Is in a sentence
In a sentence, is always comes after the thing in question you emphasize with it. It never stands at the beginning of a sentence. It doesn’t work like the English Also… (~furthermore) at the beginning of a sentence. Therefore, it’s closer to the English too than to also. Note how too would never stand at the beginning of a sentence, either.
Ie. If you talk about apples and pears too, is will come immediately after the pears in the sentence.
In the above examples, én (I) and tél/telet (winter), acted as the second thing in question, respectively. Note how is follows immediately after them in the sentences.
