11. Buet nyang hana galak-keuh di kah bek ka-pubuet.<br />

Work which NEG like-2y SFC youy don't 2y-do<br />

'Don't do the (kind of) work that you do not like.'<br />

It should be noted that this is not the normal way of<br />

relativizing an object or dative. The normal way is by<br />

making the object or dative the subject (of passive). This<br />

is discussed in 6.1.5. The comparison between this method<br />

(which uses di before the subject) and the method using<br />

passive form (which uses Is before the agent) is also<br />

discussed in that section.<br />

[iii]. Subject-Predicate. This is also one of the forms<br />

of relative clauses that appears when a peripheral NP is<br />

relativized. This is discussed in 6.1.6.<br />

12. Na teuingat-neuh malam keude nyan tutong?<br />

6.1.2 nyang<br />

AUX remember-2- night shop that burnt-down<br />

'Do you remember the night when those shops burnt<br />

down?'<br />

The relative marker pyang is always optional, except<br />

when the head NP is modified by possessor (6.1.2.1) or when<br />

the head NP is omitted (6.1.3.3). nvang has two other<br />

variants: nang and lang. which are in free variation, but<br />

these variants are considered substandard.
