The verb always stays the same and doesn't conjugate and the subject attatches to the end of the verb. The verb doesn't conjugate for tenses either and instead a word follows the verb that designates the tense. Just curious.

So as an example if that was confusing. I'll do it in English to show what I mean but it obviously will look weird. Or actually no I'll just make up some words to show it.

Say you wanted to say "I went to the beach"
Let's say I = Ma, Go=Og, Past tense=Su

You would write, Ogma su to the beach.
So, "You will go to beach" If you = Pa, Future=Lu

Ogpa lu to the beach.

Get the drift of what I'm trying to explain? So does any language have that system. It seems like it would be really simple as each verb is always in it's original form and never conjugates or changes with tense.

Verb before Subject happens but there is no known language that bases its grammar on that pattern. No language is based on one context alone - isolating or agglomerating.

mandarin has some similarity....the verbs never conjugate..they are always the same......
there is really no such thing as 'tense' in mandarin...there are sentence particles that indicate an action has or has not been completed
there are also other simplifications...any statement can be turned into a question by placing "ma" at the end of it (that's not the only way to ask a question but it is often used)....etc,etc,etc.

I cannot immagine a language that would shift that quickly and randomly. At least not any currently spoken modern language.

Maybe Malay. Malay is very simple and easy to learn.
But I'm really not sure. I don't know.
