Word order

In, normal indicative constructions, Oirati has a SVO (Subject Verb Object) word order, the same as English. Adjectives and adverbs can come before or after what they describe.
I see it ---> I see it.
I will ride the white horse. ---> I will ride the horse white./ I will ride the white horse.


The passive voice is a much used feature in Oirat and can be used both when there's a subject and when there's no subject.


Roughly equivalent to the active. The object of the sentence is deleted. E.g. "I ride".
