Order of adverbials and type-5'ed nouns
by mayqel qunen'oS 10 Jul '19

First goes the {'Iv}/{chay'}/{nuq} etc, if it's a question. Then the time stamp. Then assume we have an adverbial and a type-5'ed noun. Does the adverbial *have* to precede the type-5'ed noun ? Or does the type-5'ed noun *have* to precede the adverbial ? I think, there is no *definite* answer on this matter, and that it comes down to personal preference. Is this correct, or is there indeed a *definite* answer on the matter ? ~ gjjgkh

Order of {vaj} relative to the {chay'}
by mayqel qunen'oS 09 Jul '19

I'll write how I'm understanding this, and correct me if I'm wrong. I know that the cat has drunk the milk, however the bird insists that it still sees it. I want to say to the bird: "I know that the cat has drunk the milk, so how do you see it ?". So I write: {nIm Soppu' vIghro' 'e' vISov, chay' vaj nImvam Dalegh ?} At this sentence, the {chay' vaj} "seems" strange, since the english goes "how in that case..", while one would expect to listen "in that case how..". But I think, that writing {chay' vaj..} *is* the correct choice, and that the only "problem" is that the direct english translation sounds strange. Am I right ? ~ khhkkh
