Syntax

Pronominal forms

• Keeping Latin vocalism of the first-person pronoun, albeit with different embodiments: Èu/Èo

• General extension of prepositional contractions of a similar nature. Contractions of unstressed pronouns, accusative dative used more so in enclitic position that proclitic: mo, ma, mas, cho, cha, chas, yo, yos, yas.

• Distinction between accusative and dative in the personal pronouns so in 2ª te/che than in 3ª person ye/lo/la. The pronominal form «min» used always as a complement with preposition: a min, por min, de min, etc.

• Using interest dative: ‘’Eso nun che me gusta nada, vouchéme fer un traxe, llevábachebos un traxe, éche grande, vaiye cansao’’. In these cases the pronomes “che”- and –“ye”- have sympathetic value or of interest to highlight the attention of the recipient of the action. However the indirect object lost this condition when t is preceded by the reflexive indirect object, then normal operating.

• The roll of no reflexive complement, is replaced by different forms contracts: ‘’ye: yo, ya, yos, yas, así: deoyo, llevayo’’, etc.

System verb combinations:

• Temporary periphrasis future or imminent: ir (a) + inf. Vouche contar el que pasou; estar a + inf. estar + ger.: tábamos a mirar os coches; haber + inf. haber a + mf. haber de + inf.: heivos dar as ferramentas, hía a contarvos úa cousa, han de traballar máis; Querer + inf: Peime que quer estear.

b) Perfectives: acabar de + mf. Acaba de ye falar; dar (por) + part: Non dou feira a xeira; deixar de + inf: Deixamos de trabayar onte; levar + part. Iva durmido xa tres horas; ter + part.” Teño rematado(s) os exames; haber + part.: ha falao con él dúas veces'.
