The affixes below are attached to verbs to indicate an action that happens often or regularly.

-vak- is added to verbs that end in a vowel. For verbs ending in a consonant, it changes to -pak-.  Note that in the South Qikiqtaaluk dialect, the k at the end of this affix changes to t before a noun ending that starts with t-:

ani + vak + tuq =  
anivattuq He/she goes out often.
   
makittaq + pak + tunga  
Qautamaat makittaqpattunga I play cards every day.

 

-qattaq- can be added to verbs ending in vowels or consonants. When added to a root ending in a consonant, it deletes the final consonant:

niri + qattaq + tunga =  
Ullaakkut niriqattaqtunga. I eat in the morning.
   
miqsuq + qattaq + tuq  
Unnukkut miqsuqattaqtuq. She sews in the evening.
In South Qikiqtaaluk dialect, -qattaq- and -vak-/ -pak- can normally be used interchangeably.
qikaq + qattaq + qit? =  
Ukiutamaat qikaqattaqqit? Do you take a holiday every winter?
   
qikaq + pak + tunga  
Aujatamaat qikaqpattunga. I take a holiday every summer.
