Grammar

word order

THE DUTCHESTish word order is underlyinigly OSV (object-subject-verb). There are a few additional rules called V2, V3, V4 and V5 in mainclauses, which moves the finite (inflected or subject) verb placed at the left side of the arrow of time when preforming the act of pronouncing the second position of the sentence. Because of this, sentences with only one verb appear in SOV (subject-object-verb), with two verbs in OVS (object-verb-subject), with three verbs in VOS (verb-object-subject), and with four verbs in AdjOSVA (adjective-object-subject-verb-article) [<‍-- no further context wll be provided]. Adpositional phrases come in PTM (place-time-matter).
