1896: A sentence a day on a single topic, Part 43

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:

Iaka itluil chako kakwa paia
‘His body gets sort of on fire’

kopa wiski.
‘for whiskey.’

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