Test Sentences, 16

Continuing with Gary’s list, and still experimenting with a one-a-day format:

35. We should eat more slowly.

“Eating” as ingesting uses the verb ono, which requires a source, namely one’s belly, kye. From a previous post, we determined that the evidential dɛstɛ with the hortative ki makes a suggestion. And in another previous post, we decided to make the adverb-modifying adverb no, which here will modify the adverb tosi “slowly”. So:

35. lɛnna kye gogɨdiya ono tosi no dɛstɛ ki.

Food should go more slowly to our belly.

In Kēlen:

35. hēya ñanta anhōhi anjīlni ānen antōxa nā;
