Grammar:

1) Describing a Noun - [Adjective + "Small Adjective" + Other Adjectives and their small adjectives (Optional)] + [Noun + Article]

Example: Inya'osii ka'rta'tua

Meaning: Our one Fiery Heart

Structure: Inya corresponds to the adjective "fiery" thats describing the heart (ka'rta). Since theres one heart, osii is added onto the first adjective. If there were other adjectives they would be added on after that. Small adjectives consist primarily of quantity or color. Since the sentence speaks of "our heart", the article is tacked onto "ka'rta" as it comes BEFORE the noun in syntax. If it became AFTER, then it would be added on before the word "ka". Hence "Heart of our" would be rta’ka. Articles are always seperated by an apostrophe, and remember to take it literally in translation (Our Heart opposed to Heart of Our)

2) Direct Objects/Indirect Objects - [D.O.] + [Adjective + "Small Adjective"] + [Article + Noun] + [Subject + Verb] + [Indirect Object]

This is the basic of a complete sentence involving Direct and Indirect objects aside from other nouns or the subject and verb usage. Correct article usage and verb conjugation applies here. If for example your D.O. is Coruscant in the sentence "We, the wrath of Coruscant" in Mandalorian that would be "Coruscanta a’den mhi (katr’an)". The Direct object is always placed first to show emphasis. The indirect object is always placed last. An article -only ever- comes after a noun, if and only if its a simple sentence or phrase. If it doesn't have a verb, (hence its a phrase), an article can come after the noun. If it doesn't have either a direct or indirect, or both objects then it comes after the noune. But if its a complete sentence, it comes before the noun.

3) Articles and Verbs - Articles do NOT get attached to verbs, only to nouns and the subject (if applicable)
