It has a quite complex nominal and verbal morphology, but it's
much simpler than Latin or Greek. Vaiysi has inherited from
Suimeni, its mother tounge, an ergative / absolutive case
system. This means that the subject of intransitive verbs (verbs
which can take the object) is marked for a case called ergative,
and that the subject of intransitive verbs and the object of
transitive verbs are generally unmarked, in a case called
absolutive.   Vaiysi has four other cases: dative, genitive,
locative and allative.

(Okay.)
Dative is the case of the indirect object (I give you the book) or
of the object in  antipassive constructions, genitive resembles
English 's, locative carries the meaning 'in' or 'on', while
allative 'to' or 'into'.
(Could locative also mean "at"?)
Adjectives are usually declined as nouns, and adverbs are
directly deviced by adjectival stems.
(Do you mean that adjectives take the same endings as their
associated nouns?   I like this;  it's simple.   I assume you've
got adjectival nouns.)
(I'm assuming that you mean that adjectives are derived from
adjectives by omitting the flexional endings.)
Vaiysi verb conjugation is another quiet complex argument.
Verbs distinguish tense, person, number, aspect and voice, and
their conjugation is as difficult as that of French or Italian
verbs, far more difficult than the English one. Vaiysi has five
tenses: present, past, future, anterior and posterior, plus an
imperative mood. A particular construction is that of the verb
'to be', which has become in Vaiysi a suffixed particle
(-yeam...)

(Please explain the anterior and posterior tenses.)

The language is largerly SVO, but the word order is not very
rigid. There are only prepositions, not potpositions; all
prepositions govern the genitive case.

I'm waiting for your reply.

(So far so good.)
