Exercise 0.5xx: Strengthening of lexicon

Consolidation where you ideally will practice all the stems you know together with all the affixes and inflectional endings you know to learn all the sound rules by heart. Listen closely to the sentences and make sure that you understand them fully without reading the answer. Sentences with transitive verbs need extra attention. Make sure not to jump to wrong conclusions about who (subject) does what to whom (object). In Lene eqqaamavara (I remember Lene) Lene is not the subject. The subject is 1Sg (I).

In order to present as much material as possible as we do it here in sentences out of context a few of the examples inevitably will turn out a bit hard to understand.

As an example the following needs a bit of context to be fully understandable, for instance a situation where the Arnannguaq in question is one person out of a group we hardly know the names of: Arnannguusoq ippassaq Aasiammiumi ilinniartitsisoqarusuppoq. (The one who is Arnannguaq wanted a teacher at the Aasiaat guy’s place yesterday).

Still, very few examples are as complicated as this example so you can just get going with listening, understanding and repeating a large number of sentences.

Ex:
Paamiormiumut aallassagaluarpugut. (We actully should have left for the one from Paamiut.)
