Like other Uralic languages, Ingrian is a highly [[agglutinative language]]. Ingrian inflection is exclusively performed using inflectional [[suffix]]es, with [[prefix]]es being only used in derivation.

Ingrian nouns and adjectives are inflected for [[grammatical number|number]] (singular and plural) and [[grammatical case|case]]. Ingrian nominals distinguish between twelve cases, with a thirteenth (the [[comitative case|comitative]]) only being present in nouns. Like Finnish, Ingrian has two cases used for the [[direct object]]: the [[accusative case|nominative-genitive]] (used in [[Telicity|telic]] constructions) and the [[partitive case|partitive]] (used in atelic constructions). Ingrian adjectives often have a separate [[comparative adjective|comparative]] form, but lack a morphologically distinct [[superlative]].

Ingrian distinguishes between three [[grammatical person|persons]]. There is no distinction in [[grammatical gender|gender]], but there is an [[animacy (linguistics)|animacy]] distinction in interrogative pronouns.

Ingrian verbs feature four [[grammatical mood|moods]]: [[indicative]], [[conditional mood|conditional]], [[imperative mood|imperative]] and the now rare [[potential mood|potential]]. Verbs are inflected for three [[grammatical person|person]]s, two [[number]]s and a special [[impersonal verb|impersonal]] form for each of the moods, although the imperative lacks a first person form. The indicative has both [[present tense|present]] and [[past tense|past]] forms. [[Polarity (linguistics)|Negation]] in Ingrian is expressed by means of a negative verb that inflects by person and has separate imperative forms.
