As a thought experiment primarily focused on vocabulary, Common Shidinn bears a grammar relatively simple, with limited parts of speech and affixes.
Parts of speech
There are three types of content words: nouns, verbs, and modifiers. We do not distinguish between verb and adjective as declinable words in Japanese and Korean, but in the following text, we use the word 'verb' for short. Most of the time, it is the verb that modifies another; modifier is a smaller set used to denote quantity, tense, and so on.
Noun
When nouns are related to one another, case phrases are used. Nominative and accusative are left unmarked.
| Case | Meaning | English |
|---|---|---|
| ' | Locative | in, on, at |
| ' | Dative | for, to, towards, than |
| ' | Ablative | from, according to, via |
| ' | Instrumental | using |
| ' | Comitative | with |
| ' | Genitive | of |
