Objects
Now we'll introduce objects to our sentence. The sentence pattern is [(Aux) Verb (Neg) CP-S CP-O], where CP-O is the Case-Phrase-Object. Now we can see that the sentence structure in Láadan is VSO (verb-subject-object) order.

Objects in Láadan are also marked with the Object Marker, the suffix -th or -eth (depending on whether the last letter of the object is a vowel or consonant).

Multiple verbs
Sometimes you will want to combine verbs like "to want", "to need", "to must" with another verb - "I want to run", "I need to wait", "I must work". In Láadan, this forms a Verb Complex. The two verbs go together, with the auxiliary going before both, and the negative going afterward, if present. Nothing can go between the two verbs. Both must be marked plural if the subject is plural. 

To try to [VERB]
The prefix "du-" means "to try".
