The overall syntax of Darynese is OVS, with the placement of indirect objects at the end of a sentence. The verbs are conjugated based on politeness and evidentiality, but only the polite positive ('-se') tense is used in this passage. The suffix -ril is used to turn a verb into a participle (with -rilpa serving as the negative form of the participle). This also can be used to make compound verbs or identifying clauses, some of which can border on subordinate clauses. All verbs are listed in their infinitive form in the list of words.

Darynese has ten genders for its nouns, though the nouns used here only cover seven -- I marked the genders of any nouns in the vocabulary list in parentheses. A noun is pluralized by the prefix 'al-', the posessive is marked by the suffix '-naim', an indirect object is indicated by the suffix '-kul'.

Adjectives and adverbs precede the word they modify, and change ending to match the gender of the noun. Adverbs (and adjectives modifying neuter nouns) are left in the root forms.
