Test Sentences, 76

Continuing with Gary’s list:

103. Listen.
104. Sit here by me.

Right, commands. Commands are marked with an end-of-clause particle ka. There is also be for negative commands, and ki for polite requests. Since this has a period and not an exclamation point, I am going to assume it is a polite request.

“Listen.” translates to “to your ears this comes”.

103. ŋi sada deya ono ki.

104. ŋidi dantɛndɛ leneya ki.
