Here are the Flemish variants...

>> going to school - gaun tae the schuil
>
> LS: tou schoul gaan
V: noa skole(schole) goan
When you say"  'k ga noa de skole", you mean a certain school.
> (cf. German with article: zur Schule gehen < zu der Schule gehen)
> (cf. Missingsch, LS-based German, without article: zu Schule gehn)
>
> LS _tou schoul gaan_ means that he is a student/pupil.  If you use an
> article and say _tou dey schoul gaan_ (better _na dey schoul gaan_) it
> means 'going to the school (building/site)', just like saying "going to
> the school" in English.
In V we say:
Je goa nog noa skole (Hij goat nog noa skole/schole)
>
>> he's in hospital - he's in the ospital/infirmary
J'is in't ospitoal (hij is in't ospitoal/'t siekenhuus)
>
> American: he's in the hospital
>
> LS (with article): hey is (in dat >) in 't süykenhuus
> (German (with article): er ist (in dem >) im Krankenhaus)
>
> Without article:
>
> LS: hey gayt na bed
> German: er geht zu Bett
> English: he goes to bed

V: je goa noa bedde.
or:  hij goat noa bedde

Also possible in LS:
na schoul gaan

> > German: er geht zu Bett
> > English: he goes to bed
>
> V: je goa noa bedde.
> or:  hij goat noa bedde

"Same" thing in those LS dialects that preserve _-e_:

hey gayt na bedde.

I suppose the _-e_ here is a remnant of a dative (or generally
objective) case suffix.

(BTW, the <a> in _na_ 'to', 'toward', is probably the same as V <oa>:
[Q:].)

Reinhard/Ron
