The following are examples of transitive verb endings. They describe a subject (who is doing an action) and an object (who is on the receiving end of the action):
| takujara | I see her /him / it. |
| takujagit | I see you. |
| takujanga | She sees him. |
There are transitive endings for asking questions:
| takuviuk? | Do you see her / him / it? |
| takuvauk? | Does she see him / her / it? |
| tusaavinnga? | Do you hear me? |
Transitive endings can be used to describe the relationship between two or more people using the affix -gi-:
| panik | daughter |
| Ilisapi panigiviuk? | Is Ilisapi your daughter? |
Note that when answering the question, an Inuktut speaker will shorten the construction and just add a simple noun ending to express the relationship.
| ii, Ilisapi paniga. | Yes, Ilisapi is my daughter |
The affix -gi- is also used to create a link between people in expressions like:
| Katimaqatigijunnaqqinnga? | Can you meet with me? |
| Uqaalavigilauqtara ippatsaq. | I called him yesterday. |
| Nalligijanga. | She loves him. |
-ri- is the form this affix takes after a root ending in q- :
| nuliaq | wife |
| Uluusi nuliariviuk? | Is Uluusi your wife? |
| Aagga, Miali nuliara. | No Mary is my wife. |
One more example:
| angijuqqaaq | head of an organization; boss |
| Inna angijuqqaarivauk? | Is that his boss? |
| ii angijuqqaanga | Yes, she's his boss. |
