In this course, before we continue vocabulary by topics, we're going to kick you off with three "basics" lessons, to help you get a good grip on Litish first, so your foundation will be strong when you build higher, like the Litish Idiom "Build your foundation strong, and your life won't go wrong". The translation of that will be revealed later on, in the Idioms lesson, so as to avoid confusing you.

We know that teaching you vocabulary everyday isn't as effective as teaching you sentence structure and grammar, but we're just starting out now, so we'll take it slow, you can look at the sample sentences, and we'll slowly introduce Sentence Structuring.

SENTENCE STRUCTURE 1.0

In Litish, adjectives are almost always behind. For example,

The beautiful big green house/ The house beautiful big green

For verbs, they always come with a 'do' in front of them except during orders, where an 'o' is added to the front.

Egoii do portalize/ I write

O'portaliz! OR OPortaliz! / Write!

Tenses. There are many tenses, but this is a basic quick start to Sentence Structure, so we'll give you the pure basics.

Simple Tenses

Past - (dod) Portaliz

Present - (do) Portaliz

Future - (dor) Portaliz

In complex tenses, the verb is also changed, not only its prefix 'do'.

In extremely advanced Litish, you may learn User Tense and more, but we'll stick to this first. Take it EASY.

Questions

For questions, you have afew formats, we'll go more in-depth in the questions lesson that will eventually come.

Tuas e portaliz?

E tuas portaliz?

Portaliz tuas?

There are more complex forms, but we'll cover them in "Questions".

And we ALSO know that 'is' hasn't been covered yet, don't worry, it's in the next lesson.

Stay tuned for the Quizlet!
