====Preverbal particles==== | |||
Like Standard Somali, Af Mexee does not have true adpositions. Instead, it uses preverbal particles that always appear before the verb. They all have a high tone; when they come in sequence, the tone is carried by the final one. | |||
*''ú'' | |||
*''lá'' | |||
*''ká'' | |||
*''kú'' | |||
*''sóo'' | |||
*''síi'' | |||

Adjectives in Af Mexee are technically verbs. Unlike other verbs, they do not vary according to gender. However, they are conjugated for time and person (following the adjectival conjugation). When used with a noun, they always have a final high tone due to being in the subjunctive (see [[#Dependent clauses|Dependent clauses]] for more information). | Adjectives in Af Mexee are technically verbs.
