Much like in Germanic languages, prepositions and verbs can be combined to make prepositional verbs in Knašta. However, there are some important differences. Knašta prepositional verbs, for example, are not separable. They can also be coined at any time by combing any preposition and verb. The use of the previous construction is mostly optional, however, it is required at the end of sentences.

== Formation of Prepositional Verbs ==

Like in Germanic languages, the preposition comes first, then the verb infinitive. The new prepositional verb adopts the conjugation paradigm (-va, -nés, or irregular), based on the verb used.

=== Examples ===

'''donek''' (give) + '''ota''' (up) → '''otadonek''' (to give up)

'''parlenska''' (speak) + '''kontré''' (against) → '''kontréparlenska'' (to speak against)

'''gróþ''' (go) + '''ovéra''' (over) → '''ovéragróþ''' (to go over)

'''gaňa''' (win) + '''ovéra''' (over) → '''ovéragaňa''' (to win over)

== Use of Prepositional Verbs ==

Prepositional verbs can be used to substitute for any verb + preposition phrase:

=== Examples ===

'''Íl sen-gróþ par sé éskola.'''
 
he past-go by the school (He went by the school)

'''Íl sen-pargróþ sé éskola.'''
 
he past-by.go the school (He went by the school)

'''Sen-parlenskakatsí kontré sé planatsjon.'''
 
past-speak.I against the plan (I spoke against the plan)

'''Sen-kontréparlenskakatsí sé planatsjon.'''
 
past-against.speak.I the plan (I spoke against the plan)

'''Sen-kondwírakatsí ovéra sé pontsí.'''
 
past-drive.I over the bridge (I drove over the bridge)

'''Sen-ovérakondwírakatsí sé pontsí.'''
 
past-over.drive.I the bridge (I drove over the bridge)
