1896: A sentence a day on a single topic, Part 6

From Kamloops Wawa #142 (July 1896), page 155, one of the most vivid reading lessons I could possibly show you…

(A link to all posts in this mini-series.)

Rules:

  • I won’t do a lot of explaining.
  • You don’t have to be able to read the Chinuk Pipa original text, but I’ll show it to you. You can learn to read it as your Chinook Jargon gets stronger & stronger.
  • Learn this:

Pi wiht iht man iaka pu ukuk tanas
‘And then another man shot that young guy,’

man, pi iaka mimlus; kakwa mokst man mimlus iht son.
‘who died; so two men died in a day.’

ikta mayka chaku-kəmtəks?
Ikta maika chako-kumtuks?
What have you learned?
And can you say it in Jargon?
