Køpsa is an isolating and sometimes agglugnating language. And verb
tense is explained using words. Tense is also explained with words by
using past, future, and present words as modifiers. 
 
Going into the word order: Verb-modifiers to verb-Subject-modifiers to
subject-pronouns-Object-modifiers to object-pronouns.
 
Questions: Yes or no:
 
            If the answer to a question is expected to be Yes, then end
the sentence with “pokøpa.” If no, then end with “søspø.” 
 
General Questions:
 
            To signal asking a question, end sentence with “supø.” To
signal your answer, add “supacø”
 
Some sample vocab and some taglines:
 
“Sypu supco cycu supøcas’ø.”
     “Someday whales will sing to dolphins”
 
Sypu [s why - puh you]  (V) – Sing
supcø [s you – puh c aw] (N) – future
