ABSTRACT
The verb kaimén (lit. ‘open door’), meaning ‘to be open’ or ‘to open’, is used to refer to the opening time of various shops and organizations. You cannot use this verb to say ‘open the coffee jar’, for example. That is to say, the verb kaimén cannot take an object. For example:
Cantcng qc dikn kAimén. The restaurant opens at seven.
