Notes (Njalenjale) |
In Kundjeyhmi the pronoun prefix is either a- or nga-, take your pick. Remember the 'h' is a glottal stop and NOT an aspirated sound as it might be in English. If you don't know what a glottal stop is have a read here:
You don't have to use the glottal stop in this word. When it comes after the pronoun prefix, it marks that an action is happening right now. You can also just say:
Nga-kurrmeng =past tense Minj nga-kurrmeninj 'I didn't put it'. Ka-kurrmerren (W) 'he/she/it is putting himself/herself/itself' Kurrmerrinj S/he put herself/himself (reflexive past tense) Yi-kurrmen! 'Put it!' (imperative) |
