Hello Dirk
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།
Hello Dirk
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…
to me, this one looks much better:
ངའི་བོད་སྐད་འཛིན་གྲྭ་ཡི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད
I will check later in class. Thanks a lot!
Let us know what you find out!
So, my teacher said that both are correct, but this one is actually better:
ངའི་བོད་སྐད་འཛིན་གྲྭ་ཡི་རེའུ་མིག་འདི་རེད
Great! Then our first guess was best, a good sign
