Now that you know the basic sounds, symbols, and first words of Eldaran, it is time to start building more complex sentences. A language comes alive not only in single words but in the way words combine to express thoughts, questions, feelings, and actions. In this chapter, you will learn how to expand your vocabulary, use verbs effectively, add adjectives, and form natural sentences that can convey ideas clearly.
1. Expanding Your Vocabulary
A language is only useful if you have enough words to communicate. Here are some additional nouns, verbs, and adjectives to increase your expressive power:
Nouns (Things and Concepts)
ren – child
dra – enemy
sev – sign or symbol
vara – sky
manu – food
sov – blood
nom – name
thal – world
Verbs (Actions)
ser – speak
ven – listen
tan – eat
nor – sleep
var – go / move
az – know
loth – see
Adjectives (Describing Words)
kel – good
eld – old
nur – new
ar – great
Practice tip: Make five sentences using the new words and the SOV order. For example:
Mi ren tan-o manu. – I child eat food.
Sa dra loth-a te shal. – He saw the enemy tree.
Min var-i te dom. – We will go to the house.
Speak them aloud until they feel natural.
2. Adjectives in Eldaran
Adjectives in Eldaran always come before the noun they describe. They do not change for plural nouns.
kel dom – good house
eld shal – old tree
nur sev – new sign
You can combine adjectives in a series to give more description:
ar kel shal – great good tree
Practice tip: Describe the objects around you using Eldaran adjectives:
eld dom – old house
kel manu – good food
3. Possession and Relationships
You already learned the possession suffix -sul. Let's practice it with the expanded vocabulary.
Mi-sul ren – my child
Ti-sul nom – your name
Sa-sul dra – his/her/its enemy
Min-sul shal – our tree
Possession can also be combined with adjectives:
Mi-sul kel dom – my good house
Sa-sul eld ket – his old stone
This allows you to express complex ideas simply and clearly.
4. Forming Questions Naturally
Questions in Eldaran are always formed by placing ka at the end of a sentence. There is no need to change word order or add auxiliary verbs.
Ti loth-o ka? – Do you see?
Mi tan-o ka? – Am I eating?
Sa az-o ka? – Does he know?
You can also include adjectives and possession in questions:
Ti mi-sul kel dom loth-o ka? – Do you see my good house?
Min ar sev loth-i ka? – Will we see the great sign?
Practice tip: Try converting your daily thoughts into Eldaran questions.
5. Using Negation
Negation in Eldaran is simple and consistent: place na before the verb.
Mi na az-o. – I do not know
Sa na tan-a. – He/she did not eat
Min na var-i. – We will not go
Negation works in combination with adjectives and possession:
Mi na mi-sul kel dom loth-o. – I do not see my good house
Practice tip: Speak aloud five negative sentences describing objects around you.
6. Connecting Ideas
Once you know multiple words and basic sentence structures, you can begin connecting ideas. Eldaran uses simple conjunctions to link sentences or thoughts.
a – and
o – or
na – but / however
Example sentences:
Mi tan-o manu a mi var-o te dom. – I eat food and I go to the house.
Sa loth-o te shal o sa loth-o te ket. – He sees the tree or he sees the stone.
Mi loth-o te sor na mi loth-o te lun. – I see the sun but I do not see the moon.
Practice tip: Create three sentences connecting multiple ideas. Speak them aloud slowly, paying attention to flow and stress.
7. Expressing Time
Eldaran expresses time primarily through verb suffixes:
-o – present or habitual action
-a – past action
-i – future action
You can also indicate general time words:
nu – today
thu – yesterday
vi – tomorrow
Example sentences:
Mi tan-o manu nu. – I eat food today
Sa var-a te dom thu. – He/she went to the house yesterday
Min loth-i te sor vi. – We will see the sun tomorrow
Practice tip: Try forming sentences about your daily life using these time words.
8. Simple Expressions and Commands
Eldaran can be used for commands or instructions. To form a simple command, use the verb root with no suffix.
Tan! – Eat!
Var! – Go!
Loth! – See!
You can add adjectives or nouns for clarity:
Tan manu! – Eat the food!
Var te dom! – Go to the house!
Practice tip: Practice giving commands to yourself or a friend in Eldaran. This helps internalize verbs and structure.
9. Practical Sentences to Learn
Here are some sentences that combine all you have learned so far. Speak them aloud several times until they feel natural:
Mi tan-o manu. – I eat food
Ti loth-o te shal ka? – Do you see the tree?
Mi-sul kel dom var-o. – My good house goes (I go to my good house)
Sa na loth-a te dra. – He did not see the enemy
Min ar sev loth-i ka? – Will we see the great sign?
Mi loth-o te sor a mi loth-o te lun. – I see the sun and I see the moon
10. Speaking Exercises
Pick five new nouns and five new verbs. Make three sentences each.
Form two questions and two negative sentences using the same vocabulary.
Connect two sentences with a conjunction.
Say aloud a command using one of your verbs.
By practicing daily, you will start to think in Eldaran instead of translating from your native language. This is a crucial step toward fluency.
