Odanyo's basic word order is Verb Final. This often appears as SOV Word order, but with the use of the topic, accusative, and dative affixes it can become OSV or Topic-Comment.
Odanyo has Gapped Clause-First relative clauses. So "The man [who bought the house] is my father ." becomes "[house bought] man is my father." (although in SOV not SVO).
Odayno has four tenses; Past, Near Past, Present and Future. Near Past is often used to mean anything in a week, year, decade, or century depending on context. Odayno has three aspects; Imperfective, Perfective, and Habitual. The unmarked Tense-Aspect pair is Present-Imperfective.
Verbs have pronoun marking for both the subject and the direct object. The prefixes go Subject-Object-<verb>. So for "I love you." it becomes 1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I-2SSecond person singular (person)
addressee (you)-love. This verbal marking makes it so pronouns often get dropped in sentences.
In Odayno the word for emotion "Vyomo" is often wrapped around a sentence or phrase to show that it is describing a emotion. This gets used with less literal and more poetic/descriptors of emotion. So phrases like "I really hate" don't get it added but sentences like "It was a flower field of memories." have "Vyo -mo" added on. Some poets choose to leave it out as a form of poetic license, but in everyday speech it is used, especially by neurodivergent folk or young children.
To ask a question in Odanyomupo you move the verb to the beginning of the sentence.
In Odanyo nouns can have connotation marked with the prefixes "nyo-" (negative) and "ya-" (positive). This practise is completely optional, but used to add emphasis or help get more subtle meaning across. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
