ADP: adposition
ADP
Definition
Adposition in Pomak is a preposition. Thus, the preposition comes before a complement composed of a noun phrase, noun, pronoun, or clause that functions as a noun phrase, and forms a single structure with the complement to express its grammatical and semantic relation to another unit within a clause.
