The Syntax


The syntax is not primordial in Fremdo contrary to the other languages and habits.

  1. Generally, in the languages Roman one begins the more ones by the word important and one finishes the less ones by the word important.
  2. In other languages, notably in English it is the opposite.
    • Zi awto blue estas nove = Zi blue awto estas nove
    • La voiture bleue est neuve. The blue car is new.
  3. With the ending we can know where the noun positions, the adjective, the verb, etc...
  4. In other words that a sentence can be said by an English, understood by a French and in an opposite way.
  5. We will have the opportunity of talking about the accusative ulteriorly, that will be still more striking.


The Number


  1. Like in English, the adjective and the adverb are invariable.
  2. We have seen that the verbs are also.
  3. To mark the plural, one of the two next "ingredients" is needed:
    1. It suffices that only one word carries the notion of plural so that everyone the other that refer to it are automatically without being modified.
    2. To put a noun to the plural, one must add to the ending of the word the half-consonant -y.
      • zi dogo = the dog ; zi dogoy = the dogs ; dogo = a dog ; dogoy = dogs ; du dogo = two dogs ; multi da dogo = many dogs.
    3. We could write du dogoy to say two dogs, but two expresses already a quantity superior to one, therefore not need of plural. Ibidem for multe dogo.


The Negation


  1. Yes = yes and Ne = no, not.
  2. The negative words place themselves always in the face of the word that undergoes the negation.
    • The negative words are: ne not and the correlative ones beginning by neni-.
  3. Only one term suffices to give a negative sense to a sentence.
    • A double negative can highlight the opposite.
  4. Ni = nor, its use :
    • After ne or another ni.
      • Never after sen = without, one will use rather kay = and.
      • Never alone.


The Adverb


  1. As for NE, the adverbs position rather before the words that they modify, another example :
  2. ONLI = only.
    1. mi onli pasejis tier = I only went for a walk there
    2. mi pasejis onli tier = I went for a walk only there
    3. onli mi pasejis tier = Only me went for a walk there


Mi ne parolas pri tier buko. I do not talk about this book. Elu volas manjare bovajo kay rizo. They want to eat from the ox and from the rice.
Ne Ili parolas pri tier buko. It is not he that speaks about this book. Mi volis manjare ni bovajo ni rizo. I have wanted to eat neither ox nor rice.
Nu parolas ne pri tier buko. We speak, but not of this book. Nu volos manjare sen salo kay pebro. We will want to eat without salt and pepper.
