Dama Diwan: Difference between revisions

Although now there is no more the facility to use both prepositions and postpositions, still a prepositional syntax can be imitated with the help of the indeclinable preposition IN: the most normal way is to say, e.g. SURA SURA TARO IN RABO KUTA or SURA SURA TARO RABAN KUTA =the monkey is up the tree, but we can also say the same as SURA SURA TARO KUTA IN RABO. So, Dama acquired the distinction between nominative and genitive without losing essentially anything.

These are: the 3 pronouns (naro juno): a (you, second person), i (third person), o (I, first person); and

:the 3 logical particles (sime juno / sime kumo), used like prepositions except in the end of clause where they are used as predicates: an (become), in (indicating position), un (the negative particle).
