English needs a subject and a predicate in a sentence; and in a declarative sentence, the subject (S) is usually first. If the verb (V) has an object (O), the order is normally SVO; and an inverted order shows other kinds of sentences, as interrogative, imperative or exclamatory.
But EL has a different system for simplicity and free word order among global cultures. In EL, usually the predicate is the main part of a sentence; and when needed to tell what becomes the predicate-verb situation, it is shown as the subject. Also when the verb has an object or two types of objects, a proper indicator shows which is each object; whatever the word order is, as SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OSV or OVS. When understandable without showing S and O, they can be omitted from a sentence.
When the subject is on the top of a sentence or the right next of a head to show interrogative, imperative or exclamatory kind of sentence, this indication is not necessary, regarding the top word as the subject.
When the predicate, object or some modification comes first,is put before the subject of the sentence. This basis has the image of something 'important' or 'main' in a compounded character. But wherever you see this single basis, it is the subject indicator.
For a question about the subject of the interrogative sentence, you can answer, using only this indicator and the noun of the answer.E.g.
Question: “Who did this?” Answer:(I did)
((I) corresponds to who is clear according to
.)
These two bases indicate different types of object in a sentence,
unrelated to each original image, only when it’s single form.
The EL verb system is unique and different from English or other languages;
and the object-indicators also follow the verb system, classifying into two kinds,
but the ways are not as English direct and indirect objects.
The examples of EL sentences with these indicators are in the verb section below.
shows that the following character(s) is the object of a verb, as “him” in “I see him.”
English usually doesn’t need preposition to show an object, but EL needs the mark,
in front of this kind of object, instead of free order of parts of a sentence.
A-attached object has a chance to be influenced by the verb, but it is the subject,
which/who actually becomes the situation of the verb in a sentence; not this kind of object.
is used with another type of verb in EL. A
–attached object is the kind,
which/who actually becomes the situation of the verb of the sentence by the subject.
You'll see more about it in the verb section.
An EL verb/predicate always includes one of these verb symbols; so wherever you see them in, the group of ideographs is a verb/predicate of a sentence.
An EL ideogram shows a noun or some kind of situation. Attaching a verb symbol in front of it, the ideogram changes into a verb in a particular way through its original meaning. EL classifies the verb symbols into two types; for the following reasons:1) To reduce the amount of necessary ideograms;
making it possible to express in many ways with simple characters.
2) To make the context clear:
about who actually becomes the situation that the verb shows.
3) To make it easy to think putting nature/things as a subject of a sentence:
so people can discuss through the side of nature/things beyond their culture differences.The two bases:
: The shape reminds some energy to stand up on its own.
-attached verb (Let me call d-verb, using the symbol number name “gd”):
To form a verb meaning that the subject becomes the situation shown by the following ideogram(s) or acts like that.
: The shape reminds some pressure from above.
-attached verb (Let me call e-verb, using the symbol number name ”ge”):
To form a verb meaning that the object shown byactually becomes the verb condition or acts that, influenced by the subject of the sentence. You might imagine a causative verb through this explanation, but this way works more widely.
AlsoE.g.:
I see it, I show it to you, it looks strong, among these sentences, the verbs see, show and look, all are related to the eye-function, but English distinguishes the usages by completely different words. In EL, you only memorize an ideogram eye::, and then use it to form verbs, meaning the eyes work, distinguishing whose eyes work by verb symbols.
can express all see, show and look with different verb symbols:
: I see it. (The eyes belong to the subject
“I”)
: I show it to you. (The eyes are belong to
“you”)
: It looks strong. (This verb symbol is passive, with
: received; and this sentence does not mention about whose eyes, so we feel this as a general view.)
(: I,
: it/that,
: you,
: preposition, the following ideogram(s) modifies the verb,
: large power/strong)
can be used for more distinguished meanings, adding another ideogram or compounding with another basis:
Like above, EL distinguishes many concepts through combinations of simple ideograms and grammatical symbols; and you think and use EL, with only easy memorization.or
: stare (the subject’s eyes work facing to a target)
or
: search (the subject’s eyes seek)
; or
: read (the subject’s eyes recognize)
: contact with eyes (the subject’s eyes contact …)
: become strong (vi.)
