\{Peh}/ (撥) (Mandarin 被) is used to form the Passive, and is the
regular and proper form of the Passive. Thus: the verb \{°tang}/ (打)
means to “Strike.” \{°Ngoo °tang yi}/ (我打伊) means “I strike him.” To
put this into the Passive we would say \{°ngoo peh yi °tang}/ (我撥伊打).
Literally “I gave him strike,” or “I was struck by him.”
“Here” is expressed by \{leh-°li}/ or \{°tsh-di°}/ (垃裏, 此地) or
\{di°-deu}/ (第頭). \{°Tsh-di°}/ means literally “this place.”
“There” is \{leh-la°}/ (垃拉) or \{i-deu}/ (伊頭) or \{i-kwhe°}/ (伊塊).
“I am here” is \{°ngoo leh-li°}/ (我垃裏). “I am there” is \{°ngoo
leh-la°}/ (我垃拉).
These adverbs are often used as adverbial nouns and may take
prepositions before them. Thus \{Tau° °di-deu le}/ (到第頭來) means
“Come here.” Lit. “To here come.” \{Tau° i-deu chi°}/ (到伊頭去) means
“Go there.” Lit. “To there go.” \{°Pa la° °tsh-di°}/ (擺拉此地) means
“Place it here,” Lit. “Place it at here.” \{°Pa la° i-kwhe°}/ (擺拉伊塊)
means “Place it there.” Lit. “Place it at there.”
