== Adpositions == The Orian language makes use of adpositions, which are particles and words that are mostly used to indicate the flow and objects of the conversation. One of such adpositions is the -mo suffix, which indicates the focus of a conversation.<br/> In the sentence <code>ie pankeki<b>mo</b> oraga</code> (I ate [a] pancake) Another adposition is used in the same way that the verb to be is used in the English language. It can be used as ''un'' (used as "is"/"am") or ''en'' (used as "are"). In less formal situations, it can be fully dropped.<br/>Example: <code>via <b>un</b> Yuukila</code> (You are Yuuki/Your name is Yuuki) The composition adposition used in the Orian language is ''hio''. It can indicate what an object is made in/of/with.<br/>Example: <code>moika en kiaorile <b>hio</b> lageruka</code> (These are Orian books) The content adposition used in the Orian language is ''vaa'', to indicate when the subject of the sentence is in/inside/within the object.<br/>Example: <code>via en naieushumo <b>vaa</b> aije</code> (You're inside the house) The ability adposition used in the Orian language is the suffix ''-giji'', and the causal adposition is ''yoi'', to indicate, respectively, an ability or disposition, and the cause of an event happening in an object or subject.<br/>Example: <code>ie vaa aleriji aijego, <b>yoi</b> moimo neora<b>giji</b>, doumai</code> (Sorry, I'm allergic, so I can't eat this) The ''-ka'' suffix is used to indicate plurals, or more than one object or subject. It can be used both with a pronoun or with the object/subject in question.<br/>Example: <code>tai<b>ka</b> lageru / tai lageru<b>ka</b></code> (these books) The ''mio-'' prefix is used to denote excess of an object.<br/>Example: <code>tai lageru <b>mio</b>kaanli!</code> (This book is too big!)
