Crootch language

The Crootch, Krotol or Krozol language (baazdul Krotol '  / бааздул Кротоль [ba:zduɫ krotolʲ] or baazdul Krozol '  / бааздул Крозоль [ba:zduɫ krozolʲ]) is the main language of Crootchistan. The language is also widely used in El Kadsre and has a minority of speakers in Venezuela, the Russian Republic of Karelia, and Pansaura.

It is very far related to the Basque language, but, in general, the language is not similar to any existing language, especially in its sounding.
 * Speech example 1.
 * Speech example 2.
 * A dialogue (two people speaking).
 * A Crootch native speaker making a video at night.

The Crootch language uses a complicated system of tenses and cases and its grammar is very not typical for an European language as well as the grammar of the Basque language.

The language almost does not have borrowings and does not have articles at all. It also has no genders, except for some pronouns. Stressing in the language is not stabil. The order of words in the sentences is "free", therefore the words in the sentences can stay in any order (but still with some rules); as in English, in the Crootch sentences can be only one negation (although sometimes more than one negation can appear).

Crootch is an agglutinative language, what means that different suffixes and endings can seriously change the meanings of the words.

The names of the language
The original name Krotol'  / Кротоль comes from the Crootch word kroozo, meaning "a spirit". Another acceptable and equal variant of this name is Krozol'  / Крозоль.

In order to make the word Krotol'  to mean particularly the language (since this word can be added to mean any Crootch thing, for example, the Crootch culture (Krotol' asharuga)), the word baazdul, meaning "a language", is frequently added.

 

In English the language is officially called "Crootch [kʁu:t͡ʃ]", although the names "the Krotol language" and "the Krozol language" are absolutely acceptable for using as well;

Lexicon
There are almost no borrowings in the language; the words are often made by connecting roots, for example, balgoozvul ("computer") is made of balza ("to know") and goozvul ("an apparat, a device").

Syntax
The order of the words in the Crootch sentences is free (words can stay in almost any possible order), except for some rules like, for example, norha – "to be" always stands at the end of a Crootch sentence (although in songs it can be often ignored).

In the complicated sentences it is not needed to repeat du and duk (see the "Present Perfect" section) at the end of every part – it is allowed to put only one duk to the end of any complicated sentence: Eyeśi ruylung dzou, evarhum reylung duk [ɛjeɕɕi rujlung dzou, ɛvaʁum rɛjlung duk] – "When the brother had gone, the sister has come".

Alphabet and Phonetic
The five vowels have their long analogues. There are no cases when a long vowel can change the word's meaning therefore ignoring the long vowels never makes understanding of the speech harder.

  

Some of the consonants can be long too (gemination) and sometimes it can change the meaning: falguudum ("about the cave") – falguddum ("with the cave").

Present Simple and the rest
All the Crootch tenses, as opposed to the English ones, 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. The verbs conjugate only in the Continuous tenses.


 * In Present Simple the verbs never change. This tense is used to say about things you do always or in general:
 * Fingilla rou nevunga voshuge [fingila rou nɛvunga voʂugɛ] – "I see the friend often";
 * A-mikhlachi murhichi rou [a miɬat͡ʃi muɾit͡ʃi rou] – "I like to run / I like running".

En – "is / are"; this word can stay anywhere in the sentences, except for the ending:
 * 1) Doorka en echianeshi – "The song is enjoyable";
 * 2) En doorka echianeshi – the meaning of the sentence has not changed at all.

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

Interrogative sentences
Are mostly made by only changing intonation of speaking to the interrogative form, but sometimes the word zu (zun) – "whether, if (whether it is)" is used in the beginning or at the end:


 * Zun doorka echianeshi? – "Is the song enjoyable?";
 * Balza Miku, zu jarhi fishuak sitka? – "Do you know whether there is a shop closely?".