: strengthen (vt. make something strong)
: I work. (The subject or become “working situation”)
: You use me. (The subject
let the object(
: after
) work)
These are diagrams about the relations between a verb and who actually move/act, using the shapes,
,
of the subject and objects indicators, and
(it/that), from the left:
The subject(itself) move/work.
The subjectmake the object
move/work.
![]()
The subject‘s eyes work for the direct object,
: see it.
The subjectmake
‘s eyes work (see)
: show it.
This forms a verb, meaning that the subject becomes the situation shown by the ideogram(s).E.g.
: become equal/even
: move as an intransitive verb (vi)
(: equality
: a move)
: dance (vi ) (
{
move,
energy-opened,
action}: a dance/dances)
: flow (vi.) (
{
waves, heading}: a flow/flows)
![]()
: This wine is made taking for three years.
(: this (pointing at a close thing),
{
beverage,
energy-opened}: wine/alcoholic drink,
: made (this ideogram means “made-situation”, so
means is made without taking the passive voice like English.
: with/joining,
: year as a period.)
English usually expresses things as human-centered thoughts.
But wines and things can’t be produced without many other elements of nature.
To feel the nature blessing to us in our daily lives,
and to widen our images of creations/productions in that way,
this grammar wants to work.
This way, nature and things can be talked about easily
as the subject of a sentence among global people.Comparison:
![]()
: I make these fruits into wine taking for three years.
(: “the condition to be wine” in this case.
: these (plural of
),
: fruit(s),
There is an empty space betweenand
.
If not, the modification goes to, not for the processing to make wine.)
Usually a living organ has one or more particular function(s), as eyes for seeing, ears for hearing. Hands and feet do many things. In EL, a character to show a fundamental organ is used to form a verb meaning that the organ works as its main function. Sometimes an ideogram of an organ of other animals or plants is also used, symbolizing the human matter related to its function.
: I stand.
: you step.
(: I,
: you,
: leg(s) (by the total shape); the main function is to stand supporting the body (as d-verb)
: foot/feet (by the total shape); the main function is to step (as d-verb)
These legs and feet belong to each subject.
English classifies “stand” as an intransitive verb, and “support” as a transitive verb.
EL distinguishes them by whose organ works in the sentence
by the verb symbol and other indicators.
: I stand.
: I support you. (I work as legs for you),
: I make you stand (by your legs;
in this case the leg belong to you; and you can know that because of e-verb with)
: horn (by the total shape); the symbolic function is “threat”
: threaten (human doesn't have horns,
but this ideogram symbolizes in this way as a verb)
When a subject uses mainly or symbolically its organ or tool in the verb of the sentence,
but the situation/action is more specific than the fundamental setting,
the characters of the organ/tool and its situation/action are joined
or compounded next toto form the verb.
Whenand plural ideograms form a verb,
always the situation character (the key meaning of the verb) locates at the end,
as long as the phrase does not include a preposition.
or
{
feet
go}: walk (as the fundamental setting)
or
{feet go
slow}: walk slowly, stroll
or
{
legs go}: run (as the fundamental setting)
or
{leg go
fast}: run at full speed, dash
* Both feet and legs are actually needed to walk and to run.
But the EL foot-ideogram is set for “walk,” and leg-ideogram is set for “run,” when working as verbs.
So in these kinds of ways, you save much energy for memorization to express complicated meanings.
or
: analyze with computer
({
artificial(38),
brain}: computer,
{
separation,
recognition}: analysis
The computer belongs to the subject of this predicate and work by the subject)
: play music with strings
(The player is the subject of this predicate, and the tool:
strings works as an extension part (tool) of the subject.
{

: slowly,

-verb with
-object
The-object can be influenced by the function of an subject's organ
or the action of the d-verb, but the action or situation does not belong to the object.
It belongs to the subject of the sentence when the verb has.
