Grammar
The order of the words in sentences is free, except for some rules, for example, norha - "to be" always stands at the end of a sentence. Plural is made by means of tne endings -ch (if a word ends with a vowel) and -ach (if a word ends with a consonant); if a word ends with kh, then plural is made by means of the ending -sh.

The Crootch grammatic cases with examples are present below. Crootch tenses, as opposed to English, must be very precisely used. For example, if you have a thing or if you see something exactly now, you must necessarily use Present Continuous. Verbs conjugate only in the Continuous tenses. 
 * Rumig – "a/the friend".
 * Nevudzo rumigE – "I see a/the friend (now)".
 * Ak rumigU – "the/a house of a/the friend".
 * Toivotaas rumigAD – "to give to a/the friend".
 * Teirhu voshug-DO, nay gel'ved, norhayo – "You will be a good friend (rumig and voshug have the same meaning)"; Mekhlate-O bagol norhayo – "The day will be warm".
 * Nuoriyoodzo nuoriguk-DO – "I am drawing with a pencil".

Present simple
Verbs never change. This tense is used to say about things you do always or in general: Fingilla rou nevunga voshuge - "I see the friend often"; Murhichi rou a-mikhlaitok - "I like to run/I like running".

En – "is/are": Doorka en gel'ved – "The song is good".

Pronouns:

nrou – "I am";

naga – "you are (not politely)", Enmiku – "you are (politely)";

nrui – "he is";

neiva – "she is";

nin – "it is";

naika – "we are";

naiga – "you are (plural)";

nrouku – "they are".

Another construction means using nay – "which/who is/are": Doorka, nay gel'ved – "A song, which is good"; Velkha, nay shufuri – "A person, who is nice".

Present continuous
Verbs conjugate in this tense with the next endings: rou ("I") – -dzo; aga and Miku ("you" – not politely and politely) – -dza; rui/eiva/in ("he/she/it") – -dze/-dzel' ; aika ("we") – -dzu; aiga ("you" in plural) – -dzal' ; rouku ("they") – -dzol'.

Making the Continuous form out of a verb can be a problem for those, who do not speak the language: it is not always clear how to make this, for example, shegami ("to speak") – shegamdzo; shekasum ("to say") – shekadzo; shenarhu ("to admit") – shenarhudzo etc.

Pronouns in the Continuous tenses are almost always not used because the verbs have enough information.
