ndive

With: Ndive

Level 1

Ndive means “with”, and it joins a pronoun into one word.

How It Works

Ndive means “with”, in the sense of “in the company of”. It comes after the person you are with.

After a noun, ndive is a separate word: isy ndive “with his mother”, jarýi ndive “with the grandmother”.

The pronouns take their nasal forms before ndive: nendive, ñanendive and penendive.

In speech you may also hear the short forms ndi and ndie. Ndi joins a question word: Mávandipa repytáta? “With whom will you stay?”

Haʼe ou orendive.
He comes with us.
Orendive is ore plus ndive in one word, and it leaves out the person spoken to.
Resẽta chendive.
You will go out with me.
Chendive is “with me”, in one word.
Maymáva ohóta nendive koʼẽrõ.
Everyone will go with you tomorrow.

Ou isy ndive.
