All nouns must end in the letter "o" 

All verbs must end in the letter "a"

All adjectives must end in the letters "lane"

All adverbs end in "ö"
All numbers end in "si"

Alphabet

Stress is always on the first syllable of a word.

Letter Pronunciation
a [a]
b [b]
c [t͡s ]
d [d]
e [e]

g [g]

h [h]
i [i]
j [j]
k [k]
l [l]
m [m]
n [n]
o [o]
p [p]  
r [r]
s [s]
t [t]
u [u]
v [v]
w [v:]  
y [y ]
ä [æ]
ö [ø] 

' (no sound)

ŋ = /ŋ/ (ng combination in Finnish 

š [ʃ]

You can also use the cyrillic alphabet.

а = a

б = b

в  = v

д = d

е = e

и = i

й = j

к = k

л = l

м = m

н = n

ф = w

о = o

п = p

р = r

с = s

т = t

у = u

х = h

ц = c

ш = š

ь = '

ю  = ju

я  = ja

ӧ = ö

ä = ä

ы = y

ң = ŋ

š is found in all Uralic languages but is very rare in Finnish, though most people still know how to pronounce it. In Meänkieli š is typed "sj" but the sound is the same. ' does not make a sound but makes reading easier, since words can become very long when they are combined.

A word can have multiple endings so there is an order in how endings come. They are marked by a number.

SVO is used in informal speech but all word orders work


In Hungarian the word "to be" is usually at the end of the sentence, however here it is at the middle like in the Finnic languages.

In Finnish some words are prepositions and some are postpositions, in Uraliisho you can use a word as a postposition or a preposition freely.

In very formal writings, such as poetry or a religious book double vowels such as "aa" are marked by ´ on the top of a vowel, for example:

á = aa

é = ee

ó = oo

ú = uu

(not used with the vowels ä and ö)


Basic vocabulary

ma = i, me

tä = you

höö = he, she, ipå

make  = we, us

täke = you ( plural )

hööke = they

še = it

šeke = those, them, they



conjugations  ( ending number 14 )

sööha = to eat

(ma) sööham = i eat

(tä) sööhak = you eat

(make) sööhame = we eat

(höö,še)  sööhap = he,she, it eats

(täke) sööhata = you(plural) eat

( hööke/šeke ) sööhah = they eat


Past tense ( ending number 14 )

sööha = to eat

sööhajim = i ate

sööhajik = you ate

sööhajip = he,she, it ate

sööhajita = you(plural) ate

sööhajih = they ate

The endings are the same as in the present tense, however the letters "ji" are asserted before it


Negatives.

The endings remain the same, but the word "nem" is inserted between the pronoun and the verb. Negatives in all tenses are formed by putting the word "nem" after the verb.

ma nem sööham = i do not eat

tä nem sööhak = you do not eat


This works the same way with the past tense

Ma nem sööhajim = i did not eat

Tä nem sööhajik = you did not eat


Imperative (Ending number 14)

The imperative has the ending "pa" in every verb, if needed you can use the personal pronoun.

Sööhapa = eat!

Tä sööhapa = you eat!

Negatives work the same way

Tä nem sööhapa = you do not eat!



Passive verbs ( ending number 15 )

Passives are made just by adding "h" to the end of the word 

For past tense passive "jih"

sööhajih  

if you want to make it negative use the word "nem"

you can combine it with the pluperfect or the perfect or other verb endings to change its meaning. The passive usualy comes after them.

vajajip pakajanuhh = had been spoken

kas seel pakajah = is there (something) (being) spoken, is someone speaking there?




When the verb is passive, the subject undergoes the action rather than doing 

soomo voohtitajih 

finland was beaten


you can also use the passive ending to say "let's/ let us"

pakajah = let's speak


voohtitah še

lets win it!


Passive also means that it is not known who does the action

in England Finnish is not spoken

Eŋlandoben nem pakajah soomon nelvom


in England English is spoken

Eŋlandoben pakajah eŋlandon nelvom




Questions

Put the word "kas" to the start of a sentence or word to make it a question. 

kas tä vajak = are you


In Finnish you would use the endings ko/kö, but the word "kas" comes from Estonian.



