Syntax.

In a simple sentence the subject comes first and the verb last, with the object between them.

Ana I otsi rice tsoka. will eat.

Adverbs usually come first.

Ochü To-morrow ana I otsi rice tsoka. will eat. [[220]]

Interrogative adverbs, however, often follow the subject.

Chongsemo Chongsemo kothang when rov? will come?

Possessive nouns and pronouns precede the thing possessed, but adjectives follow the noun they qualify.

Ana I Chongsemo Chongsemo’s ’tsi rice mhōna good tsoka. will eat.

In compound sentences the principal clause stands last.
