Prepositions 2
With and without are two very useful concepts
that can expand your vocabulary:
v) For with
use gen
before a consonant or gans before a vowel or letter h,
e.g.
gen kei with
a dog
gen leth with
milk
gans an kei with
the dog
gans hedna with
that
gans o dama with my mother
We
can combine these with some of the last lesson:
Ma hei ow mos gen
kei. She is going with a
dog.
Ma te gen leth. There is tea with
milk.
Ma va (owth) eva te gen
con. He is drinking tea with
sugar.
Ma hei ow tos gans
an kei. She is coming with
the dog.
Gans hedna, ma va ow mos tre. With
that, he goes home.
vi) For without
use heb,
e.g.:
te heb con tea without sugar
Te heb con, mar
pleg! Tea without sugar,
please!
Eus te heb leth? Is there tea without milk?
heb tra veth oll without anything at all
