Emturo (Emtúro, /emˈt̪uʁo/,) is a semi-natural constructed language (conlang) designed to be a Slavic inspired romance language, similar to Romanian. The language utilizes the Latin script with additional diacritics to some letters to make up for extra phonemes.

Grammar

Emturo follows accusative morphosyntactic alignment. The use of grammatical cases is only apparent with the accusative case for most aspects excluding the pronouns, which are affected by the dative case in sentence structures. Emturo has no auxiliary aspect to verbs and has no distinction between coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. Questions are created by either flipping the verb and subject order in regular sentences, or through verbal tonal shifts.

Word Classes

Nouns

Nouns come in to genders, masculine and feminine, they are inflected based on plurality and are the core part of any sentence, having an effect on the structure of sentences. Almost every part of speech can be transformed into nouns through the use of affixes.

All nouns are given the -(o/a)s suffix based on gender for plurality. There exists no mass nouns

Singular

• Ęncacsa
• Lemór

Plural

• Ęncacsas
• Lemóros

Due to there being no official genitive pronouns, to express ownership of something in Emturo you have to say of-owner, i.e of me, e.g the dog of me ( da turo dolá ).

Adjectives

Adjectives are inflected by the noun in which they describe (referents). They are inflected by plurality and gender, ignoring grammatical case. They are placed after the noun their referent and take a different ending to match the noun e.g guáro 'good', dés turos guáros '(the) good dogs'.

Adjectives can also be inflected with affixes in the comparative or superlative with the mas-, and -(o/a)má affixes respectively (e.g masemasza, more difficult | emaszamá, most difficult).

Verbs

There are 2 types of regular verbs. Type one ends with any of the following endings: -or, -ar, -er, -ir. Type two ends with -ír. Each type has their own conjugation patterns and the only exception to this rule is irregular verbs, with no predictable system. Conjugations are separated into the Simple and Perfect, then further subdivided into Simple Past, Simple Present, Simple Future, and Perfect Past. Verbs are also conjugated into moods, containing the Subjunctive and Imperative, also being conjugated for the Continuous.

When conjugated the ending is dropped and replaced with the conjugation.

Syntax

Emturo syntax is generally isolating.

Simple Constituent Order

Emturo, like other romance languages, follows the subject-verb-object (SVO) word order and can create verb clusters at the beginning of sentence.

Objects within sentences are generally marked in case by their article. While not strict, generally dative objects come before accusative objects when creating sentences. Accusative pronouns also are unique by prefacing the conjugated verb. Nouns themselves are noninflected by case, pronouns and articles on the other hand are inflected by the oblique case.

El La gerundajo erócs-m.

S IO V O

He is giving her an apple.

With sentences that have a time adverb preceding the verb, the subject and the verb swap places. Uncommon in spoken Emturo due to confusion with question sentence construction.

Adamąndo Te gerunda A le.

ADV IO V S O

I am giving it to you again.

Forming Questions

Yes-no questions don't exist in favor of echo answers. Creating a question changes the form of the sentence, having the verb precede the subject, not the dative pronoun.

Adamąndo Te gerunda A le?

ADV IO V S O

Am I giving it to you again?
