We will examine these various terms and continue to work with what we know about our language.\r\n\r\nThe teacher should be careful about explaining these terms to the students in English. It becomes quite confusing to the first learner. We will be as simple as possible in this introduction of pronouns in the native language, and how it is explained in English.\r\n\r\nThe pronouns in Sahaptin are clitics, which are suffixed to the first word of the sentence, whatever that is.\r\n\r\nThe clitic pronouns for intransitive verbs are:\r\n\r\n=(n)ash \t1st person singular (I)\r\n=na \t\t1st person plural inclusive 'we' (you and I; including you)\r\n=(n)atash \tlst person plural exclusive 'we' (not including you)\r\n\r\nw\u00edna-Verb 'go';\r\n-sha imperfective present tense suffix 'ing'.\r\nt\u00e1wn Noun. town\r\n-kan toward\/to\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n1. \u00cdnk nash w\u00ednasha t\u00e1wnkan. \t \tI am going to town.\r\n2. Nap[i]in\u00edkna w\u00ednasha t\u00e1wnkan. \tWe are going to town. (inclusive)\r\n3. Nap[i]in\u00edknatash w\u00ednasha t\u00e1wnkan. \tWe are going to town. (exclusive)\r\n\r\n1<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe agreement prefixes with intransitive verbs are:\r\n\r\ni-\t3rd person, singular \u2018he, she, it\u2019\r\npa- \t3rd person plural \u2018they\u2019\r\n<\/a>\r\nThe 3rd person singular prefix \u2018i-\u2019 is usually left off of any verb that starts with a vowel.\r\nThere are no prefixes on intransitive verbs with 1st or 2nd person subjects.\r\n\r\nSo in any intransitive 2<\/a> sentence there will be something to tell who the subject is \u2014either a\r\nclitic pronoun, if the subject is 1st or 2nd person, or a prefix on the verb if the subject is 3rd\r\nperson.\r\n\r\ni-w\u00edna-na. \t\u2018He\/she went\u2019\r\nw\u00edna-na-ash. \t\u2018I went\u2019\r\nw\u00edna-na-pam.\t\u2018you guys went\u2019\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
