Nouns

Number and Gender

There is no number and gender declination in the Dousha Language, in other hand, these details do not matter in the grammar. In spite of it, there is a -im suffix that can be used to indicate the plural, and also for adding emphasis to.

Yoko ga truon ni benkyosut.

The girls are studying in the school.

Yokoim ga truon ni benkyosut.

The girls are studying in the school.

Note that the two setences above are translated in the same way. But the second one seems more defined than the first.

For gender, there is no suffixes or other elements to change the gender of any noun. So gender is marked by different vocabulary entries such as sam "father" and kaa "mother".

Adjectives

In Dousha language, adjectives are like verbs. So they can be conjugated by tense and mood.

All adjectives ends with -i at their present forms.
