Sentence Structure
The basic form of a verb is the he/she form. Prefixes (at the beginning) and suffixes (at the end) indicate the WHO of the verb or the sentence. For example:
zhyaMeans: He/she is going.
nde zhyaMeans: I am going.
gde zhyaMeans: You are going.
Remember
nipithëMeans: Where
nithëpiMeans: When
winithëMeans: Who
wégwnithëMeans: What
nithëAlso means: What
You will notice that when a sentence begins with any of these words, the verbs take different endings. For example:
nipithë ė zhyatMeans: Where is he/she going?
nipithë ė zhyayanMeans: Where am I going?
nipithë ė zhyayenMeans: Where are you going?
Remember: Future tense is indicated by “wi”…….Past tense is indicated by “gi”. For example:
nwi zhyaMeans: I am going (somewhere).
ngi zhyaMeans: I did go or I went.
In subordinate sentences these syllables change to “wa” and “ga”. For example:
nipithë wa zhyayen?Means: Where are you going to go?
nipithë ga zhyayen?Means: Where did you go?
