Objects of syntax are phrases and sentences. Syntax of the Circassian language is very original. It has already been partially described in the previous sections about parts of speech, so it will be reviewed here only schematically.

Phrases

The following typical phrases exist in the Circassian language:

I. Phrases of the "noun+noun" type, where the defining noun goes first, and the word it defines goes second:

• мыжъо́ дэпкъ "stone wall",
• гъуч1ы́ чэ́у "iron fence".

II. Phrases of the "ergative noun+possessive noun" type:

• пхъаш1э́м иуа́т "hammer of the carpenter",
• к1элэеджак1о́м икъэлэ́м "pencil of the pupil".

III. Phrases of the "noun+adjective" type, where the defining word goes after the word it defines:

• тхылъ дэ́гъу "good book",
• пшъэшъэ́ дах "beautiful girl".

IV. Phrases of the "noun+numeral" type:

• унэ́ щэк1 "thirty houses" (the Circassian noun is in singular),
• тхылъ шъэны́къу "fifty books".

V. Phrases of the "noun+verb" type, where, as a rule, noun goes first:

• газе́т еджэ́н "to read a newspaper",
• хьалы́гъу щэфы́н "to buy bread" (хьалы́гъу "bread").

VI. Phrases of the "adverb+verb" type:

• мак1э́у гущы1э́н "to speak quietly",
• лъэшэ́у куо́н "to scream loudly",
• л1эбланэ́у зек1о́н "to act bravely".

In phrases of the "noun+noun", "noun+adjective", "noun+numeral" types, concatenation takes place when the second part is a single morpheme of open type:

• чэу́жъ "old fence" (чэу "fence" + жъы "old"),
• соми́тф "five rubles" (сом "ruble" + тфы "five").

Sentences

Order of words in a Circassian sentence is, generally, free, but the situation where verb goes at the end  is the most typical.

• Трактористы́р жьэ́у къэтэджы́гъ "The tractor-driver got up early".

Structure of a full sentence is, usually, defined by its form of verb. In the Circassian language there are the following types of sentences:

I. Nominative sentence, where subject is in the nominative grammatical case, verb is intransitive, and there is no direct object:

• Гъатхэ́р къэсы́гъ, чъыгхэ́р къызэ1уихыхэ́у ригъэжъа́гъ "Spring has come, the trees have started to bloom";

II. Ergative sentence, where subject is in ergative case, direct object is in nominative case, and the verb is transitive:

• Агроно́мым губгъохэ́р къыплъахьыгъэ́х "The agronomist has reviewed the fields";

III. Sentence, where subject is in zero form. In this type of sentences both transitive and intransitive verbs can be used:

• Нанэ́ тхъу къыситы́гъ "Mother gave me some butter";
• К1элэ тэрэ́з ащ фэдэ́у псэурэ́п "A good guy does not behave like that".

This type of Circassian sentences is rarer than the first two. In the Circassian language there are compound sentences that can consist both of  independent parts only, and of the main part in combination with dependent subparts.

Compound sentences with independent parts:

• Нэф къэшъы́гъ, ау ц1ыфхэ́р джыри́ урамхэ́м къатехьагъэхэ́п "The morning has already come, but the people have not appeared on the streets yet";
• Зэк1э́ къалэ́м къик1ыжьыгъэ́х, ау́ ежь Ибрахьимэ́ 1офхэ́р и1э́у къэуцу́гъ "Everybody has returned from the city, but Ibrahim has stayed because of his affairs."

Compound sentences with dependent parts are structurally different. The most typical Circassian compound sentence with a dependent part is the sentence where its dependent part expresses some sort of circumstances explaining the main part:

• Мэзэ́ псау́м ащ 1оф ыш1агъэ́п, сыда п1омэ дэсыгъэпы́шъ ары́ "He has not worked for the whole month, because he has been away".
