Cenlatorre is a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) language, though other noun phrases tend to go before the verb. Verbs are in the third person singular by default. Cases are used, but prepositions are used also. Relative clauses always go before the nouns they modify. Adjectives often go before the nouns they modify as well, though they can also be used postnominally with a special marker.Much like the controversial rule about split infinitives in English, Cenlatorre has a rule that definite articles are not to be separated from their adjectives. Thus, unlike English, all adjectives go -before- the definite article. Like English, prepositions also go before the definite article. -th is the plural marker for nouns -m for verbs, adjectives, and le.
The passive is marked with -ratte. The causative is marked with -vatte, but intransitive verbs can be made causative by making them transitive. The dative or instrumental is used to mark what is being caused to do something, with a sense of coercion being implied by the use of the instrumental.
