Alhi language: Difference between revisions

The different noun cases perform different functions in nouns. This section will cover what each of them does individually.

The locative case simply marks the location of a noun. It can also mark movement like an ablative. Number is not distinguished in this case, only definiteness is.  

The regular imperative is used to convey commands and orders with a sense of informality. It is used when one wishes to order someone that would be addressed with ''mon''.  

The interrogative mood is used to form questions, like the subjunctive mood. It also only distinguishes the present, past, and future tenses in the non-aspectual aspect. Interrogative statements may be optionally accompanied by a clause-final particle ''il''.  

The habitual aspect in Alhi is the second of the two synthetic aspects in Alhi. It is used to describe permanent or long-lasting states of being and actions that occur habitually or repeatedly. The habitual aspect distinguishes less moods and tenses than the non-aspectual, as it only has an indicative - in which the present and past tenses are distinguished - and a subjunctive with no tense distinctions. All of the forms of the habitual are formed with an ''e(h)-'' prefix.

The present indicative habitual is used to describe on-going or current habitual actions and states. The forms for this are derived from the non-aspectual indicative present forms.
