In this unit you will learn to conjugate the verb kani <\/em>(to be) in the singular and plural forms, and in the present, past, and future. For this, we will keep in mind the personal pronouns that we learned in the previous unit and the following grammatical structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Carmen
<\/em>\u00d1uqa Carmen kani
(I) (Carmen) (am) (literally)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is a professor
<\/em>Pay yachachiq kan
(She) (professor) (is) (literally)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are students
<\/em>Paykuna yachaqkuna kanku
(They) (students) (are) (literally)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will look at the following graph with verb conjugations with the personal pronouns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am<\/td>\u00d1uqa kani<\/td><\/tr>
You are (singular)<\/td>Qan kanki<\/td><\/tr>
She\/He\/It<\/td>Pay kan<\/td><\/tr>
We (inclusive)<\/td>\u00d1uqanchis kanchis<\/td><\/tr>
We (exclusive)<\/td>\u00d1uqayku kayku<\/td><\/tr>
You (plural)<\/td>Qankuna kankichis<\/td><\/tr>
They<\/td>Paykuna kanku<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you noted, each personal pronoun and its verb conjugation has a different ending, we will see what they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/td>\u00d1uqa verb+ni<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
You (singular)<\/td>Qan verb+nki<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
She\/He\/It<\/td>Pay verb+n<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
We (inclusive)<\/td>\u00d1uqanchis verb+nchis<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
We (exclusive)<\/td>\u00d1uqayku verb+yku<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

They<\/td>Paykuna verb+nku<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now we will conjugate the verb yachachiy<\/em> to teach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1uqa yachachi-ni   <\/strong><\/td>I teach<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Qan yachachi-nki  <\/strong><\/td>You teach<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Pay yachachi-n<\/strong><\/td>She, he teaches<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqanchis yachachi-nchis<\/strong><\/td>We taught (inclusive)<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqayku yachachi-yku<\/strong><\/td>We taught (exclusive)<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Qankuna yachachi-nkichis<\/strong><\/td>You (plural) teach<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Paykuna yachachi-nku<\/strong><\/td>They teach<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> For a better understanding we will use the dashes (-) as separators of a word and its suffixes, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/strong><\/td>I teach<\/td><\/tr>
I<\/strong><\/td>yachachini<\/td><\/tr>
I<\/strong><\/td>yachachi-ni<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
(subject)<\/strong><\/td>(verb)
(ni <\/strong>is the 1st person marker who does the action).<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind the explanation of inclusive and exclusive when conjugating the pronoun we<\/em> in the two forms \u00d1uqanchis <\/em>(I) y \u00d1uqayku (E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusive (I):<\/strong> You are including yourself in the group, and also including the group that you are addressing.
Exclusive (E):<\/strong> You are including yourself in the group, but you are not including the group you are addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's look at more examples: now let's try with the verb llanka\u2019y<\/em> \u2013 to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1uqa llank\u2019a-ni  <\/strong><\/td>I work<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Qan llank\u2019a-nki<\/strong><\/td>You work<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Pay llank\u2019a-n<\/strong><\/td>She, he works<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqanchis llank\u2019a-nchis<\/strong><\/td>We worked (Inclusive)<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqayku llank\u2019a-yku<\/strong><\/td>We worked (exclusive)<\/em><\/td><\/tr>
Qankuna llank\u2019a-nkichis<\/strong><\/td>You (plural) worked<\/em><\/td><\/tr>

Now we will put what we have learned in this unit into practice. Remember the verbal markers (ni, nki, n, nchis, yku, nkichis, nku), keep in mind the following structure that we have learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1uqa   yachachini<\/strong> \/ I teach
\u00d1uqa yachachi-ni
<\/strong>(subject) (verb) (ni <\/strong>is the 1st person marker who does the action).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qan yachachi-nki<\/strong> \/ you teach
(subject) (verb) (nki <\/strong>is the marker of the second person that does the action).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you try. Write 4 sentences using the verbal markers of your choosing with the following verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puriy = to walk, tusuy = to dance, takiy = to sing, wayk\u2019uy = to cook<\/p>\n\n\n\n
