[edit]Nouns
[edit]Manchu does not generally distinguish singular and plural, so most nouns (including proper nouns) have a single form with no grammatical features.
A small number of nouns, typically referring to people, have a plural form created using a suffix. In these cases, singular (Q110786) and plural (Q146786) are used as grammatical features.
Cases are formed using case suffixes. These are not currently entered as forms since it's unclear whether they should be treated as declensions or postpositions.
Pronouns
[edit]Personal pronouns have five forms, using nominative case (Q131105), genitive case (Q146233), dative case (Q145599), accusative case (Q146078) and ablative case (Q156986) respectively as the grammatical features.
They also have the following statements:
- grammatical person (P11053) with one of first person (Q21714344), second person (Q51929049) or third person (Q51929074) as the value
- grammatical number (P11054) with one of singular (Q110786) or plural (Q146786) as the value
Other types of pronouns are not yet consistently modelled.
Verbs
[edit]The modelling of verbs is very incomplete.
Current status: Most verbs only have a single form with the -mbi form of the verb and no grammatical features. A few verbs have forms using imperative (Q22716), preterite (Q442485) or future tense (Q501405) as grammatical features.
Adjectives
[edit]Adjectives have a single form with no grammatical features.
Adverbs
[edit]Adverbs have a single form with no grammatical features.
Numerals
[edit]numeral (Q63116) is currently used for cardinal numbers. They have a single form with no grammatical features.
Other types of numbers are not yet modelled.