: I read it. (The subject ‘s eyes work to read it)
If this sentence is the answer of the question: “What do you do,”
the questioner already knows who must be the subject. So(I) can be omitted from the answer.
-verb with
-object
: I let him run.
The(legs) in the character of
(run) is
(his, since
is attached), but not
(mine: the subject’s)
{
pronoun,
out/male}: he/his/him (depending on its location/relation to others)
When e-verb predicate hastoo, the
-object is directly influenced
by the-object's action/condition.
: I analyze this with his computer.
(I make
his
computer
analyze
this:
if you get the meaning directly, the English sounds strange like this; please think with images.)
: I show (let other eyes work) this to him.
(The eyes to seethis are
his (the object of the e-verb); not
mine (the subject))
Alsocan be directly built in the verb as the meaning of
“to make his eyes work” (“to show him” as a phrase).
Emphasizingthis (the object), bringing it in front,
the following expression is available, too:
: This, I show him.
:
He
supports
our
event.
( {I,
plural}: we, our, us (depending on the location/relation to others)
{
act/doing,
thing}: event
The direct meaning is "He made our event stand."
This symbolical legs belong to "our event":-headed object )
Verb symbols can be compounded with another basis to change some detail of the verb,
as a tense such as future, past, progressive form, continuation, experienced etc.,
or a nature such as negative, prohibition, passive, causative, possibility, wish, want, etc.
A multi-element compounded verb symbol is also available.
The gd and ge page in the EL Dictionary shows
many examples of compounded verb symbols.
If needed, more can be considered.
For changing a verb into a noun,
compound(an affair, intangible matter) on top of the verb symbol.
Verbs of past, future or other occasion can be changed into a noun
by just compoundingon top of the kind of verb symbol.
![]()
: What he’s wishing for a long time will come true.
({
,
verb,
long-continuation }: continuously doing thing,
{ a heart, jwant}: wish,
{
verb,
future when compounded with verb}: will be/do,
(true): will come true
More examples are in the Dictionary site.
To modify another character/phrase by a verb phrase:
Put the preposition(gc) on the head of the verb phrase,
or compound it directly on top of a verb symbol together.
: the people running at that place.
({
person,
plural}: people,
: running (as modification for the front ideogram/phrase),
preposition
{
that (pointing a far place),
place}: at that plate/there
: the people, who have been continuously running for a long time
({

For a question about the verb part of an sentence, wondering if it's right or not,to the next .To the top
EL simply answers using only the same verb basis,or
in the inquiry sentence for “yes,”
andor
for “no”, denying the verb symbol.
Q:
: Are you going to run?
A:: Yes, I am. , or
: No, I’m not.
(: the head to show it’s an inquiry,
: you (the subject in this sentence),
{
question,
heading,
verb symbol}: the verb
(be going to) is a question.
In English, you usually answer with a subject and an auxiliary verb
matching to the inquiry sentence, but EL simplifies the answer,
as the verb basis in the inquiry or denied the basis, even if the verb symbol is multi-compounded.Q:
![]()
: Did you make her laugh again?
({e-verb symbol,
past tense,
plural times}: did something repeatedly
The inquiry head andshow the questioner is wondering if the predicate is true or not.
{
face as the fundamental ideogram,
energy-open}: laugh )
A:: Yes I did
: No I didn’t, and he did.
The answers can omit even the tense like these examples.
The inquiry sentence is an affirmative or a negative,
if the answer is affirmative, useor
,
and if it’s negative, the answer isor
, depending on the inquiry verb.
Q:![]()
. : Isn't that real?
A:: Yes, it is.
: No, it’s not. It's a fiction.
(: it/that in a topic,
{
matter,
truth}: real
{
{
existence,
verb}: be,
denied}: be not
{
matter,
created,
truth}: fiction,
The subject of last additional sentence is omitted, since the questioner knows it.)This simple answering system is planed for easy hand signing and clarity between cultures.
(Sometimes yes and no answers create a trouble between traditional languages.
E.g.: the answer “Yes” for “Don't you know this?” means “I don't know” in Japanese.)
