You can use the present indicative for the imperative. Also, when addressing to someone in second person, you will need to use the verb's third person singular (or plural).

Syntax

A simple sentence can consists just of a nominative subject and a verb (Example: "adrakor kadoksori" "the dragon flies"). Any addittional noun or adverb/adjectives usually comes after the verbs (example: ""adrakor kadoksori zaridor" "the dragon flies fast"). There are exceptions such as genitive nouns or adjectives in relation of the first subject (Example: "frakor fafrador adrakos fafraksoriks" "the dragon's red fire burns"). Due to the declensions, there's no need for articles. Something can instead be outlined by the use of rokai ("this, that") and rokui ("these, those"), but it's very situational and definitely not necessary.

Numbers:

all numbers past 10 are a combination of two or more. The last number goes first, and it's added to the first one. For example, twelve is a combination of 10 and 2, so 2 goes first "ko", and 10 goes after "gak", making "kogak".
