Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (Standard) IPA(key): [bəduk.kaθ.]

Preposition

[edit]

ܒܕܘܼܟܲܬ݂ (b-dukkaṯ)

  1. instead of, in lieu of, in place of
    Synonyms: ܚܠܵܦ (ḥlāp), ܡ̣ܢ ܓܹܢ݇ܒ (min gēb)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • This term can be used as an adverb, fairy colloquial and rather limited in use; it can generally only be used at the end of a sentence. So, in the general case, the English adjective and adverb instead does not have an immediate counterpart in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic; rather, a phrase like ܒܕܘܼܟܬ݂ܹܗ (bdukṯēh, in-place-of-him, in its stead) or ܒܕܘܼܟܲܬ݂ ܗܵܢܵܐ (bdūkaṯ hānā, in-place-of this, instead of this, instead) must be used.
