ངའི་བོད་སྐད་ཀྱི་འཛིན་གྲྭའི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད།

Hello Dirk :slight_smile:

I wrote this sentence and it has so many connectives that I am wondering if it makes any sense at all. Could you please share your thought about it:

ངའི་བོད་སྐད་ཀྱི་འཛིན་གྲྭའི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད།

Oh it’s a great question!

So your intuition is right that it’s a bit funky to use so many connectives all in a row. What usually ends up happening is you can leave some out. You will want to check with a native speaker to see what sounds most natural in this case, because there is not really a rule for it (at least, not one that is spelled out).

I’d try for something like: ངའི་བོད་སྐད་འཛིན་གྲྭ་ཡི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད། or maybe ངའི་བོད་སྐད་ཀྱི་འཛིན་གྲྭ་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད།

Alternatively, in some cases it might be more natural to split things into multiple sentences… It just depends…

So, my teacher said that both are correct, but this one is actually better:
ངའི་བོད་སྐད་འཛིན་གྲྭ་ཡི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད
