Lesson 6 - Prepositions
Prepositions are words that introduce a phrase that gives more
information to a sentence.
| i
bos
|
in
the box |
| uover
borda |
under
the table |
| til
hus |
to
the house |
| fe
:sara |
for
Sara |
| vi
gastahus |
at
the hotel |
| na
tim tie |
at
ten o'clock |
vi
is useful when referring to a location. It gives no specific
information like in,
on,
or next to,
but it can be used for any of these. Often translated as at,
just think of it as relating to the location specified, but
in no specific way.
du
kan kepa da vi kepahus.
You
can buy that at the store.
Even more general is na
which can essentially take the place of any preposition.
It's meaning relies completely on context. It is especially
useful for phrases that are abstract, and would not logically
dictate a specific meaningful preposition.
ka
du tru na gude?
Do
you believe in a god?
je
juste te tenka na du.
I
was just thinking of you.
jen
ska go til dasta na nes daga.
We'll
go there tomorrow.
