Basic Lessons
This section of the tutorial covers all of the basic elements of Primal. You'll learn the alphabet, the grammar and the structure of the language.
The basic lessons are not designed to teach you to speak Primal. These lessons are an introduction and reference guide to the structure of the language.
For those intent on learning Primal, it is recommended that you skim through the Basic Lessons first, with special attention to
Alphabet and Grammar lessons.
Don't try to memorize it all. Take a walk through these lessons and digest what you can. You will return here for reference later.
The following sections, in order, comprise the Basic Lessons:
| Alphabet | how to read, write and pronounce Primal script |
| Grammar | overview of the elements of grammar and sentence structure |
| Nouns | noun prefixes, noun suffixes and proper nouns |
| Pronouns | overview of all pronouns: personal, syntactic and user-defined |
| Unary Suffixes | list and description of the unary suffixes, and how to use them |
| Verbs | verbs, and verb tense and mood (verb prefixes and suffixes) |
| Prepositions | list and description of simple prepositions |
| Noun Phrases | modifying subjects and objects, preposition prefixes |
| Verb Phrases | the direct object, object of the verb, conjunctions, modifying verbs |
| Numbers | using numbers to quantify nouns, verbs, and prepositions |
| Basic Dictionary | list of all words other than nouns and verbs, plus pronouns |
Some of the Basic Lessons assume that a reader will have familiarity with previous lessons in the list, so the order is important. Once you have completed a short read of the Basic Lessons, you may want to continue with the Survival Lessons, which will teach you how to say common things in Primal.
