Close it. If the verb ends in –λε it becomes –ρ. Φερειπείν Βάλε το -> Βαρ το Put it. This is not an obligatory grammar rule so do not worry too much about it. However it does give you a more native sound and thus closer to fluency. 152
Chapter 42: Prepositions (2) – Προθέσεις (2) Prepositions are small words, particles, which aid us to show location, direction, means etc. In English examples of prepositions are such as in, out, with, without, against etc. In Cypriot there is a great number of prepositions which take specific cases. They are not inflected according to gender and number because they take cases and thus their use is straightforward if you know what case they take and the personal pronouns of each case. 42.1 Πούποτε = Nowhere/Anywhere It is a directional-locational preposition which means it is used to indicate a location or a direction and therefore it takes no case. Εν έσ’ει ψουμίν πούποτε. There is no bread anywhere. Εν πάει πούποτε. He is going nowhere. 42.2 Όποθθεν/όποττεν = Whereever/From whereever/From whichever direction Directional-locational preposition so no case. Οποθθεν/Οποττεν τζ’αι να πάει έθεννα φτάσει. From wherever/from whichever direction he will go he will not reach his destination. Μπόρει να πάει όποθθεν/όποττεν θέλει. He can go whereever he wants. 42.3 Δαχαμαί, Δαμαί, Ώδε = Here Directional-locational preposition. No case. Έλα δαμαί/δαχαμαί/ώδε. Come here. Φερ το δαμαί/δαχαμαί/ώδε. Bring it here. Κάτι έσ’ει δαμαί. There’s something here. 42.4 Δά, Δάθθε, Δάττε, Δάττε μέρου = Towards this direction here Directional-locational preposition. No case. Έλα δά/δάθθε/δάττε/δάττε μέρου. Come towards this direction here. Φερ το δά/δάθθε/δάττε/δάττε μέρου. Bring it towards this direction here. 42.5 Ποδά, Ποά, Ποδάθθε, Ποδάττε, Ποάττε = Over here (from over there) Directional-locational preposition. No case. Έλα ποδά/ποά/ποδάθθε/ποδάττε/ποάττε Come over here. Φερ το ποδά/ποά/ποδάθθε/ποδάττε/ποάττε Bring it over here. 42.6 Τζ’ειχαμαί, Τζ’αχαμαί, Τζ’αμαί, Τζ’ικάτω = (Over) Τhere Directional-locational preposition. No case. Πήαιννε τζ’ειχαμαί, τζ’αχαμαί, τζ’αμαί, τζ’ικάτω. Go (over) there. Βούρα τζ’ειχαμαί, τζ’αχαμαί, τζ’αμαί, τζ’ικάτω. Run (over) there. Κάτι έσ’ει τζ’ειχαμαί, τζ’αχαμαί, τζ’αμαί, τζ’ικάτω. There is something (over) there. 42.7 Τζ’ει, Τζ’είθε, Τζ’είττε, Τζ’είττε μέρου = Towards that direction there 153
