What is a "coverb"?
A coverb is a type of word that combines the functions of both a verb and a preposition, allowing it to convey complex meanings in a single expression. This linguistic feature is often found in languages such as Chinese and Korean. For example, a coverb can indicate an action while also showing the relationship between that action and a noun. In a sentence, it might express ideas like movement, direction, or location, effectively merging two grammatical roles into one. This flexibility allows speakers to communicate more nuanced ideas efficiently.
