Verb
[edit]sinil
- they lie somewhere, are located somewhere (a group of several, separable and visually countable objects)
Usage notes
[edit]This verb is semantically limited to expression in the third person and refers to a single group. For multiple groups, use the verb naaznil.
This is a neuter verb. As such, it has only the perfective stem.
