Ok, this is based on Struth's great idea of 'Sentence of the Week.' I just decided to rename it 'Mini-Lessons' for the hell of it.
I'm not going to go over pronunciation at this point (which might seem strange, but I want to see what activity level we get first). Plus Mohawk pronunciation is not that hard (in my opinion anyway). If you guys want a pronunciation guide just let me know!
The lay-out of this should be pretty self-explanatory, but just in case:
I'll post a sentence with a (literal) gloss of the sentence in English. And I might post some notes if I feel it necessary.
Anyway, time for our first sentence!
We'll start by looking at the 'bound' pronouns that exist in Mohawk, starting with the subjective pronominals. It will also demonstrate the imperfective (or habitual) suffix. I’ll abbreviate imperfective as ’IMP.’
