	Sinatolean, as well as Sinatolean languages as a whole, are very agglutinative, so many words can be derived from combining words. For example, take ''angaka'' "shrine, temple". It is a combination of the verb ''anga'' "to pray" and the suffix/word ''(-)ka'', "location, locative marker". Thus, ''angaka'' means "praying place". Words ending in ''-ka'' usually denote a place: e.g. ''didika'', ''lit.'' "sand-place"; "beach". Other words that end in ''-ka'' include ''sineka'', "country", ''sinekuka'', "republic" and ''intaka'', "public housing complex".
