed using
small (and) white bone
note that in english, a set of adjectives typically has a correct order (compare 'big red apple', which is correct, with 'red big apple', which is incorrect).
in fedin, there is no such rule.
small white bone
white small bone
both of the above examples are correct.
in english, adverbs can come before or after the verb they modify ('we talk quietly', 'we quietly talk').
in fedin, adverbs always come before the verb they modify ('we quietly talk').
i quietly talk.
it's a little more complicated than this though.
technically, in fedin, adverbs always come after the subject of the sentence.
if there's an object in the sentence, the object will come after the adverb.
this means that a sentence like 'i eat rice quickly' would be reworded to 'i quickly rice eat' (and not 'i rice quickly eat').
i eat rice quickly.
