Abstract

The Mongondow language is categorized as an agglutinative language, which is a language with an affix system for vocabulary that expresses tenses, aspects, and modes (capitals), as well as for nominalization or verbalization and determines the grammatical function of nominals that are marked as absolutive. How the Mongondow language in the classroom becomes interesting to study, this study aims to describe how the structure of the Mongondow language is used as teaching material in schools. This research is a qualitative descriptive type with the object of analyzing the structure of the Mongondow language. Typical Mongondow syllables consist of a consonant + a vowel (KV) or just a vowel without a prefix (V). produces a /ti/ sound (eg:t + <in>) is switched to produce a /si/ sound. Exocentric phrases, or those whose constituent parts cannot fully capture the phraseological unit, exist in Mongondow. Additionally, it can be claimed that the combined parts are different from their immediate subordinate elements in terms of both class and form (these two phrases complement one another in distribution to the center), and in Mongondow language which contains certain sounds or clusters of sounds can be pronounced in two or more ways.