Participles
Are made by means of the next rules:
 * 1) if the verb ends with -a, it is always cut; if after or before cutting -a the verb ends with -m, -sh, -v, -r, -rh or -i, you add the ending -igu: varhum ("to come") – varhumigu ("coming"), gel'vetosh ("to improve") – gel'vetoshigu ("improving"), sarhami ("to understand") – sarhamigu ("understanding"), shoiva ("to write") – shoivigu ("writing") etc.;
 * 2) if the verb ends with -ru or -rhu, -u is cut and -gu is added: narhu ("to do") – narhgu ("doing"); mikaru ("to help") – mikargu ("helping");
 * 3) if the verb after or before cutting -a ends with -k or -g, -d, -kh, -z, -s, -khl or -n, you add the ending -u: shaltuk ("to sleep") – shaltuku ("sleeping"), bazda ("to locate, to situate") – bazdu ("locating, situating"), shaan ("to say") – shaanu ("saying"), divyenrokh ("to remember") – divyenrokhu ("remembering"), balza ("to know") – balzu ("knowing"), toivas ("to give") – toivasu ("giving"), dovalzag ("to approve") – dovalzagu ("approving"), shingyokhla ("to live") – shingyokhlu ("living");
 * 4) if the verb ends with -t, you add the ending -tu: tonk'yoshet ("to edit") – tonk'yohettu ("editing");
 * 5) as an exception, if the verb ends with -gami, the partciple ending is -dzu: shegami ("to speak") – shegamidzu ("speaking").

Adverbs
Are made by adding to the adjectives and the participles the ending -ya; moreover, if the word ends with a vowel, it is often cut (but this rule is never used if the word ends with a consonant): ashagel'  ("beautiful") – ashagel' ya ("beautifully"); turnrooki ("nice") – turnrookya ("nicely"); veeli ("funny, amusing") – veel' ya ("amusingly") etc.

Some exceptions:


 * dayogon ("exact") – dayogo ("exactly");
 * arvokhlu ("entire") – arvotuko ("entirely");
 * domasii ("strong") – domasko ("strongly");
 * cheagoon, cheakhla ("true") – cheango ("truly");
 * ravidzoki ("serious") – ravituko ("seriously");
 * mardrook, mardreel' ("constant") – mardrol'go, mardreel'go ("constantly");
 * tomishoogel' ("absolute") – tomishootu ("absolutely");
 * makhel'togu ("definite") – makhel'teve ("definitely").

Postpositions
The postposition -shot (-sho, if the first letter of the next word is t or d) can be added to the end of the adjectives, participles, sometimes verbs and nouns; the postposition means "completely, absolutely, fully, certainly":

 
 * ulumi-shot – "absolutely soft";
 * itump-shot – "certainly a fool";
 * En khluarhi vekhlaucorhi-shot – "The task is completely done".

The pospositions -yol' (sometimes -yoli) and -toki mean "very"; -yol' is used with most of the adjectives:

   
 * shufuri-yol'  – "very nice";
 * chorron-yol'  / chorron-yoli – "very bad".

The postposition -toki with the same meaning is used if the adjective ends with -l', l or ll;it is also used when the previous letter in the adjective is one of them:


 * tumunzel'-toki – "very scary";
 * otumaall-toki – "very important";
 * morshel-toki – "very dangerous";
 * śiugella-toki – "very wise".

This postposition is also used with all the adverbs:


 * gel'vedya-toki – "very well / so well";
 * oikhiya-toki – "very clearly / so clearly";
 * maakhgel'ya-toki – "very sorrowfully".

The most common postposition -ta (ta) is used with any part of speech and means negation:


 * m'yok-ta – "not a cat";
 * katoru-ta – "not kind";
 * sagamita – "not to forget".

The word aksh ("that") can be converted into a postposition, too:
 * 1) Eshekasum roiva, ni-torumekhlash [ɛʂɛkasum rojva ni-torumɛɬaʂ] – "I have explained that it is beneficial";
 * 2) Darumdzo, fingorhiel' nagash [darumdzo fingoɾiɛl nagaʂ] – "I think that you are intelligent";
 * 3) Sarhamdzo, ni-chorronksh [baɫdzo ni-t͡ʃor:onkʂ] – "I understand that it is bad";
 * 4) Tavekhi baldze, nin makhgel'yoksh [tavɛxi baɫdzɛ nin maxgeljokʂ] – "Nobody understands that it is a sorrow".

The possesive pronouns in Crootch are postpositions as well: Some constructions with postpositions are very complicated, but they are always used only by native speakers, and the people who learn the language easily can be understood without them:
 * afaik-yon – "my room";
 * afaik-yan – "your room";
 * afaik-yen – "his/her/its room";
 * afaik-yonu – "our room";
 * afaik-yon'  – "their room";
 * afaik-yan'  – "your (plural) room".


 * Baldzo, ni-chorron-yoliksh oodri-yol'kshatosh = Baldzo, aksh ni-chorron-yoli akshatosh oodri-yol' – "I know that it is very bad because it is very cruel";
 * ...tazugel'chudzayokshatosh... = ...chogiliizhe / cheango / makhel'teve gel'chudzayo akshatosh... – "(It can happen) surely because you will be performing".

