Grammar

Carrajena is a Romance language, but has some odd features. It is VSO, but the subject is often left unstated if the verb conjugation alone makes it clear who the sentence is about. Most often the first noun or pronoun following the verb will actually be a direct or indirect object (pronominal indirect objects often come before the direct object). Subjunctive mood has many uses in C-a; one of the most important translates English phrases with let, may or should. Adjectives, other than articles, possessive pronouns and numbers, follow their nouns. Articles are used with practically all nouns even proper nouns and those modified by possessive pronouns (the my car, the Michael, etc.). Plurals of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and articles are formed by the addition of –s. Nouns are either masculine (ending in –u), feminine (ending in –a) or neuter (ending in –i); their adjectives and articles (except possessive pronouns and numbers) must agree in gender and number by adding the same ending as their noun.
