an attributive and predicative form of adjectives in the singular. This is not found in some of the other dialects however: Attributive: in bien carstgaun 'a good human (person)' Predicative : il carstgaun ei buns 'the human (person) is good' There are three singular and three plural pronouns in Romansh (Sursilvan forms shown below): There is a T–V distinction between familiar ti and polite vus. Putèr and Vallader distinguish between familiar tü and vus and polite El/Ella and Els/Ellas. Pronouns for the polite forms in Putèr and Vallader are always capitalized to distinguish them from third person pronouns: Eau cugnuosch a Sia sour "I know your sister" and Eau cugnuosch a sia sour "I know his/her sister". The 1st and 2nd person pronouns for a direct object have two distinct forms, with one occurring following the preposition a: dai a mi tiu codisch 'give me your book'. A particularity of Sursilvan is that reflexive verbs are all formed with the reflexive pronoun se-, which was originally only the third person pronoun: jeu selavel 'I am washing myself'. ti selaves 'you are washing yourself'. el/ella selava 'he/she is washing her/himself'. nus selavein 'we are washing ourselves'. els/ellas selavan 'they are washing themselves'. The other Romansh dialects distinguish different reflexive pronouns however. Possessive pronouns occur in a pronominal and a predicative form that differ only in the masculine form, however: miu tgaun 'my dog' – il tgaun ei mes 'the dog is mine'. vies problem 'your problem' – quei problem ei vos 'that problem is yours'. The feminine remains the same: sia casa 'her/his house' – quella casa ei sia 'this house is hers/his' Three different demonstrative pronouns quel, tschel, and lez are distinguished: A quel fidel jeu, a tschel buc 'I trust that one, but not that other one' or Ed il bab, tgei vegn lez a dir? 'and the father, what is he going to say?'. Verb tenses are divided into synthetic forms (present, imperfect) and analytic forms (perfect, pluperfect, future, passive) distinguished by the grammatical moods indicative, subjunctive, conditional, and imperative. These are most common forms in Sursilvan: Syntax The syntax of Romansh has not been thoroughly investigated so far. Regular word order is subject–verb–object, but subject-auxiliary inversion occurs in several cases, placing the verb at the beginning of a sentence: To form a question: Eis el aunc cheu? – "Is he still there?". In declarative sentences: Damaun mein
