Introduction: As you navigate the complexities of this language, you will encounter the VSO (verb-subject-object) word order, a departure from the familiar patterns that have shaped your understanding of language. In Presensia, this new structure serves to dismantle the barriers that separate us, to remind us that all things are connected in the dance of existence. Possession, that age-old concept that divides and conquers, holds little sway in this brave new world. In Presensia, the genitive case is a rarity, replaced by phrases that emphasize interconnectedness, with "-en" added to the noun, reflecting the unity that binds us all. This is a place where ownership is replaced by belonging, where we exist as part of a greater whole. "Si," the single article of Presensia, mirrors the essence of unity, encapsulating the English "the" in its unassuming form. In Presensia, linking verbs vanish, their absence leaving room for a deeper understanding of the ties that bind. Demonstrative pronouns "pe" and "ne" step forward to fill the void, guiding you through the world of "this" and "that." As you journey through this narrative, you will encounter "ta," the one pronoun that transcends the boundaries of human language, dissolving the illusion of separation and reminding us that we are all connected. This is a world where value judgments fade into the ether, replaced by neutral descriptions and contrasts that illuminate the world around us without casting shadows of judgment. In Presensia, we do not cling to the polarities of good and bad; we embrace the spectrum of experience, recognizing the beauty that lies within the contrasts. Individual nouns and pronouns dissolve into collective expressions and holistic descriptions, for in this world, we are not isolated beings, but interwoven threads in the fabric of existence. When we speak of concepts, we embrace the notion that they are part of ourselves, part of the collective consciousness that unites us all. So, as you dive further into the depths of this narrative, let the rules of Presensia guide you, allowing the language to reshape your understanding of the world and the connections that bind us all. In this sphere of linguistic evolution, you will come face to face with the true nature of existence, discovering the power that lies in the words we use and the connections they forge. Grammar Rules Here is an example of how grammar works in Presensia: "Alex looked at the sky and said, 'The bird, part of ourselves, is in the sky.'" "Su ta si skynen, 'Su si birden yün si skynen.' (Alex the sky, the bird part of ourselves is one with the sky.) Breakdown: -”Su:” Verb marker for who or what exists in the present - "Ta:” The pronoun “ta” is used in place of names, since names are only used intimately in Presensia. - "si skynen:” the sky with the suffix "-en" to emphasize interconnectedness with the speaker or the collective - "birden:” bird with the suffix "-en" - "yün:” Conjunctive marker indicating oneness with something Nouns In Presensia, nouns are an essential part of the language, representing objects, people, places, or ideas. Although traditional Presensian nouns once greatly diverged from their English counterparts, the Wordfall and subsequent merging of our worlds have fused the languages together. Consequently, Presensian nouns now resemble those in English, significantly simplifying the learning process for English speakers. Noun FormationTo create a noun in Presensia, you'll need to add either the suffix "-en" or "-nen" to the root word. The choice of suffix depends on the last letter of the root: - If the root ends in a consonant, add "-en" (e.g., "bird" becomes "birden"). - If the root ends in a vowel, add "-nen" (e.g., "house" becomes "housenen"). Examples: - Tree: treenen - Flower: floweren - Sky: skynen - Mountain: mountainen PluralsPresensia does not have a specific plural form for nouns. The same noun can represent a single or multiple entities, and the context of the sentence will clarify the intended meaning. Noun ModifiersIn Presensia, nouns can be connected using the particle "yün" to express a relationship between them. Examples: - Su si sunen yün si skynen. (The sun is one with the sky.) - Su ta yün si floweren, si treenen. (We are one with the flowers and the trees.) PossessionPresensia does not use possessive pronouns. Instead, the language employs "-en" or "-nen" suffixes to create a possessive form. When using the possessive form, the possessed noun is placed before the possessor noun. Examples: - My book: si booknen ta (the book of ourselves) - Your house: si housenen ta (the house of yourself) In Presensia, to indicate possession, follow these structural rules: Use the pronoun "ta" to represent "ourselves" as the possessor. In Presensia, the concept of possession is interconnected with the idea of being part of a collective whole. Place the...
