==Background==
'''Socovíc''' (Socovíc: ''socovíc'' /ˈsotsoviːts/ or ''socovija lesán'' /ˈsotsovija ˈlesaːn/), sometimes called '''Sotsovian''' in English, is a Semitic language spoken in the Turkey and Bosphorus area. A North Semitic language, it shares many features with Central Semitic tongues such as Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew; however, it preserves archaic features that have not survived in Central Semitic languages, as well as some innovations in its grammar. The name of the language, ''socovíc'', seems to have originated from {{recon|√s-t-w}}, a root meaning 'north' in Socovíc (cf. Hebrew {{heb|סְתָו}} ''săṯâw'' 'winter').

==Nouns==
{{PAGENAME}} nouns inflect for 4 cases:
* nominative
* genitive-accusative
* dative
* instrumental-locative
{{PAGENAME}} nouns are notable for inheriting the oldest version of the Proto-Semitic case system, the diptotic (two-case) system, with nominative singular ''-''Ø < {{recon|''-ъ''}} < PSem {{recon|''-u''}} and genitive/accusative singular ''-o'' < PSem {{recon|''-a''}}. Feminine singular nominative {{recon|''-atu''}} was changed to {{recon|''-ā''}} > ''-a'' under Indo-European influence. The dative and instrumental/locative were formed by suffixing inflected forms of the prepositions *la 'to' and *bi 'with/by, in'.

==Adjectives==
Adjectives tend to precede nouns: ''rób běc'' 'big house', ''taba spara'' 'good story'.
Adverbs are formed by adding the suffix ''-ǫ'': ''tab'' 'good' > ''tabǫ'' 'well', ''hočam'' 'wise' > ''hočamǫ'' 'wisely'.

==Numerals==
===Cardinal numerals===
Different cardinal numerals are declined differently, and have various effects on the modified noun depending on the final digits of the numeral:
*Cardinal numerals one and two, and those ending in "1" or "2", are declined as adjectives. The modified noun is singular (and agrees in case) for numbers ending in ''ahod'', and the noun is dual for numbers ending in ''fla''.
*All other numerals are declined as nouns and require the noun they modify to be in the genitive plural.
**Words ''šolaf'' (3) through ''cés'' (9) or in ''qošor'' (10-19) are declined like feminine singular nouns in adnominal position (''Jef šolafa ęsáje'' 'There are three people') and like masculine singular nouns in nominal position (''Jef šolaf'' 'There are three').
**Words ''qošory'' (20), ''šolafy'' (30), ..., ''césy'' (90) are declined as masculine plural nouns.
**Units such as ''sefor'' (0), ''meja'' (100), ''olop'' (1000), ''miljón'', ''miljard'', etc. are declined as ordinary nouns, taking dual and plural as necessary.
Examples:
*''qošory júmi'' '20 days', ''qošory sonáci'' '20 years'
*''qošory ahod júm'' '21 days', ''qošory ahda sona'' '21 years'
*''qošory fla júma'' '22 days', ''qošory flota sonota'' '22 years'
*''qošory šolafa júmi'' '23 days', ''qošory šolafa sonáci'' '23 years'
One may also encounter calques from Arabic:
*''Olop lěláci v lěl'' 'One thousand and one nights' (Arabic ''ˀalf<sup>u</sup> layla<sup>tin</sup> wa-layla<sup>tun</sup>'').
Since {{PAGENAME}} has singular and dual forms, modifying numerals one and two are not needed; thus ''Nǫšú voldě v bęto'' 'I have two sons and a daughter' is just as correct as ''Nǫšú flě voldě v ahdoto bęto''.
The ordinal numerals ''okdom'' 'first' and ''okrob'' 'second' are suppletive; ''okdom'' is the elative of the root ''k-d-m'' (''kodam'') 'front, before', (cf. the etymology of ''first''), and ''okrob'' is the elative of ''k-r-b'' (''koryb'') 'near' (cf. ''next'').

==Usage==
===Imperative===
The second person imperatives use the imperative forms.
The non-2nd person imperatives are formed with the hortative particle ''c'' (< ''ce'' 'come') plus the present tense.
:'''''{{blue|C}} jóci memloč męk.'''''
:''Let Thy kingdom come.''
The imperative is negated with the negative particle ''la'', instead of ''bol''.
:'''''La šní li!'''''
:''Don't be mad at me!''
==Derivational morphology==
*''i-'' 'un-', 'non-' (negative prefix for nouns and adjectives)
==Expressions==
*''Solám!'' 'Hello!'
*''Tab júm!'' 'Good day!'
*''Taba lěl!'' 'Good night!'
