Locative
Munsee uses a special locative suffix (-ung), which turns a noun into a location and adding meanings such as:
- "to the"
- "at the"
- "in the"
- "on the"
This is different from English, which uses separate prepositional words.
- (umu) Je le mangerai → (eng) Yo lo comeré ("I'll eat it.")
- (fra) je<prn><pers><p1><sg><nom> le<prn><pers><p3><m><acc> manger<v><tv><fut><p1><sg> → (spa) yo<prn><pers><p1><sg><nom> lo<prn><pers><p3><m><acc> comer<v><tv><fut><p1><sg>
