Relative Clauses
From Sereer wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Relative clauses follow the noun that they modify. The verb takes different affixes in a relative clause than in a matrix clause. Examples from the present tense:
Verb root = ga’ ‘see’
okoor oxe ga’uuma
‘The man that I saw’
okoor oxe ga’oona
‘The man that you (sg.) saw’
okoor oxe te ga’na
‘The man that he saw’
okoor oxe i nga’na
‘The man that we saw’
okoor oxe nu nga’na
‘The man they you (pl.) saw’
okoor oxe de nga’na
‘The man that they saw’
