- "api surusukiń tinońmi teja saa" → "bees are insects that make a sweetner"
- -u → infinitive
- -ui → infinitive intransitive
- -ua → infininive transitive
- the infinitive conjugations allow a verb to act as a noun. verbs conjugated with "-u" stand on their own, and those with "-ui" or "-ua" accept subjects and objects

- "hoseku tou retu zea no hassa" → "eating is necessary for living"
- "resha raie suttua rezi" → "people talking with each other is good"

- these particles may also be placed between two complete sentences to coordinate them:
- "api kinetoi taso ka ra igaseń" → "bees pollinate, but I do not"
- me → and
- ni → or
- iti → because
- koń → so/and thus
- taso → yet
-
-misc particles:
- no → adverbialize
- "no" followed by a verb phrase will modify the postceding verb adverbally, with the modified verb acting as the subject in the adverbial phrase.
- "ka no kussi hoseki" → "I pitifully exist"
- "ka api no zoyai no hańshi ya saa" → "I am only a bee in reality"
- to → interrogative
- "to tai api soa?" → "are you bees?"
- tososeń → tag question
- "na yasa tososeń?" → "it's funny, isn't it?"
-
-numbers:
- a base 10 number system is utilized. there are words for 0-9 and powers of 10. to express a multiple of a power of 10, adverbialization is utilized.
- deku → 10
- no nani deku → 80
- a number with multiple digits can be expressed by modifying the subject with multiple numbers corresponding to the digit:
- api no nani deki jii → 89 bees
- a number with multiple digits can be expressed as a single noun in much the same manner via "ketu"
- no ni hoki no nani deku keta jiu keta → 389 (noun)
