Miranei Word of the Day - -laem and - laer

-laem (adv., prep.)  on (pronc. LAY ehm)

-laer (adv., prep.) off (pronc. LAY ehr)

Like English, some words in Miranei have several functions. These two adverbs are also prepositions, just like English. 

The book is on the table (prep.). Put on your rain mac (adverb).

fun usage:

"Sanrfee naskreim saufeelaem ghen nékk?" (Would you sew on this button?) 

"Fjetteelaer narsknee lérdrau." (Take off your clothes. )


Literal translation - strip(future tense)off your clothes.

All commands are future tense verbs; suffix 'ee'.


new words used in the 'fun usage':

sauf (v.) sew

lérd (n.) cloth

lérdrau (n.pl.) clothes

fjett (v.) strip

nékk (n.) button 


cheers,

Kurt
