• abc-xyz:

 #my Book is.

Item 4: For most uses/conjugations of verbs in Sardinian, the verb stands on its own without a personal pronoun, while in English personal pronouns always precede any conjugated verbs. In other words, the tags of "appo" (I have) determine a new word "I" which precedes "have" in the English translation.

• Ex: (srd) Appo pèrditu duos de sos libros meos. → (eng) I have lost two of my books.
• Outputs for:
