13.24 sur = on
Sur
is quite easy, it simply means
on
.
Example
Le livre est
sur
la table.
The book is on the table.
Analogue to
dessous
(for
sous
) there is an adverb for
sur
, which is
dessus
. Which again means, that
sur = on, dessus = up.
Example
Elle va
dessus
.
She goes up.
Further, there are similar combination of the adverb:
là-dessus
= on it
ci-dessus
= up here
Example
Il a craché
là-dessus.
He spit on it.
Ci-dessus
vous voyez les anges qui s' ennuient.
Up here you see the angles being bored.
Again analogue to
dessous de / au-dessous de
there is the combination of
preposition +
dessus
=
en dessus de / au-dessus de
.
en-dessus de =
au-dessus de
= above
Example
En-dessus
de la ville, dans une position dominante, on voit l' église.
Au-dessus
de la ville, dans une position dominante, on voit l' église.
Above the city, in a dominant position, one can see the church.
