Part of Speech
Arka has 8 parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, independence, caser (preposition), conjunction and interjection.
Independences are words which occur at the beginning or end of a sentence to modify the whole sentence. It's like "unfortunately," in English.
There are beginning independences and ending independences. Ending independences express speakers' emotion.
Casers are prepositions.
"Because" is a conjunction in English, but "man" (because) is a beginning independence in Arka.
Word order determines the part of speech of a word. Unlike Esperanto, there are no rules like "nouns end up with "o"."
"miik lis" means "little apple." In Arka, adjectives come after nouns, so you can judge that "lis" is the adjective.
The word order of Arka is SVO.
"A boy likes a girl" is "alfian (S) siina (V) fian (O)."
Adjectives and adverbs come after nouns and verbs, but some of them come before nouns and verbs.
postpositive: miik lis (little apple)
prepositive : en ke (don't go)
