Complex Sentences

A complex sentence is composed of two phrases, the dependent and the independent. In Balkeon the conjunction Kua is commonly used and there are more alternatives.

I can consider that you have done nothing, from what you have told me

This sentence should always be divided into three parts 1 [I can consider]2 [that you have done nothing] 3 [from what you have told me]

Kua

Form 1: Kadir inmabian, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan, kua yu agdiro nemeon

Form 2: Inmabir, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan, kad, kua yu agdiro nemeon

• The simplest, the third part is a direct object of the first part so it should be placed like this [1, 3, 2], always separating each part with a comma.

• In Form 2 the modal verb is moved to the end, becoming kad. Since Part 3 is a component directly related to Part 1, this modal verb is moved after Part 3.

Without Kua Conjunction

Form 1: Kadir inmabian, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan, yu agdiro nemeon

Form 2: Inmabir, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan, kad, yu agdiro nemeon

• This case is similar to the previous one, except that in Balkeon the conjunction kua is omittable.

Substantivation of the second sentence

Form 1: Kadir inmabian yuos nemagdiroyeon, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan

Form 2: Kadir inmabian yuos nemagdiroreon, pofrok emseon yu seyip ayestan

• Taking into account the great possibilities that Balkeon offers to compose words from others, we take the second part of the sentence and turn it into a Noun, here more information.

Past Infinitive of the Second Sentence

Form 1: Kadir inmabian yu nemagdipian, pofrok emseon (kua) yu seyip ayestan Form 2: Pofrok emseon (kua) yu seyip ayestan, inmabir yu nemagdipian kad

• In this case, we do the same, but we keep a second fused sentence without genitive, leaving a Past Infinitive yu nemagdipian in its place

• The choice is yours to put together this sentence in the style you prefer.

Sentence Fusion

In Balkeon it is known that any word can be mixed with any word, Sentences are not the exception, specific rules have been prepared to achieve this:

• In order to make a Sentence Noun pair, the subject of the sentence is changed to genitive, we will use the Example above.

• You haven't done anything has the pronoun You, which is Yu in Balkeon (check this. This means that its genitive is Yuos (You)
• You have done becomes a Preterite, agdiroreon.

• Nothing is translated as Nemeon.

• The outcome is as follows: Yuos nemagdiroreon. Nemeon and agdiroreon merge to create a meaningful, though not very translatable, word.
