Ayubowan!
This lesson accompanies the previous post: Too much: Sinhala Grammar #60
We will be discussing how to express the idea of “Not Enough” in Sinhala.
Let’s jump in!
(There is) not enough time.
Velava madhi.
වෙලාව මදි.
Madhyi has pretty much the same function as Vædhiyi. It captures the idea in
one word and can be placed anywhere in the sentence.
I don’t have enough money to buy a new phone.
Aluth fon ekak ganna salli madhi.
අලුත් ෆෝන් එකක් ගන්න සල්ලි මදි.
We do not have enough rice to give to everyone.
Hæmotama dhenna bath madhi.
හැමෝටම දෙන්න බත් මදි.
That’s it for this lesson! If you have any questions or comments, please feel
free to leave them down below. Stay tuned for the next lesson on February 8th, 2023!
Thank you for reading!
