An NP with an adverb as modifier is also a relative
construction in Acehnese. The adverb represents several
possible full forms of relative clauses. For example, baroe
'yesterday' in ureueng baroe 'person yesterday' might be the
reduced form of one of the relative clauses following the
head NP ureueng 'person' in ureueng nyang teuka keunoe baroe
'the person who came here yesterday,' ureueng nyang
meurumpbk ngon geutanyoe baroe 'the person whom we met
yesterday,' ureueng nyang ta-kalon baroe 'the person that we
saw yesterday,' etc.
25. Ureueng baroe guru ban trok.
Person yesterday teacher just arrive
'The person (whom we met) yesterday is a (new)
teacher who had just arrived.'
Sometimes the full form and the reduced form are used
interchangeably for the same meaning. In the following
examples, the full forms are used, but they can be replaced
by the reduced forms without any difference in meaning. So,
jja krong nvang baro 'the sarong which is new' can be
replaced by jja krong baro 'new sarong' and ureueng nvang
kava 'the person who is rich' by ureueng kaya 'rich person.'
26. Ka geu-bloe jja krong nvang baro keu droeneuh.
PERF 3r-buy cloth sarong which new for your
' (Mother) has bought a new sarong for you.'
