CWY Lesson #45

Ta-li-ne  I-ga  Ga-lo-ni  Ni-ga-du-si-ne  Ta-li-ga-yv-l
hu-de-ti-yv-sa-di-sv-i.

Today's lesson will be based on the classificatory verb "to have".  In
an earlier lesson we discussed how classificatory verbs work.  If you
remember, there are five different types of classificatory verbs, which
include the lump, limp, rigid, liquid and animate forms.  The verb must
correlate with the object in question.    

Today we are going work with the liquid form that includes all objects
that come in liquid form.  This includes items such as oil, water, juice
and (U-nv-di) which is the Cherokee word for milk. I have given you
several sentences that include the first person (I), second person (you)
and the third person, which includes (he, she or it).   You will also get
some adjectives describing milk. 

I have milk.
U-nv-di  ha-gi-ne-ha    Formal
U-nv-d   ha-gi-ne-ha    Conversational
milk          I have

I have hot milk.

U-yv-tsv  u-nv-di  ha-gi-ne-ha          Formal
U-yv-ts   u-nv-d   ha-gi-ne-ha          Conversational
hot        milk     I have

You have milk.
U-nv-di   tsa-ne-ha             Formal
U-nv-d    tsa-ne-ha             Conversational
Milk      you have

You have rotten milk.
U-go-si-dv   u-nv-di   tsa-ne-ha        Formal
U-go-si-d    u-nv-d    tsa-ne-ha        Conversational
rotten       milk       you have

You have sour milk.
U-na-tso-s-di   u-nv-di   tsa-ne-ha             Formal
U-n-tso-s-d     u-nv-d    tsa-ne-ha             Conversational
sour             milk       you have

He has milk.
U-nv-di   hu-ne-ha              Formal
U-nv-d    hu-ne-ha              Conversational
milk      he has

He has goat milk.
Tsu-ga-s-gwa-na-gi-dv   u-nv-di   hu-ne-ha      Formal
Tsu-g-s-gwa-na-gi-d     u-nv-d    hu-ne-ha      Conversational
goat                    milk         he has

He has fresh milk.
A-tse-hi   u-nv-di   hu-ne-ha           Formal
A-tse      u-nv-d    hu-ne-ha           Conversational
Fresh      milk       he has

Note: (A-tse-hi) can also mean new or green.  In my last lesson I used
(I-tse-hi) these are interchangeable and I have noticed that more people
>from the Giduwa area use (a-tse-hi).

Practice using these sentences and substituting other objects that would
work in this category.  Tomorrow we will tackle another category.