Prepositions
The prepositions ina-, -na and nina- (kina- for the past tense) are used with nouns only, while no- is used only with verbs.

 
 * Ina- has the meaning of "this" and 'these"; na- has the meaning of "that (noun)" and "those"; śina- has the meaning of "this (noun) is, these (nouns) are":
 * ina-rukha – "this man"; ina-rukhash – "these men";
 * śina-rukha fingorhiel'  – "this man is intelligent"; śina-rukhash fingorhiel'  – "these men are intelligent".
 * O- is used to make the "self" verbs:
 * Veidzo a-shlizuuga ("I want to wash") – A-oshlizuuga veidzo ("I want to wash myself").

Degree of comparison
Degree of comparision always depends on the adjective's ending:

  
 * ashagel'  ("beautiful") – ashagella ("more beautiful") – ashagel' khe ("the most beautiful") or ashagel' zok;
 * shlirhuk ("wet") – shlirhuka   ("more wet") – orhishlirhuk  ("the most wet");'''
 * mautoru ("fast") – mautorua ("faster") – mautoruzok ("the fastest");
 * otumaall ("important") – otumaalla ("more important") – orhiotumaall / otumaallzok ("the most important");
 * ulumi ("soft") – ulumia ("softer") – orhiulumi ("the softest");
 * shukumaan ("strange") – shukumaana ("more strange") – shukumaanzok ("the most strange");
 * viidulikh ("clear") – viidulikhe ("more clear") – viidulikha ("the most clear");
 * fokhlovete ("interesting") – fokhlovetea ("more interesting") – fokhlovetezok ("the most interesting");
 * kiisko ("young") – kiiskoa ("younger") – orhikiisko ("the youngest").

Exceptions:


 * gel'ved ("good") – samkhet ("better") – gel'vezok ("the best");
 * domasii ("strong") – domassa ("stronger") – domazok ("the strongest").

To say that you, for example, like something the most, you always use zok:

Murhichi rou khleyne zok – "I like autumn the most".

The pronouns in Present Simple

 * nrou [nrou] – "I am";
 * naga [naga] – "you are (not politely)", Enmiku – "you are (politely)";
 * nrui [nruj] – "he is";
 * neiva [nɛjva] – "she is";
 * nin [nin] – "it is", the word na means "This one is", nichu – "these are";
 * naika [najka] – "we are";
 * naiga [najga] – "you are (plural)";
 * nrouku [nrouku] – "they are".

Future Simple
This tense is used when an action is meant to be in the future, but not a process. The Crootch ending for the Future tenses is always -yo. However, It can be added to any word in a sentence, not only to verbs. The same as in Present Simple, in Future Simple the verbs never change:
 * 1) Daoshook iflized rouyo varhuyokka coiva [daoʂo:k iflizɛd roujo vaɾujok:a t͡sojva] – "Maybe I will think this way in the future (but now I never think this way)", where rou means "I";
 * 2) Oikushi bezukulyo aika cheango [ojkuʂi bɛzukuɫjo ajka t͡ʃɛango] – "We will surely meet each other again (not once in the future)", where bezukul means "again and again".

Present Continuous
The Continuous tenses in Crootch are always used when the action is meant to be a process.

Verbs conjugate in these tenses with the next endings:
 * rou ("I") – -dzo;
 * aga and Miku ("you" – not politely and politely) – -dza;
 * rui / eiva / in ("he / she / it") – -dze / -dzel'  (usually if the verb already has l, ll or l' )   ;
 * aika ("we") – -dzu;
 * aiga ("you" in plural) – -dzal'   ;
 * rouku / innu ("they, it (plural)") – -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:
 * 1) shegami ("to speak") – shegamdzo;
 * 2) shekasum ("to explain, to say") – shekadzo;
 * 3) narhu ("to do") – narhudzo etc.

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

As opposed to English, the verbs of feelings, such as "to see", "to hear", "to love", can stay in Crootch in the Continuous tenses, but some Crootch verbs cannot stay in these tenses nevertheless: shamdzok ("to decide"), dzolg ("to open"), dzoshum ("to close"), toivatuka ("to trust") etc.

In the Crootch Continuous tenses some adjectives and adverbs can play the role of verbs, for example,
 * 1) Shufurdze bagol – "The day is nice (shufuri – "nice")";
 * 2) Ashagel' dza – "You are beautiful now (ashagel'  – "beautiful")";
 * 3) Du'ukhidzel'  rui – "He is behaving stupidly (du'ukhi – "silly, stupid")";
 * 4) Arhkyedzel'  m'yok – "The cat is here now" etc.

