Today we are going to have a quick list to look at. These are all words that can be used many times over and over. We will start with a standard verb. Then we will change the verb to a noun and then add a suffix that makes the word the one we can use every day.
The first verb is qdoca=to rain.
We make the 1st noun by adding the suffix -is after we have removed the final vowel of the verb. qdoca becomes qdocis. Now we add the suffix -altko to this noun and we get qdocisaltko. This new word means: rainy.
In a sentence it looks like: ona hot mo qdocisaltko gi. Yesterday it was very rainy.
Now we will do the same thing for kena=to snow.
The 1st noun is kes. Now we add -altko=kesaltko=snowy.
ona hot mo kesaltko gi. Yesterday it was very snowy.
wind=slewi=slewis=1st noun + -altko=slewisaltko= windy.
ona hot mo slewisaltko gi Yesterday it was very windy.
sun=sabas. It is already a noun so we don’t have to go through the 1st action.
sabas + -altko=sabasaltko=sunny.
ona hot mo sabasaltko gi. Yesterday it was very sunny.
wen=to freeze-The 1st noun is wes=ice
The 1st noun of this verb is wes. Add the suffix -altko=wesaltko=icy.
ona hot mo wesaltko gi. Yesterday it was very icy.
