yeah.
take "bro" (country). now take "ar" (the) and you get :
"ar vro" (the country).
see ?
kador (chair) > ur gador (a chair)
kafe (caf=E9) > ur c'hafe (a caf=E9)
that's because chair is feminine and kafe is masculin.
as you know for sure.
(some bretons told me that's why britton has not
become france's official language, but you don't have
to believe them.)

yeah.
me+erti > mengerti
me+kerti > mengerti
hopefully "kerti" doesn't exist in indonesian. only "erti" exists.
it means "meaning". "mengerti" means "to understand".
it's good that "kerti" doesn't exist because you immediately
understand that "mengerti" is "understand".
if "kerti" existed, you could understand
that "mengerti" is "understand" while it wouldn't.
and conversely.
> "me+duga > menduga" would rather be "men + tuga > men duga".
but indonesian makes me+tuga > menuga and me+nuga > menuga.
that's where natlangs beat us.

i know. well, i knew. it's got an indonesian name i forgot.
anyway, it happens when you regularly nasalise me- and pe-
and you chew rice and banana at the same time.
or kind of scientific reason like that.

try britton instead then. it's cool and they make nice
buttercakes with some cake in the butter.
