Grammar
The overall syntax of Darynse is OVS. The verbs are conjugated based on politeness level and evidentiality. There are four levels of politeness in Darynse. 'Casual' is used for two equals in an informal setting. It is usually only used among family or close friends. 'Polite' is the standard tense for two equals. 'Authoritative' is used when the speaker is in charge of the listener -- most often with teachers, bosses, and adult relatives speaking to students/employees/children. Using it all the time makes you look rather egotistical. As for the evidentiality, Darynese verbs can be conjugated based on whether they are positive (the speaker knows this to be true), negative (the speaker knows this to be false) or positive or negative hearsay (the speaker is uncertain of the truth of the statement, but thinks it is either true or false). The Darynese verb ai (to do) is irregular. Adding /-ra/ to the end of the verb changes the meaning. For an authoritative verb, it turns the sentence into a command. The suffix -ril is used to turn a verb into a participle. Adjectives and adverbs proceed the word they modify, and change ending to match th gender of the noun. Darynese has ten genders. The ones used in the above paragraph are listed in the suffix part of the glossary. Adverbs are left in the root forms. Note that these rules are also used on participles. An indirect object is indicated by the suffix /-kul/.
