Stepping through a course - Lesson 22

This lesson is very short, concentrating on the "Let's" form of the imperative, and also introduces an important preverb meaning "go and...", as well as another verb.

I'm not adding any extra material to this lesson, because tomorrow's lessons will have plenty to work with.

Dialog -

M: Ambe! Awi-giiwosedaa.
F: Giwii-wewebanaabi na?
M: Ambe! Awi-wewebanaabiidaa!
* * * * * * * * * * * *

And here's the line-by-line breakdown:

M: Ambe! Awi-giiwosedaa.

• Here we'rre introduced to the preverb "awi-", meaning "go and...". He is saying "Come on, let's go and hunt."

F: Giwii-wewebanaabi na?

• Another new verb meaning to fish is introduced here. She's asking "Are you going fishing?"

M: Ambe! Awi-wewebanaabiidaa!

• Here we'll take advantage of both the new preverb and verb in the example. He's saying "Com on! Let's go and fish!"

New words this lesson:

• awi- - go and ... [DO SOMETHING]
• wewebanaabii - fish [by hook and line]
