==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. | |||
}} | |||
