Some Inner Workings

Possessive Suffixes

-na (should be a tilde above the "n" for a "nya" sound), -mu, -hu/ku

i kareta-na his/her car
i kareta-mu your car
i kareta-hu or i familia-ku my car or my family

I don't know the rule for -hu versus -ku. I guess it's usually "-hu" and only sometimes "-ku" but the lesson is they mean the same thing.

Also here are some random useful phrases:

Hayi enao? Who is that?
Si Captain Reynolds este. This is Captain Reynolds.

Mungi i siga? Where is the salt?
Gaigi gi cabinet. It is there in the cabinet. (I heard Bert say this.)

And a line from a J.D. Crutch song:

Estaba hao gi guinifi-hu. You were in my dream. (Were being you in dream-my)

This is fun! Fun, fun, fun!
