"My really nice friend and I went to the store." should be translated to Tagalog as "Nagpunta ako at ang aking kaibigan na napakabait sa tindahan." That is VSO. "Before I leave the house I eat." is most naturally translated as "Kumain ako bago umalis ng bahay." That is also VSO. | |

| Sep 20, 2018 at 16:39 | comment | added | Sir Cornflakes | @ubadub: I didn't say "LOL". And many linguistics study programs require that you learn some languages, usually at least one of them being not an indogermanic one. | |

As to your Welsh examples: i'r is a contraction of i yr, which, word-by-word, does mean to the.
