Level 2

n' + place word + the thing.

How It Works

Place wordMeaning
n'eluon top of

n'imeinside
n'azụbehind
n'ihuin front of

Example: Akwụkwọ ahụ nọ n'elu oche. “The book is on the chair.” Each word begins with the apostrophe form of na. The thing it relates to follows: n'ime ụlọ “inside the house”. Each place word is written with n' joined, and the noun that follows is a separate word. Pair them with nọ to say where something is.
