Rules of Grammar

  1. Make plurals with an "S" on the end of the word. If there are special ways to make a plural word, such as "ES" and "IES", use them.
  2. There are four wordends to change each of the 300 nouns: -"ER" and -"ING", and the two adjective wordends, -"ING" and -"ED".
  3. Make qualifiers from adverbs with the wordend -"LY".
  4. Talk about amounts with "MORE" and "MOST." Use and know -"ER" and -"EST."
  5. Make opposite adjectives with "UN"-
  6. Make questions with opposite word order, and "DO".
  7. Operators and pronouns conjugate as in English.
  8. Make combined words from two nouns (for example "" or "wordend") or a noun and a directive (sundown).
  9. Measures, numbers, money, months, days, years, clock time, and international words are in English forms.
  10. Use the words of an industry or science. For example, in this grammar, some special words are for teaching languages, and not part of Latika: grammar, plural, conjugate, noun, adjective, adverb, qualifier, operator, pronoun, and directive
  11. Every operation (with a few exceptions) must end in "i" or "í"
