== Pronouns == Pronouns in Orian are inspired by the Japanese language, with the -ka suffix working mostly like the -tachi suffix in the Japanese language (e.g. watashi for 1st person singular and watashi-tachi for 1st person plural). The 3rd person pronouns can be used as both gendered and ungendered depending on the context, e.g. when referring to someone. {| class="wikitable" |+ Orian pronouns |- ! Person !! Singular !! Plural |- | 1st (I/me) || ie || ieka |- | 2nd (you) || via || viaka |- | 3rd (he/she/they) || omi || omika |- | Undefined 3rd (one) || kayomi || kayomika |} There are also undefined pronouns, which can indicate objects: the pronoun '''moi''' being used for "this", and '''moo''' (pronounced ''mo-oh'') used for "that", with their plural forms being '''moika''' and '''mooka'''. Defined pronouns in Orian are ''tai'' (for "this") and ''taa'' (for "that"). The Orian language doesn't use a possessive pronoun per se, instead using the ''-fee'' suffix to indicate possession.<br/>Example: <blockquote>Person 1: <code>iefee lagerumo yire aije?</code> (Where's my book?)<br/> Person 2: <code>moo bokushumo vaa aijego.</code> (That's in the box.)</blockquote>
