With a click, you can will highlight a series of words presenting the two last postpositions existing in Rromani:

-θe indicating the place you are or the place you are going to (= at, to) >>
-θar the place you come from (= from)

They fonction exactly like -qe or -ça and are postponed to the whole group of the nound

A-ćham

o phuro siklǎrno

B-ćham

ël phure siklǎrnes

B-ćham+postp.

ël phure siklǎrnes

-θe-θar

including when there is already one postposition (the one of possesion) inside

tě/tǎ butǎqo than

Today's topic 2 >>

Padmad 10 introduced the verbal pivot, with various fonctions including the counterpart of the English passive participle. It allowed us to build the active past tense of E-class verbs (padmad 11: pherel > pherdo > pherdǎs) but as a matter of fact it is also a bridge toward the formation of the present and the past tenses of the passive-reflexive voice, which combines both values of the English passive is filled and reflexive fills himself.

If we symbolize as Ēl the present tense ending of E-class verbs (-av, -es, -el, -as, -en, -en – cf. padmad 3) and as Ās their past tense endings (-ǒm, -ǎn, -ǎs, -ǎm, -en, -e – cf. padmad 5), we may depict the whole structure of all the tenses of both present and basic past tenses in both active and passive-reflexive voices as follows (K is the stem of the verb):

active voice

verbal pivot

pass-refl. voice

present tense

K + Ēl

K + iv + Ēl

K + d/l with buxlo type adj. ending (-o, -i, -e)

basic past tense

K + d/l + Ās

K + d/l + il + Ās*

but notice that the ending -ives, -ivel & -iven are as a rule contracted in modern Rromani contracted into -ěs, -ěl & -ěn – cf. in the present text ćhinděn, pherděl, phenděl standing for (obsolete) ćhindiven, pherdivel, phendivel.
*See padmad 18 as for the remark about Ās*.

The genuine Rromani expression rendering it rains, it is raining is del brśind, whereas other constructions are loan-translations from other languages (as perel [o] brśind < Hungarian esik az eső, Serbo-Croаtian pada kiša; ʒal [o] brśind < Russian идёт дождь etc).
