Its easy... no tenses, no plurals, no genders, and its phonetic!
Adjectives and adverbs come after the nouns and verbs,
’c’ is always pronounced ’ch’, ’ng’ is soft as in song, ’ngg’ is hard as in finger, ’a’ as in bar or as in ’shut’, ’e’ is usually short as in ’open’ ’i’ as in feet, ’o’ as in ’long’, and ’u’ as in ’fool’.
Slight stress is placed on second last syllable!