( ending number 14 )

Uraliisho has these cases. ( the ending "o" is not gone when cases are put and it stays in the same place. )

The  plural ending is the same as the singular ending except it has the letter "k" or letters "ek" after it

Nominative: Ending - , Plural "k" ( basic word form )

Genitive: Ending "n", Plural "nek" ( of, 's )

Accusative: Ending "m", Plural "mek" ( Direct object )

Allative case : Ending "hos", Plural "hosek" ( to, onto, for )

Elative: Ending "co", Plural "cok" ( From, out of, about (something) )

Talo = house, home, building

tehka = to do, to make, to work

ma tehkajim talom = i made the house

for the past add "jiši" ( ending number 14 )

Sööhajišim = i would have eaten

Sööhajišik = you would have eaten

Sööhajišip = he/she would have eaten

Future

There is no way to indicate the future but contect is enough, tough you can use words like "tomorrow"

Comparatives

joojlane = good

töp joojlane = better

lektöpp joojlane = best


The words for "töp" (more) and "lektöpp" (most) have irregular endings and don't change the ending depending on wordclass




perfect ( ending number 14 )

use the ending "nuh", the ending is the same there also needs to be the word "vaja" with the verb conjugations in the middle to know which person is doing it.

ma vajam eelanuh

i have lived


tä vajak eelanuh

you have lived


For negatives put "nem" before the verb "to be"

tä nem vajak eelanuh = you have not lived


ma nem vajam elanuh = i have not lived


pluperfect (ending number 14)

These are formed the same way as the perfect except that the verb "to be" is in past tense

ma vajajim eelanuh

i had lived


tä vajajik sööhanuh

you had eaten


For negatives put "nem" before the verb "to be"

tä nem vajajik sööhanuh

you had not eaten



For the imperfect put the ending "ksi" after the word ending ( ending number 15 )

imperfect means that it happened in the past but it is still happening


for negatives put the word "Nem"in the middle

tä loovlakksi

you singed

tä nem loovlakksi

you did not sing

höö loovlapksi

he sang

höö nem loovlapksi

he did not sing

adjective that modifies the noun must agree with the noun, meaning it will have the same case ending inserted, if the adjective is united into the word it does not need it.

to say 1st 2nd 3rd etc

make the number an adjective

101 eksi´nolisi´ eksi

110 eksi´eksi´nolisi

155 eksi´ viisi´ viisi

1000 eksi´nolisi´ nolisi´ nolisi

1000 00 eksi´nolisi´ nolisi´nolisi´ nolisi´ nolisi

1 000 000 milesi

1 000 001 milesi´ekse

1 000 0100 milesi´ eksi´ nolisi´ nolisi

2 000 000 kaksi´ milesi

25 000 000 viišesi'viisi'milesi

The number system is much diffirend than it other languages, but by having this you only need to learn 11 numbers.

When uniting words

adjective comes first

then comes the verb

then the noun

lastly any other word type

if there is 2 of each class then the one whose first letters are alphabetically first come first

Put ' between words when uniting them (doesn't change the sound)


To say a nationality of a person you could use the adjective ending, tough if it is a noun add the word "ihmino"

soomo = finland

soomlane = finnish (adjective)

soomlane'ihmino = (a) finnish person


to say a baby of an animal you would put "vaawlane" in the start


kuto = dog

vaawlane'kuto = puppy

macko = cat

vaawlane'macko = kitten


You can unite the adjective and the noun into 1 word. When this is done only the last word in conjugated, but the adjective keeps its word class ending.


days of the week and months

just add a number and the word for day or month

eksi'päävo = monday "first day"

eksi'kuuvo = January


Loanwords

These words can be loaned: place names, animal names, plant names, (any names), mathematical, grammatical, inventions  or philosophic things Loaning is based on pronunciation
