The Caseyan grammar is inspired by slavic languages and therefore highly inflecting. In inflecting languages the appearance of a word is changed according to grammatical categories by the means of the addition of affixes or the changing of the word stem. Caseyan only utilizes the former but does this intensively. That is why word endings are usually made up of two or more parts. | The Caseyan grammar is inspired by slavic languages and therefore highly inflecting.

=== | In Caseyan nouns, adflecatives/adjectives and verbs are almost always derived from a part of speech, that is unique to Caseyan: the Inflecative. An Inflecative usually has at least three meanings that can be expressed by inflecting the Inflecative accordingly, i.e. adding the nominal/verbal/adjectival ending to the Inflecative. For example: дōм (house, to live in sth., inhabited) → дōм<font style="color:#00F">эн</font><font style="color:#F00">зy</font> (the house); <font style="color:#777">йа</font> дōм<font style="color:#B0B">ÿт</font><font style="color:#070">но</font> (I live); дōм<font style="color:#0AA">λи</font>/дōм<font style="color:#F00">зă</font> (inhabited). | ||
