===Word order=== | |||
Scots Norse word order is incredibly strict, relying more on particles than word order for changing the sentence type. The typical order is: | |||
#Preverbal particle | |||
#Verb | |||
#Postverbal particle(s) | |||
#Subject | |||
#Preposition(s) (usually) | |||
#Direct object or predicate adjective | |||
#Indirect object | |||
Prepositions are placed largely as in English, but the usage can often differ, eg. "i" ("in") goes before the direct object, but is also used for "under" as in "i miùeghi" ("under construction", literally "in building"). | |||
An example: | |||
{{interlinear|lang=snon|number=(1) | |||
| er Agharsc Vheostnariòzc h'u ghi nAghar. | |||
| be.PRES Scots_Norse West_Norse of the Hebrides | |||
| Scots Norse is a West Nordic language spoken in the Hebrides | |||
