Lesson 7: Numbers; Interjections; Verbs: Subjunctive & other stuff
NUMBRES
The numbers in Pacarian are all formed regularly. The rules are very easy.
From "Grammatique Pacariane":
In
Pacarian, there are cardinal and ordinal numbers.
to
form a number: 256
2
=> 100 is cente: 200 is docente
5
=> 10 is dize: 50 is cinquedize
6
=> size
=>
docente cinquedize size
also: 1000 => mille
10000 => dizemille
100000 => centemille
1000000=> millione
10000000=> dizemillione
and so on…
The
ordinal numbers: number + yame
256yr = docente cinquedize sizeyame
That's all you need to know!
INTERYECCIONES
What's there to tell about interjections...
Interjections are NOT necessarily followed by a comma. It's allowed but not required.
Frequent interjections are:
Don => So,...
Alor, Aste => Well,...
Aixi => Yeah! or Yes; Of course,...
VERBES: CONDICIONALE
The conditional is a tense on its own. It is used to express what would be expressed in English with the auxiliary "would". It is also formed with a stem, mark and endings.The mark is "-RIA-" and passive and perfect are formed as with the past and future tenses.

Well there's room for something else isn't there... well, then this is a good time for participles and executors. You know the past participle "participe perfecte" of a verb, (infinitive minus -r); but there is also a present participle "participe presente" (infinitive minus -er plus -ante).
Executors are the persons that "do" a verb. Like for the verb "burgle" => a burglar. In Pacarian these are formed like this: infinite minus -er plus -atore (male) or -atrice (female). And now it's time for a big review!
