The preposition “To” in English is ને ( ne ) in Gujarati.
So, To Ram -> રામને ( rAmane )
To Sita -> સીતાને (sItAne )
But preposition “To” is handled bit differently in Gujarati when used with pronouns.
Special forms are created incorporating ને ( ne ) to pronouns. So no need to add ને ( ne ) again.
e.g. “to him” in English is તેને ( tene) in Gujarati.
Notice this special form already has ને ( ne ) In it. So no need to add ને ( ne ) again.
Below table has list of forms for all pronouns.