Past Continuous
This tense is made by means of the same endings as Present Continuous, but additionally by means of the ending -khe:
 * 1) Shlidzokhe – "I was crying";
 * 2) Narhudzakhe – "You were doing" etc.

This tense can be also made by using the pronouns in the "past" for like, for example, narhudzo naiś – "I was doing" (check out the "Past Simple" section).

Future Continuous
This tense is made by means of the same endings as Present Continuous, but additionally by means of the ending -yo  (and again, it does not matter to wich word in the sentence you add this ending):
 * 1) Shlidzayo – "You will be crying";
 * 2) Makhel'teve ni-narhudzo kishin'yakiyo – "I will be doing it these days for sure" etc.

Present Perfect
This tense is always used when it means that the action has been finished.

The tense is made by adding e- to the beginning of a verb. If a verb starts with i-, you cut it and add e- instead: narhu ("to do") – enarhu; ikushi ("to meet") – ekushi.

If the tense is used in a sentence without a pronoun, you must add du (singular) and duk (plural) to the end of the sentence:
 * 1) L'youk evarhum du [ljouk ɛvaɾum du] – "The boy has come / The boy came";
 * 2) Aakhlizhe velkhash enaak duk [a:ɬiʐɛ vɛɫxaʂ ɛna:k duk] – "The people ate / have eaten the food".

If the verb in the sentence ends with -da, then du and duk can stay in the beginning:

Duk velkhamura viadzuke ashagel' ekosheda [duk vɛɫxamura viadzuke aʂagel ɛkoʂɛda] – "The people have created a beautiful thing".

If there are the pronouns in a sentence, you need to convert them to the "perfect" form:
 * rou → roiva [rojva];
 * aga/Miku → teirhu [tɛjɾu];
 * rui → keirhu [kɛjɾu];
 * eiva → eiśi [ɛjɕɕi];
 * in → chin' [t͡ʃiɲ];
 * aika → dorhu [doɾu];
 * aiga → deirhu [dɛjɾu];
 * rouku → chigo [t͡ʃigo].

Examples: 
 * 1) Eyeśi dorhu ako [ɛjeɕɕi doɾu ako] – "We have left the house/We left the house";
 * 2) Kishiin' etuvumgekhla-ni eiśi [kiʂi:ɲ ɛtuvumgɛɬa-ni ɛjɕɕi] – "She has finished today";
 * 3) Esarhami keirhu tuvumgel'ya [ɛsaɾami kɛjɾu tuvumgɛlja] – "He has understood finally / He understood finally" etc.

By adding the ending -en to the pronouns in the perfect form you can express "already":

That can be also applied to the sentences without pronouns:
 * 1) Etoisheda roivaen [ɛtoiʂɛda rojvaɛn] – "I have already sent";
 * 2) Efekhlarhi eiśien [ɛfɛɬaɾi ɛjɕɕiɛn] – "She has already seen";
 * 3) Enarhu teirhuen chukuttu [ɛnaɾu tejɾuen t͡ʃukut:u] – "You have done enough already".
 * 1) L'youk evarhum duen – "The boy has already come";
 * 2) Velkhamura erhagekhli dokhluen – "The people have already forgiven me".

Future Perfect "Far"
The tense is used when it is meant that an action will happen in the future, but not certainly. As opposed to Present Perfect, in this tense you do not add e- to the beginning of a verb. Like in most of the Crootch future tenses, you add -yo to any word in the sentence:
 * 1) Chinooke dorhu lyeachugyo [t͡ʃino:kɛ doɾu ljeat͡ʃugjo] – "We will have found the forest (not certaninly)";
 * 2) Shekasum eiśiyo kara ni-khlaucorhi shigo [ʂɛkasum ɛjɕɕijo kara ni-naɾu ʂigo] – "She will have explained how we must do it correctly (but maybe she will have not)";
 * 3) Myekhotaryo tumukhla goondzu du [mjexotarjo tumuɬa go:ndzu du] – "The bird will have died soon (but maybe it will live)".

One verb is never used in the perfect tenses – ek ("to go").

