Editing Sundanese language (section)

====Place====
Sundanese has three generic prepositions for spatial expressions:{{sfnp|Hardjadibrata|1985|p=30}}
* ''di'': 'in', 'at' etc., indicating position
*''dina/na:'' 'on', 'at' etc., indicating specific position
* ''ka'': 'to', indicating direction (from places like city, country, buildings, rooms, street, human, entities, etc. and treating the noun as a place where something happens)
* ''kana'': 'to', indicating specific direction (from things, tools, containers, plants, organs or parts of body, etc. and treating the noun as an object)
* ''ti'': 'from', indicating origin
*''tina'': 'from', indicating specific origin
*
*h

Using different type of prepositions can result in different meanings.

di cai: at the bathroom/toilet

dina cai: inside of water 

ka cai: going to a bathroom/toilet

kana cai: into water

ti cai: (someone) comes from the bathroom/toilet

tina cai: (something) made of water, or (something) comes from water

ka mobil: going inside a car

kana mobil: something is done/happened to a car


To express more specific spatial relations (like 'inside', 'under' etc.), these prepositions have been combined with locative nouns:{{sfnp|Hardjadibrata|1985|p=72–74}}
