| Smooth translation: |
We tell to you a story about a man named Malero.
Last winter, he was happy.
His home was a tall stone building in the stony-desert near the sea. He searched
for white, glassy ships and he waited.
A large bird stood on his shoulder, and he tried to force it to leave, but he
couldn't grab the bird. The animal held with its talons, finally, when he saw
the teacher's ship.
Scared, he entered the ship. The teacher greeted him with her hand. He was happy
as the ship moved towards the sea. |

| Grammar notes |
The overall syntax of Darynse is OVS. The verbs are conjugated based on
politeness level and evidentiality. There are four levels of politeness in
Darynese, but only one (polite) is used here. As for the evidentiality, Darynese
verbs can be conjugated based on whether they are positive or negative.
The suffix -ril is used to turn a verb into a participle. This also can be used
to make compound verbs (riril-tusreo (to want to pilot)) or identifying clauses
(ririli-ritryn (the bird that is flying)).
Adjectives and adverbs precede the word they modify, and change ending to match
the gender of the noun. These are listed in the affix section. Adverbs are left
in the root forms. Note that these rules are also used on participles.
A noun is pluralized by attaching /al-/ to it as a prefix. An indirect object is
indicated by the suffix /-kul/and is usually attached to the verb. A noun can be
turned into an adjective (if an adjective doesn't exist already) by adding the
possessive -naim. |
