New page

In this lesson you will learn about locations and how to talk about location (in front of, nearby etc)

===Locatives===
locatives "ko/kwa", "mo" and "fa" are used to describe location. "mo" usually means "inside" or a more precise location than "ko/kwa".

{| style="color:green;background-color:#ffffcc;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1"
| o kae? || where are you/he/she ?
|-
| ke bereka mo ofising || I am working in the office
|-
| o nna kwa Broadhurt mo Gaborone || he stays at Broadhurst in Gaborone
|-
| Festus o ko Francistown || Festus is in Francistown
|-
| Ba kwa tirong || They are at work
|-
| Sarah o yo || Sarah is here
|-
| Sarah ga a yo || Sarah is not here
|}

Note the use of "ofising" and "tirong" above. In general, whenever a noun is used as a location following "ko/kwa/mo/fa" then -ng is added at the end, unless the noun ends in "a" in which case the "a" is replaced by "-eng".
