1896: A sentence a day on a single topic, Part 21

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:

Klaska komtaks, tanki wam kopa Kamlups, kansih
‘They know last year at Kamloops several’

tanas man chako patlam, pi iht tanas man
‘young guys got drunk and one of them

mimlus.
‘died.’

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