For wiin, you always add ‘d’. However, -an + d = -ang

Q

Translate

Ishkwaa-
Giizhi-

When are these used in ckeyaa past tense?

A

stop
finish

When the verb doesn’t have a natural endpoing, aka “you can do it all day”
Eg. Wiisini, to say “when I stopped eating”

53
Q

Which of the following verbs would require the preverb “ishkwaa” or “giizhi” when turning them into past tense ckeyaa? Why?

  1. Dagoshin
  2. Wiisini
  3. Anokii
  4. Waabam
A

Wiisini and Anokii, because they do not have a natural endpoind

In other words, to say “when you ate” you need to add a preverb that signals you did it in the past and stopped;

But a verb like “dagoshin” has a natural endpoing, so you don’t need a preverb to say “when you arrived”

54
Q

translate the following c-keyaa phrases

  1. ekidoyaan
  2. ge-ikidoyaan
  3. gaa-ikidoyaan
  4. waa-ikidoyaan

What has changed for each of these? What remains the same?

A
  1. what I’m saying
  2. what I will say (da-)
  3. what I said (gii-)
  4. what I want to say/am going to say (wii-)

The tense changes but the VTA ikido (S/he says) remains the same

55
Q

Translate

degoshinaan
gaa-tagoshinaan

why is this kind of a trick question?

A

both mean “once I got there”

because “dagoshin” has a natural endpoint, so ckeyaa already sounds like the past, meaning you don’t really need the ‘gii’ preverb unless you’re really emphasizing it was in the past

56
Q

Translate (aabajitoon = use it)

  1. eshkwaa-aabajitooyaan (vs) gaa-ishkwaa-aabajitooyaan
  2. gaazhi-aabajitooyaan (vs) gaa-kiizhi-aabajitooyaan

What preverbs are added in each one?
What is added in the second version?

A
  1. after I stopped using it (for both)
  2. after I finished using it (for both)

  1. ishkwaa (stopped) 2. giizhi (finished)
    In the second version of each “gii-“ is added, but the preverbs already do that work
57
Q

What story connecting pattern means “and then”?

A

izhi + ckeyaa

58
Q

Translate

gaa-izhi-ginjiba’iweyaan

(ginjiba’iwe = run away)

What signifies “and then” in the story connecting pattern?

A

and then I ran away

izhi + ckeyaa

59
Q

In the following sentence, what would you add to say “After I saw her, then I ran away”?

Gaa-waabamag, [blank]-[blank]=ginjiba’iweyaan.

Why did you add these?

A

gaa-izhi-

Because adding ‘izhi’ and turning it into ckeyaa means “and then” in past tense

60
Q

Izhi + ckeyaa = and then
Mii + ckeyaa = then

How do these phrases feel different?

A

Mii + ckeyaa also feels like “that’s how” and you use it to start a sentence, whereas izhi + ckeyaa strings events together, “and then…”

61
Q

How do these two differ in meaning?

  1. gaa-izhi-[verb]yaan
  2. Mii gaa-izhi-[verb]yaan

What tense are they each in?

A
  1. and then I…
  2. that’s how I…

Both are past
