Kahulugan
Some languages use separate words before or after a noun or pronoun to show its relation to the rest of the sentence. These words can express place, time, direction, cause, or links between participants. Prepositions come before the words they go with, postpositions after them; some languages rely on attached endings instead. Unlike Endings, prepositions and postpositions are separate words.
