Combinations
Indefinite-relative
The combined indefinite-relative pronouns are pronouns made from an indefinite and a relative pronoun. Pronouns are inflected by case and therefore cannot be the object and the subject of two different verbs at the same time. The usual construction is to use two pronouns separated by a comma, thus forming two clauses. With combined indefinite-relative pronouns, it becomes possible to use a single pronoun which is both the object and the subject of two different verbs at the same time.
Example:
- How can you miss something (that) you never had?
- Váj fíllallén tés, sók énnanaiŋe?
- Váj fíllallén téssok énnanaiŋe?
