Talk:Mennonite Low German

I found a few mistakes in the article 1: the verb to find is finjen, not fingen. Palatalization is one of the most notable phonetic phenomena in Mennonite Low German. 2: the past tense of finjen is fungen, and in 1st and 3d person of the singular it has the k sound. Therefore some LG writers as in the Bible translation write it "funk" 3: there should be no t in the 3d person singular. 4: The third person of the plural is normally and officially "see" not "dee". Dee, a demonstrative pronoun (meaning that one/those ones) is being used frequently in its place, but also for hee or see. 4. Low German as well as German is a V2 language, meaning the main verbs comes always second in the main cluse. The normal word order is normally SVO. The example of "James the horn made" is incorrect. A Mennonite would say James made the horn. A dependent verb or participle is placed at the end, as are all verbs in dependent clauses. EXAMPLE: A Mennnonite would say: James has the horn made. Or: I was with James, as he the horn made. If a word relating to time or space is put at the beginning, the subject is moved after the verb. The example Now am I here is correct

I took out the conjugated cerb finjen and replaced it with a table of strong verbs
