. _a(le)_), here. _va(ie)_, there. _ombatsi_, underneath. _gisa(le)_, far. _ime(li)?_ far. _kugume_, near. _tsi_, inside. _val'enga_, outside. _tu_, on, over _ibe(le)_, down there. _o(me)_, up there. _yo(le)_, there above. III. Adverbs of Time. The adverbs of time are not very definite. For example _audati_, "to-day, now," means also "in a few days" or "a few days ago." The latter meaning is also attributed to _arima_, and the former to _aiti_. _aida_? when? _vomarima_, day before yesterday. _arima_, yesterday. _male(ke)_, formerly. _malieke)_, formerly. _audali)_, to-day, now. _aiti(me)_, to-morrow. _vomaiti_, day after to-morrow. _talele_, often, for ever. _dedi_, just now, later (near). _ido(ve)_, not yet (with fut.) immediately. _ulsienga_, later on, in the future. _utsimata_, later on, in the future. _utsinenga_, later on, in the future. _kelavalage_, for a time. _-ta_, at first. _vo(ye_, again. IV. Adverbs of Quantity. _dovavemunge_? how much? how many? _domamai_? how much? how many? _avevemunge_, as much, so much, as many, so many. _tale(le)_, many. _apa(le)_, enough. _kisiaka_, few, little. _oko_, few, little. _-ta_, very. _ande_, very. _boboi_, entirely, quite. _gegeto_, few. Note. When _apa_ is used with a numeral it precedes it. Ex. _apa gegeto_, two are sufficient. V. Adverbs of Affirmation, Negation and Interrogation. _e_, yes. _akai(ge)_, truly. _g'akai_, truly. _me_! what! certainly! _ila_! I who knows? _ua(ne)_, not, no. _na_? is it not (French, n'est ce pas?). _ouo_! not at all, by no means. _andal'ai(me)_? why? Note. _Me_, _ouo_, and _ila_ are almost interjections. VI. Adverbs of Manner and Likeness. The adverbs of manner are often replaced by noun suffixes attached to the verb, with the final _i_. (See Verbal Suffixes, p. 323). _unoi_, together. _akaumai(nge)_, further, beyond, besides. _uneke_, only. _ende_, also. _elele_, quickly. _dedi_, slowly _fidefide_, continually. _kela_, without reason, gratis. Note. When _ende_ modifies a verb with subject in the third person, it is preceded by the pronoun _ove_. Ex. _nau fud' ov' ende fufuli_, my bones (they) also ache. Prepositions and Postpositions. I. Prepositions. Only two prepositions are found in Fuyuge. These are _ise_, near, and _ga_, by. Ex. _aked' is' okid' ando_, the men are near the fire; _ganda_? _ga ma_! by what do you swear? by the thread. Note. _Ga_
