NE CLUSTER

Today we will learn our next cluster, *NE! Take a look at the words below:

Oravia English
neloa all
nepui any
nehen each
neron more
neliu other
newol beyond
netam only

The NE cluster is similar to the NO cluster in that they are also function words. However, they are a specific type: they deal with quantities and references.

You can say many new things now. For example:

No neloa hoi, nim netam i iran i geldove. 
Like everyone around here, I only like to sell.

Also, notice we have the word neron as more. Remember we use ga when comparing two things. Neron is used for addition, like this:

I iran i gelsar. Neron, i vanta e gerina. 
I like to buy. Furthermore, I have money.

Neron, eori.
More, please.

Now try to write 3 sentences using NE words.

You are ready for the exercise now!
