I dont understand how I can make the words as the or of and things like that I know you use prefixes such as ri for topical things and what does dative and all of those other things mean I feel pretty behind not knowing all of this but I just dont get how that works. Also how come there are different words for the same word?
Such as song
way is song
so is tirol
how does that work
someone please help

-the words "the" and "a" do not exist
-there can be multiple words that mean the same thing.  you can use either one
-check the download section on the homepage.  those documents should answer a lot of your questions.

Don't get too worried lol.  You aren't that far behind.

Okay so talking about suffixes. The dative suffix (-ru) is attached to the end of a noun to mark that it is the recipient of something, be that an action or an object etc. For example: Eytucan-l Neytiri-ru tsko-ti tolìng (Eytucan gave the bow to Neytiri)    Neytiri would have the -ru suffix attached because she recieved the bow from Eytucan. The genitive suffix (-yä) is attached to a noun to show that that noun has possession over something else, such as: Amhul-yä ikran (Amhul's banshee). The other suffixes (-ri, -l, and -ti) are a bit trickier to understand, but here's a helpful link for basic understanding of prefixes, suffixes, and infixes: http://forum.learnnavi.org/index.php?topic=353.15
Hope this helps, good luck!

This information is being updated here, that thread has been considered somewhat obsolete by the moderators.

You can find infixes by searching for them under infix in this dictionary.
