For preposition we have identified this categories:
Maj can use preposition to represent an object. This technique compensate for the reduced numbers of words available in Maj Lexicon. We describe an object that we see refering to other objects that have a relation. For this we use compositional prepositions.
We use ov = about preposition to decribe better one noun using another noun. We are using prezent tense that is created using verb "sopu" and preposition: "oi" = now. We will learn letter all the time tense prepositions.
We use ku = with proeposition to describe an object that include another object. For example a food wrap that incude some filling ingredient inside. This word is borrowed from Romanian cu that have the same meaning.
We can refer to time and locations using several prepositions. Most frequent:
{pe, at, yn} = {on, at, in}. Let's check some examples:
Most common preposition is "ku" = "with" representing an instrument. For agent we use "de" = "by" It can represent a person. However "de" is usually translated as "from". So the author is a source. Usually "de" is floow by "la" for locations and not for agent.
In usual conversation often we are looking for something, or describe the location of an object relative to another object. These are some prepositions fulfeel this need.
