Pronouns as indirect objects
Pronouns as indirect objects
The indirect object in a sentence is the noun to or for what or whom the main action is being done. Typically, the indirect object comes after the verb and after an appropriate preposition. When the indirect object is a pronoun, the typical way to do it is to put it after the verb; in some dialects, it can come after the subject and before the verb. When the indirect object comes after the verb, include bah (to) or par (for) if they are needed for clarity (particularly in longer sentences). Examples: Gar ni dinui gal. You give me ale. Gar dinui gal bah ni. You give ale to me. Check with your local language enthusiasts about whether the alternate placement is permitted, which is deduced from the phrase bic ni skana'din.
