Preface

The Pražickoy Language is going to be a complex and perhaps uninteresting mess of grammar, syntax, and even non-sense perhaps. However, it represents a great deal of time of work that I've put into the study of languages that hopefully combines the best aspects of multiple languages and combines them into one form - for this reason, it will be complicated yet hopefully simple. My objective is to create a language whose syntax is simple and distinction is precise; in the process, I will have likely created odd structures that only people who care to learn the language will ever truly master. That said, I am welcome sound advice that enhances the simplicity and precision of the language to be employed by any person, and whereas the rules of grammar for Pražickoy will not get you that perfect "A" on any of your language tests, I do hope that it enhances your appreciation for those languages you do study.

Nouns

Nouns are surprisingly simple. A noun is basically any word that is able to be objectified- that is, it can be made the object of an action:

I moved the table.
Table is a noun because it is the object of the action "move".
Also,
The bird sung a beautiful song for me.
Both song and "me" are nouns, because song is the object of the action "sing"; me is the object to which the action of "sing" is given, although in conventional terms, "me" is only a pronoun.
