"-ir"- Now
"-ta"- Near Future
"-tu"- Far Future

"-ya"- Quality of a verb(Financially, Joyfully, Happily, Rageful)
"-fa"- Quality of an adjective
"-ga"- Quality of an adverb
"-fi"- How do I explain this...aha! (Example: Dance-->Dancer, Work-->Worker)
Sentence making:
Rules:
1. All nouns and pronouns's adjectives must go after the noun or pronoun.
Example: Taru ji'er eši'sa ek šana'sa.
Translation: She is exceptional(perfect, excellent) and sane(moral).(English)
2. Same for verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and their adverbs.
Example: Ariana ji'ui pax čerfui'sa iki ui。Taru ji'ui kiafi'ui jori'fa.
Translations: Ariana was a cheerful person in the past. She was a joyous(joyful) dancer.(English)
Ariana was person cheerful in distant past. She was dancer joyous(joyful).(Literal)
3. When naming places(any), you must first mention the place(store, city, park) and then its name and optionally, what is about.
Example: Tiru ji Lanšu Kyogre.
Translations: That/This is Kyogre(in this case, city).(English).
That/This is the city of Kyogre.(English)
That/This is city Kyogre.(Literal)
4. When listing nouns and pronouns, and adjectives and adverbs, the order must be alphabetical.
Example: Diši ji'ir Adrian, Katrina ek Ursula.
Translations: They are Adrian, Katrina and Ursula.(English)
They is Adrian, Katrina and Ursula.(Literal)
Example: Īshi ji eši'sa, faru'sa ek uru'sa.
Translations: He is exceptional(perfect, etc.), talented(gifted) and healthy.(English)
5. There is no "the", unless it is needed like in this sentence.
Example: Tai rongon ji'ir eši'sa.
Translations: The king is perfect(exceptional, etc.).(English)
"The" is only used to refer to people with political or economic power over society, or just something important. Like this:
Example: Tai shoui rasha jahoan?
Translations: Is the show about to start?(English)
The show about to start?(Literal)
6. 。is used when you finish a sentence, yet you are still talking(see Example of rule 2). When speaking, this does little to no effect.
7. Institutions, companies, organizations, etc., are named like places: first the type of organization(institution, non-profit, company, political party, organization, etc.), and then its name.
Example: Tiru ji conpanče Apple.
Translations: That/this is Apple.(English)
That/this is the Apple Company.(English)
That/this is the company of Apple.(English)
That/this is company Apple.(Literal)
8. It is not necessary to implicate time(that is what the suffixes are for).
Alphabet:
A, B, Č(Ch), D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, Š(Sh), T, U, V, W, X(Also ts sound), Y, Z(Ss), Ð(ð)(Th), Ж(Ks), Я(Rr)

MORE LANGUAGES???
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
RE: Cathinian Language Academy- Learn Cathinian! - The Solar System Scope - 12-24-2015
What difference is there between S and Z? Also, what on Earth are Anglo Vowels?
Also, this reminds me, I should probably work on my language too, and finish two months worth of newspapers.
RE: Cathinian Language Academy- Learn Cathinian! - Ryccia - 12-24-2015
S is one (s), where as Z is a double (s) sound.
Anglo Vowels are the vowels, but with the sound of english vowels.

What's the difference between single and double [s]?
Also, all vowels have a variety of sounds. Cat vs. car, be vs. bet, bin vs. bind, no vs. not, bun vs. Buick vs. quick.
