The Topic in Primes

–

Topic is the first part of a sentence.

It means you declare what are you talking about first.

Then, you can make a sentence about it.

We use a V2 structure, that is a Verb Second position for the Verb or the auxiliary, or the copula.

If you're not talking about opinion, please put the Verb at the end.

This is used to add information on the conversation.

A conversation is "Verlaeksi", the "a" is mute.

During Verlaeksi, Topic will change a lot, but you can always go back and topicalize again by using a V2 setence, with Topic first.

The expression "during the conversation" is "Verlaeksylla".

Topic is "Taf", usually with the accusative -ta.

So, you can say: –– "Taftamme da (x)", that is –– "The Topic is (x)".

Don't forget to use the accusative, if you're talking to a close person, or else, the ergative (or absolutive) in a more formal situation, like at work.

We make different situations according to Relation (s).

So, the use of the language depends on with whom you're talking to, including to yourself.

Next time, we're going to see Relation particles.

For now, I hope you're enjoying the reading.

And,... Stay Plugged.
