==Complex sentences==
==Complex sentences==
Complex sentences are formed by means of various subordinating and coordinating particles.
===''Ed''===
The particle ''ed'' generally indicates that a subordinate clause follows the main clause.
{{Gloss
| phrase = No te <font color="green">ed</font> nerep ku, ku ama naira.
| IPA = /nʌ́ t͡ɕé è ɲǽɾep kɯ́, kɯ́ ámɐ náɨ̯ɾɐ/
| gloss = 1SG.SUBJ 3SG.OBJ SUB say PST, NEG that know
| translation = I've told him <font color="green">that</font> I don't know that.
}}
It can also be followed by a noun phrase rather than an entire sentence.
{{Gloss
| phrase = Nanak hêkai ama <font color="green">ed</font> setai, nezu nitote ad.
| IPA = /nánɐk jèkəɨ̯ ámɐ è ɕéθɨ, ɲǿd͡zʊ ɲýt͡ɕe à/
| gloss = snow CL(nature) that SUB be, cold rain CL(similar)
| translation = Snow is a kind of cold rain.
}}
