In the previous grammar note, we looked at how you would tell one person to do something.
What if we want to ask more than one person to do something?
qai- | to come |
qaigit | Come here! (speaking to 1 person) |
qaigitsik | Come here! (speaking to 2 people) |
qaigitsi | Come here! (speaking to 3+ people) |
These endings were first introduced in the first couple of lessons with these common expressions:
tunngasugit | Welcome! (speaking to 1 person) |
tunngasugitsik | Welcome! (speaking to 2 people) |
tunngasugitsi | Welcome! (speaking to 3+ people) |
Remember to change the first letter of these endings when using roots that end in -q:
isiq- | to enter |
isirit | Come in. (speaking to 1 person) |
isiritsik | Come in. (speaking to 2 people) |
isiritsi | Come in. (speaking to 3+ people) |
