S01 E12 C Form, Participle, What where When HowParticiple Formation is B:Form Conjugation and Initial vowel change, we call this C: FormSo: Bimisemagad: vii it is flying turns into Bemisemagak that which flies.To pluralize it, add -in to the ending so:Bemisemagakin: Planes Question WordsAaniin: what is it?/ How is it?Aaniindi: Where is it?Aaniish a…

S01 E10 B-Form Negation -sinok -zinokIn B form you don’t use a Gaawiin for negation, it is just built into the conjugation. There are slight differences between the 3 verb endings, but as usual their is a recognizable pattern:VII with Vowel Ending: Add sinok to endingAgoode: Agoode + sinok Agoodesinok: When they aren’t hanging…VII with D Ending: -d…

S01 E09 B-Form Singular and PluralB-form or Dependent form (also known as Conjunct) is a useful way in Ojibwe to make more complex ideas, where one word in your sentence is dependent on something else to make a complete thought. This is achieved in VII’s by either getting rid of the d at the end of the verb, or adding a g. Note that this is the sam…

S01 E08 A- Form Conjugation refresherHere is a link to a google doc I have made for the class so far that you can download and open on your own:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XS4qAEe9A-nKgUyi74q_FSu6zckXtvZY9exnEnG025w/edit?usp=sharing For quick reference to all these Conjugations I have always found the Table at the Back of the Articles of Os…

S01 E07 Tenses Gii, Wii, Da, DaaTo change the time an event takes place with VIIs (and all other verb groups) add prefixes to the verb. Gii-, Wii-, da-, daa-.Gii- is the past tense prefix. Ate (it is in a certain place) becomes Gii-ate (It was in a certain place)Wii- is the desiritive future tense, translated as will or want to, so:Waaseyaamagad (i…

S01 E06 Yes or No Questions Na InaTo make a yes or no question add na or ina as the second word in your sentence. I tend to use ina if the proceeding word ended in a consonant, and na if it ended in a vowel, but you don’t have to worry about that. Some speakers only ever say na, and some always say ina. So: Gimiwan ina? Is it raining?Noodin ina? Is…

Episode 05 VII Negation and Pluralization: Zinoonin sinooninPluralizing negatives with VIIs is simple, do everything as we did to negate it, and then add in to the end.So Michaa (It is big) becomes Gaawiin Michaasinoonin (they are not big).Agoodemagad (It is hanging) becomes Gaawiin Agoodemagasinoonin (They are not hanging)Onizhishin (It is nice) b…

Episode 4: Negation Gaawiin —-sinoon -zinoon This week we begin negating VIIS!There are very slight differences technically to how we conjugate these verbs based on the ending of their root form. The three endings are Vowel endings, N Endings and D endings. All three begin with a Gaawiin though:If the VII Ends in an N, Begin with a gaawiin, then th…

Episode 03: VII pluralizationIf a VII ends in a vowel, to pluralize it add -wan, so Ate (It is in a certain place) becomes Atewan (they are in a certain place).If a VII ends in a consonant, to pluralize it add -oon to the end of the verb to pluralize it, so Agoodemagad (it is hanging) becomes Agoodemagadoon (they are hanging).VII’s Refresher words:…

Magad can be added to the end of a Verb that is Animate and Intransitive (VAI) into a verb that is Intranistive and Inanimate (VII).Which is to say it makes a verb that would be about an animate object about an inanimate object.So Wiisinii: vai wiin is eating becomesWiisiniimagad: vii it is eatingYou can find the thread of discussion on this link f…

Episode Two: VII Extension -magadThis week's episode doesn't exactly cover a "Conjugation" but an extension. VIIs which end in a vowel can be said as is, or with magad added to the ending, which does not change the meaning of the word at all. It only elongates it. So: Gisinaa becomes Gisinaamagad and they both mean it is cold. VIIs Covered in this …
