In our previous lesson we discussed the verb for "give me or hand me" in the round and rigid forms. Now we will learn (s-gi-ne-hv-si) which translates to "give me or hand me" in the liquid form. The liquid form includes all items that come in the liquid form. Remember, if the liquid changes form by freezing, you will have to use the lump form. Here are some sample sentences using (s-gi-ne-hv-si). Hand me the water. a-ma s-gi-ne-hv-si Formal or Syllabary pronunciation a-m s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation water hand me Pass me the coffee. Ko-wi s-gi-ne-hv-si Formal or Syllabary pronunciation Ko-w s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation Coffee pass me Pass me the tea. U-gwa-lo-ga go-sv-ta-nv-hi s-gi-ne-hv-si Syllabary pronunciation U-gwa-lo-g go-sv-ta-nv s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation leaves made with pass me Give me the milk. U-nv-di s-gi-ne-hv-si Formal or Syllabary pronunciation U-nv-d s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation milk give me Hand me the soup. U-ga-ma s-gi-ne-hv-si Formal or Syllabary pronunciation U-ga-m s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation soup hand me Note: (U-ga-ma) can also means gravy in the Giduwa dialect. Hand me the juice. U-da-ne-nv-hi s-gi-ne-hv-si Formal or Syllabary pronunciation U-da-ne-nv s-gi-ne-hv-si Conversational pronunciation juice hand me Note: (U-da-ne-nv-hi) literally means something that is left over and implies after it has been squeezed. To describe the juice in greater detail you would simply state the type of object and then say (u-da-ne-nv-hi) . Here are some types of juice: apple juice sv-ga-ta u-da-ne-nv-hi sv-g-ta u-da-ne-nv apple juice peach juice qwa-na u-da-ne-nv-hi qwa-n u-da-ne-nv peach juice tomato juice u-ne-gu-hi-s-di u-da-ne-nv-hi u-ne-gu-hi-s-d u-da-ne-nv tomato juice Practice these sentences. *For new members-If you have just started receiving lessons you can go to http://www.listbot.com, click List Subscribers and enter your member information, click (View List Archives), click (Cherokee Language Lessons) and choose the back lesson that you need. .
