komLang Grammar 1

komLang gramar involves both word order (like English) and indicator endings (like Latin/Spanish.) This double redundancy makes easy computer error checking, as well provides an "easy in" dialect for different native speakers.

Since you speak English, it's easiest if we introduce komLang word order grammar rules first. It goes like this:

Verb, 1st object , 2nd object, 3rd object

Tough, huh? Actually, 1st object is like "subject", 2nd object is like "direct object" and 3rd object is like "indirect object."

 
You give the ball to me

in komLang is:

Give You Ball Me.

Modifiers go after the word they modify


You give the red ball to me

in komLang is:

Give You Ball Red Me

Rationale

Most important words come first. Verb, then nouns (in order of importance.) Subject is 1st object.
2nd object is like direct object. But a "predicate nominative" is a 2nd object in komLang:

It is I

in komLang is:

It is me

Modifer after modified is reversed from English, but many other languages like it that way. Also, it preps the student for prepositional phrases (which go after modified in English).

The dog (in the house) is good.

In the house modifies dog and goes after dog.

The dog (brown) is good.

Brown modifies dog and goes after dog.
