Some Greenlandic grammar and structures - index

Postby nighean-neonach » 2007-02-13, 12:25

As I am going to add more and more little topics about the basics of Greenlandic, I thought it might become a bit confuising for newcomers as well as for those who want to go back to one of the older topics to read through them again.
So I though I'll put an index here, to make it easier to find certain topics again:

(Please don't write any questions, small talk or other stuff in here, this is meant to be index alone - ask all questions in the relevant topics please :) )

I've decided to try my hand at Greenlandic. I have a bunch of vocabulary terms and suffixes in my iPod's flashcard database. Thanks for this! A little late, I'm aware...

I like that, too, and that's how all things work in Greenlandic. The words just get longer and longer ;) but basically it's like Lego pieces or a jigsaw puzzle or like connecting cables with certain plugs.

It has been 15 years! That's like half the age of the World Wide Web.

You can get them to work by replacing the "www" with "forum", though, like this:
https://forum.unilang.org/viewtopic.php?t=15413
in place of this:
https://www.unilang.org/viewtopic.php?t=15413

I don't know why this change was made years ago, but I think it had to do with server migration or something like that, not a deliberate change. Anyway it means links to old posts in old posts no longer work, but you just change "www" to "forum". So here are the links from the first post in this thread in the new format:

Sono di continuo a caccia di parole. Descriverei il processo così: Ogni giorno entro in un bosco con un cestino in mano. Trovo le parole tutt'attorno: sugli alberi, nei cespugli, per terra (in realtà: per la strada, durante la conversazioni, mentre leggo). Ne raccolgo quante più possibile. -Jhumpa Lahiri
