Today is all about location, location, location!
කොහෙද යන්නේ?: Where are you going?
To indicate direction, we must add one sound to the location we go to.
Take for example: I’m going to my house.
In Sinhala, the word for house is ‘gedhara/ගෙදර’. All we need to add
to this word is a ta/ට sound, and we’re all good to go!
to this word is a ta/ට sound, and we’re all good to go!
Mama mage gedharata yanawaa.
මම මගේ ගෙදරට යනවා
Let’s try one more sentence: I’m coming to the temple.
Mama pansalaṭa enavā.
මම පන්සලට එනවා.
One way you could think about this ‘ta’ sound is that it is kind of similar to
‘Oyaata-To you’
‘Oyaata-To you’
There will be more parts to this lesson coming up. Stay tuned!
