Menu 1. Reflexives 2. Future Tense <nomenu>
Standard Njapa has several overlapping interchangeable systems that make it a very versatile language to convey information. There are 2 main systems that have alternate systems:
  • Reflexives
  • Future Tense

[edit] [top]Reflexives

Reflexives are expressed using the REFLReflexive (valency)
argument acts on itself
case.
NominativeReflexive
migmige
derdere

This can also be accomplished by using reflexive pronouns or REFLReflexive (valency)
argument acts on itself
.PNPronoun
NominativeReflexive Pronoun
migmeg
derdeg

In stead of saying, werskor mig mige, you can omit the subject pronoun in this case only and say werskor meg.
[edit] [top]Future Tense

Future tense is expressed by using distinct conjugation endings. This article will use the Simple FTFuture tense (tense)
action occurring after the moment of speech
.1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I
. I will use järad as an example verb.
InfinitiveFTFuture tense (tense)
action occurring after the moment of speech
.1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I
järadbejärörg

This can also be accomplished using the FUTFuture (tense)
action occurring after the moment of speech
.PCPParticiple
adjectival form of a verb
of the verb and conjugating the verb wirad.
Infinitiveusing wirad
järadwer bejär

You will probably notice that this secondary system is derivative of German's use for werden.
