Placement of the to-infinitive with adjectival to-infinitivals
quickinfo

Adjectival to-infinitival clauses differ from verbal ones. Adjectival to-infinitivals tend to precede the selecting verb whereas verbal ones tend to follow it.

Adjectival to-infinitival clauses differ from verbal ones in that adjectival to-infinitives normally occur to the left of the selecting verb:

1
Omdat it ien net te begripen is sûnder it oar
because the one not to understand is without the other
Because you cannot understand one without the other

They can with varying degrees of success be placed to the right of the selecting verb, as shown below:

2
a. Omdat it ien net is te begripen sûnder it oar
because the one not is to understand without the other
Because you cannot understand one without the other
b. ?*Omdat it net is te iten sa goar
because it not is to eat so horrible
Because it cannot be eaten as it is so horrible

Placement to the right may be due to interference from Dutch.
