Yet & Already (Part 1): Sinhala Grammar #28

Hello Everyone!


Today’s lesson will be a mini-lesson. The second part of this lesson will be released
on April 6th

In today’s lesson, we will be learning how to communicate that an action
was not yet done by the subject.


I did not eat yet.
Mama thama kǣve næ.
මම තම කෑවේ නැ


In order to express that something hasn’t happened yet, you must
use thama with the past negative tense of the verb. Let’s look at two more
examples to reinforce the concept:


(I )didn’t drink my tea yet.
Mage the thama biuwe nae.
මගේ තේ තම බිව්වේ නැ.


Why (didn’t you) do your homework yet?
Aeyi oyage gedara vaeda thama kare næ?
ඇයි ඔයාගේ ගෙධර වැඩ වැඩ කරේ නැ?


That’s all for today’s lesson! Thank you for reading, and like always,
feel free to leave questions or thoughts down in the comments below.
Tune back in on April 5th for the second part of this lesson!
