Gerunds

In English, a gerund is the present participle acting as a noun. These are recognizable in the following instances:

Non finite clauses:

  • The running of the country is an unenviable task.
  • The recording of an album can be a costly effort.

After prepositions

  • I've warned you about running in the corridor!
  • The police warned us against going into the building.

The verb acting as a subject/object

  • I like swimming. (direct object)
  • Swimming is fun. (subject)

The gerund preceeded by a genitive

  • We enjoyed their singing.

For the most part, a Dalcurian gerund is rendered with the infinitive and the preposition te-to:

  • Te qalegør ni qalegørämös näocr stætaröpas vädenár. The recording of a record can be expensive.
  • Te valcr 20 minötel iádasas, öcra di läbendéj, éagöra. Walking 20 minutes per day is good for the heart.
  • Te øélár andri nörasábel máriÞ vendábrämösel disiri tamørämös. Laughing at disabled people is very ignorant.

With prepositions, te attaches to the verb by high apostrophe:

  • Minäla, rödn te'vaÞr am amnistráÞ, gä'vonlétr minöra. We were warned about running in the corridor. Lit: They, over to run in the corridor, warned us.
  • Di incatrolátsi, stæcamä te'gör amte prodnæj, gä'béÞamr minöra. The police advised us against going into the building. Lit: The police, against to go into the building, advised us.

Where a verb acts as an object, this is simply given as a pure infinitive:

  • Binä iqur svemör. I like swimming. Lit: I like to swim.

If the verb has an actual noun, then this can also be used with an article:

  • Ni svemörämös di agöepedandrädn ebian qve binöra. Swimming is my favourite hobby. Lit: A swim is my favourite hobby.
