Sentences The structure of sentences in Mudbura language doesn’t follow specific rules, the subject can go in any order throughout a sentence and noun phrases may come apart if needed under the condition that all words of the phrase follow the same grammatical case. Sentences can be intransitive meaning they don’t include an object, transitive in which they include an object and a subject, semi-transitive in which they include a subject and an indirect object, and ditransitive in which they include a subject, an object and an indirect object. Showing possession in a sentence can be expressed with bound or free pronouns in the case the speaker is referring to a part of their body, or with possessive pronouns in the case the speaker is referring to something they own. Negative sentences are formed with the word “kula” combined with the verb in the associated tense. This indicates that something is not, was not or will not and in terms of structure “kula” is found at the beginning of the sentence or right after the first word. Other words and endings such as “-mulu” (don’t), “wakurni” (no or nothing) and “-wangka” (without) can be used to express negativity. Linking words or additional endings may be used in more complex sentences when these include more than 1 clause. Examples are: “-baa” and “-maa” that mean when, if, which, who, “abala” that means when, that, while, which, then and “amba” that means so that, that, which, while. The word and does not exist in the Mudbura language as words are either expressed consecutively without any linking words or some of the linking words stated above may be used.
