Not "Dont daoguma biisi takan Dont yanuga"?
Massimiliano B wrote:If you say "Dont" here (Don + t as the agent marker, that is, the subject of transitive verbs only), the sentence is ungrammatical, because the verb "anuga" is intransitive. For intransitive verb, you have to use the intransitive set of prefixes, and the subject has to be unmarked (that is, left without -t).

Well supposedly that's difficult for Estonians from the island of Saaremaa too, so don't feel bad.
