Alo ma amis!

The noun markers in LFN are...

la
un
esta
acel
cada
no
de
-s (plural)
-r (infinitives)
-ia (abstract nouns/adjectives)
capitalization (for names)

When a verb or adjective is used as a noun, it has a noun marker.
Verbs used as adjectives require -nte or -da; therefore, the first word
that follows a marked noun and is not an adjective is the verb!
Nouns or adjectives used as verbs require -a or -i.
Quality adjectives follow the noun (except for bon and mal);  all others
precede.

But don't assume that people will need to memorize these rules for
pijin!  First, they are the standard rules for most European languages.
Second, the meanings of words actually drive the grammar.  I tried very
hard to make it a semantically-driven language, where the meaning
determines the grammar structure, rather than the other way around.
This is in fact how pidgins and creoles, as well as languages like
Indonesian, work!

Ma esperas plu bon a cada un!
