ma da #492

Closed JimGeselbracht closed 2 months ago

JimGeselbracht commented 2 months ago

What is the meaning when the word "da" is added in phrases like "ma da bo dekebii," "A da mei me dorael e Sarang," "Me a da mluut el ngoikak," etc. What part of speech is this?

Maybe it comes from ADANG and the NG is dropped? https://tekinged.com/?lookup=adang&direction=pe

Bent nailed it. It is like an agreement without an option to say no. :-)

Thanks, that makes sense. So it should be written "me ada dorael"

Yes, exactly.
