 ====== Phrasal verbs ======
-**//Phrasal verb//** is the combination of two or three words from different grammatical categories, with one being a [[grammar_verb|verb]] and other a particle ([[grammar_adverb|adverb]] or [[adpositions|preposition]]), to form a single semantic unit (from [[lexicon|lexical]] or [[syntax|syntactical]] point of view). These semantic unites cannot be always understood based upon the meanings of individual parts alone, but must be take as a whole. In other words, the meaning is non-compositional and thus often unpredictable. Phrasal verbs do not include [[syntax_predicate|compound predicates]]. There are thousands of them in English and few in other Indo-European languages. Some combinations of verb with prepositions are not truly phrasal verbs, as prepositions may belong to verb's [[syntax_object|object]] or [[syntax_adverbials|adverbial]] phrase ("give to" is not phrasal verb, while "give up" is), so some articles for people studying English may be inaccurate in that matter.

 [[Nûrlâm]] doesn't have equivalents of English phrasal verbs. However it uses different ways to extend the meaning of basic verbs, which may be translated into English phrasal verbs:
