you (singular)
Pronunciation

ngoot-duh

Morphology
(Karri-wokdjobdjobke)

Notes
(Njalenjale)

There is some dialect variation. In Gundjeihmi you can also hear the nasal at the start dropped off to give udda but also wudda. The ngudda form is however the most common form.

Usage
(Bale kabirri-yime?)

Again, as for ngaye, ngudda is a free standing pronoun which has a prefixed equivalent on verbs. In this case the equivalent is yi-[verb]

The addition of the free standing form adds a bit of emphasis e.g.
Bale yi-re 'where are you going?'
but
Ngudda bale yi-re? You, where are you going?
