In Novial it is expressed with “bli” followed by the verb root: bli tucha (gets touched) bli tua (is killed, gets killed) in contrast to: es tuat (is killed, has been killed) Impersonal Verbs Impersonal verbs such as those which express the weather, existence etc. are not preceded by any subject. In English the subject used is essentially meaningless and is only a grammatical requirement. pluva (it is raining) sembla ke la varta (it seems that she is waiting) In cases such as the following the subject comes after the verb: esed markes sur li tere (there were marks on the ground = marks were on the ground) ha deveni plu evidenti ke... (it has become more evident that ..., that... has become more evident) Conditional Perfect and Future Perfect The English conditional perfect, “would have done”, is expressed in a similar way in Novial, i.e. “’vud ha fa”’. Remember that the auxiliary verb “ha” is followed by the verb root: vud ha resta (would have remained) si irge vud ha plugrandisa lu (if anyone would have increased it, if anyone had increased it) In English the future perfect is expressed as “shall have done” or “will have done”. Novial is similar (remember verb root after "ha"): Morge Charles sal ha ariva in London (Tomorrow Charles will have arrived in London) Future in the Past In English the future from a point in the past is expressed as “would do” or “was going to do”. Novial uses the past form of the future auxiliary verb, ‘’’sal’’, which is ‘’’saled’’’: Sir Charles dikted ke lo saled vada a London (Sir Charles said that he would go to London, was going to go to London) Sir Charles saled tre bald vada a London (Sir Charles was about to go to London) Suffix -IV(I) The suffix -iv(i) forms adjectives which mean doing naturally, or capable of doing (that can ...): hororisa – hororisiv ((to) horrify – horrible, terrible) ofense – ofensiv ((to) offend – offensive) nosa – nosiv ((to) harm – harmful) Suffix -FOY This adverbial suffix indicates a number of times or occasions something happens: un – unfoy (one – once) altri – altrifoy (other – on another occasion, another time) pluri – plurifoy (several – several times) Suffix -(T)IONE The suffix -(t)ione, forms a verbal noun which does not like those in -o denote simply the action of the verb, but partly the result (as a whole) or the resulting state, partly the way or manner in which something is done. Verbs ending in -e drop the -e and add -ione; others add -tione to the root verb. Many natural forms are formed this way. nara – naratione ((to) narrate – narration) instrukte – instruktione ((to) instruct – instruction) reputa – reputatione ((to) deem – reputation) Often the suffixes -(t)ione and -o are equivalent, meaning the process and result: konstata – konstatatione ((to) state – statement) konstata – konstato ((to) state – statement) Suffix -ARI The suffix -ari forms adjectives which mean agreeing with or fit for: popule – populari (people – popular) sisteme – sistemari (system – systematic) dokumente – dokumentari (document – documentary) Suffix -ESKA The verbal suffix -eska added to a verb denotes the beginning of an action or state. Added to an adjective it means begin to be (become): ama – ameska ((to) love – (to) fall in love) klari – klareska (clear – (to) become clear) kurse – kurseska ((to) run – (to) start running) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 100px|right|Novial flag Novial home – Pronunciation Guide Contents – Lesson 1 – Lesson 2 – Lesson 3 – Lesson 4 – Lesson 5 – Lesson 6 -Lesson 7 Prefixes – Suffixes
