In an earlier 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) |