Future Perfect "Close"
The tense is used when it is meant that an action will certainly happen in the nearest future. As opposed to the "Far" Future Perfect, you add the -ne / -me instead of -yo. If a verb ends with -a, -u or -i, these letters are often cut. If there are no any pronouns in a sentence, du and duk, as opposed to the "Far" future Perfect, are not needed:
 * 1) Roiva ikushime rumige [rojva ikuʂimɛ rumigɛ] – "I am going to meet a friend / I will have met a friend (very soon);
 * 2) Chugekhlame dorhu ina-mede [t͡ʃugeɬamɛ doɾu ina-mɛdɛ] – "We are going to climb this mountain / We will have climbed this mountain (very soon)";
 * 3) Ikachine l'youk tonokhle [ikat͡ʃinɛ ljouk tonoɬɛ] – "The boy will have learnt the lesson (very soon)".

Present Perfect Continuous
This tense is made by the same endings as the other continuous tenses, but to make this tense you, to addition to the endings of the Continuous tenses, need to convert the pronouns to the "perfect" form:
 * 1) Shegamdzu dorhu 3 (iru) lin'yok-doch [ʂɛgamdzu doɾu iru liɲjok-dot͡ʃ] – "We have been talking for 3 hours";
 * 2) Lyeayodzo voshuge roiva [ljeajodzo voʂugɛ rojva] – "I have been looking for a friend";
 * 3) Darumdzol'  chigo ashka-do [darumdzol t͡ʃigo aʂka-do] – "They have been thinking for a week".

If there are no the pronouns in a sentence, you add du (singular) and duk (plural) to the end of the sentence:
 * 1) Arbagol-do yevinrodze l'youk du [arbagoɫ-do jɛvinrodze ljouk du] – "The boy has been reading for the whole day";
 * 2) Ekhlkach arbagol-do mikhladzol' duk [ɛɬkat͡ʃ arbagoɫ-do miɬadzol duk] – "The girls have been running for the whole day".

Past Simple
This tense is used when you say about things, which you used to did in the past in general. The same as in Present Simple and Future Simple, in Past Simple the verbs never change; instead of it, you need to convert the pronouns into the "past" form or add du (duk):
 * rou → naiś [najɕɕ] ("I did, I was");
 * Miku, aga → cu [t͡su] ("you did, you were");
 * rui → yechi [jet͡ʃi] ("he did, he was");
 * eiva → aiśi [ajɕɕi] ("she did, she was");
 * in → ine [inɛ] ("it did");
 * aika → dorhua [doɾua] ("we did, we were");
 * aiga → aicu [ajt͡su] ("you (plural) did, you were");
 * rouku → cayemi [t͡sajemi] ("they did, they were").

Examples:
 * 1) Shel'mudzo, arhkye yechi ina-bagol-do [ʂɛlmudzo aɾkje jet͡ʃi ina-bagoɫ-do] – "I think he was here this day";
 * 2) Ca-shoyrukshi [t͡sa- ʂojrukʂi] – "It was terrible";
 * 3) Munchul'go Ine shelyoke samhke toiva [munt͡ʃulgo inɛ ʂɛɫjokɛ samxɛ tojva] – "In the past it had a better condition";
 * 4) A-fugosheda murhichi dorhua, dzou muk-doch [a-fugoʂɛda muɾit͡ʃi doɾua dzou muk-dot͡ʃ] – "We liked to draw when we were children";
 * 5) Shu'ul yozhi naak du [ʂuʕuɫ joʐi na:k du] – "The dog used to eat a lot".

Passive Voice
Passive Voice exists in the language only in two forms: present and future. It is made by using "to be" or the pronouns in the "perfect" form (but it is not necessary and the pronouns can stay in the "present" form) together with the prepositions ve- and yo-:
 * 1) Ni-venarhu [ni-vɛnaɾu] – "It was / is / has been made";
 * 2) En vesagami doorka [ɛn vɛsagami do:rka] – "The song was / is / has been forgotten";
 * 3) Vetumunzarhu nrou domasko [vɛtumunzaɾu nrou domasko] – "I was / am / have been strongly scared".

The preposition -yo is used when a verb already has -v-:
 * 1) Eiśi naceeyrhu falguuda yoravesha [ejɕɕi nat͡sɛ:jɾu faɫgu:da joravɛʂa] – "She was / is / has been born in a big cave";
 * 2) Yovungi varhuyokka naga chogiliizheyo [jovungi vaɾuyok:a naga t͡ʃogili:ʐɛjo] – "You will be / will have been noticed in the future for sure";

The ending -en added to the verbs can express "already":
 * 1) En rokkuon vekhlyeachugaen [ɛn rok:uon vɛɬjeat͡ʃuganɛn] – "The problem was / is already solved";
 * 2) Ni-venarhuen – "It has been already done".
