In this unit you will learn how to introduce yourself to others and create and respond to basic questions in a conversation. For this, we will continue to work with the personal pronouns, in this case the simple present of the first person \u00f1uqa\/\u00f1oqa, <\/em>the verb with the corresponding person markerni,<\/em><\/strong> and second person marker qan\/qam, <\/em>the verb with the corresponding person markernki<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> For a better understanding and explanation we are using the dash (-) as a separator of the word and the suffix, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1oqa Maria ka-ni<\/strong> (In this case the suffix ni <\/em><\/strong>marks the action that corresponds to the first person).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qan Valentin kanki (in this case the suffix nki <\/em><\/strong>marks the action that corresponds to the second person).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sentence I am Maria<\/em> is structured in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/td>Maria<\/td>kani<\/td><\/tr>
(I)<\/td>(Maria)<\/td> (am)<\/td><\/tr>
1st Person<\/em><\/td>Subject<\/em><\/td>Verb<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sentence I live in Texas <\/em>is structured in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/td>Texaspi<\/strong><\/td>tiyani<\/td><\/tr>
(I)<\/td>(in Texas)<\/td>(live)<\/td><\/tr>
1st Person<\/em><\/td> Indicates place<\/em><\/td>Verb<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sentence You are Maria<\/em> is structured in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You<\/td>Maria <\/td>kanki<\/td><\/tr>
(You)<\/td>(Maria)<\/td>(are)<\/td><\/tr>
2nd Person<\/em><\/td>Subject<\/em><\/td>Verb<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sentence You live in Texas <\/em>is structured in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You<\/td>Texaspi<\/strong><\/td>tiyanki<\/td><\/tr>
(You)<\/td>(in Texas)<\/td>(live)<\/td><\/tr>
1st Person<\/em><\/td>Indicates place<\/em><\/td>Verb<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Remember that the locative pi <\/em>refers to place, next, some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lima-pi<\/strong> <\/td>In Lima<\/td><\/tr>
Limapi tiya-ni<\/strong><\/td>I live in Lima<\/td><\/tr>
Limapi tiya-nki<\/strong><\/td>You live in Lima<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Qosqo-pi<\/strong>  <\/td>In Cusco<\/td><\/tr>
Qosqopi tiya-ni<\/strong> <\/td>I live in Cusco<\/td><\/tr>
Qosqopi tiya-nki<\/strong><\/td>You live in Cusco<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
California-pi<\/strong><\/td>In California<\/td><\/tr>
Californiapi-ni<\/strong><\/td>In California<\/td><\/tr>
California tiya-nki<\/strong><\/td>You live in Lima<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this section we will also learn the assertive markers n (<\/strong>in words that end in a vowel), taq (<\/strong>in questions) <\/strong>and mi (<\/strong>in words that end in a consonant) <\/strong>that are used to put emphasis on an expression, and the accusative marker ta <\/strong>that is used for the direct object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For questions that begin with \"Ima\" which means \"what\" the emphasis or interest in the question is given in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ima <\/td>little emphasis<\/td><\/tr>
Iman<\/strong><\/td>more emphasis<\/td><\/tr>
Imataq<\/strong><\/td>most emphasis<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a conversation where we introduce ourselves to someone, generally we include information about our name, origin, profession, and others. In some conversations we also describe our daily activities. For this we have the following interrogative words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfIma?<\/td>What?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfImayna?<\/td>How?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfMay?<\/td>Where?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfHayk\u2019aq?<\/td>When?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfIma<\/strong> sutiyki? <\/td>What is your name?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfImayna<\/strong> llaqtayki?<\/td>What is your town like?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfMay<\/strong>manta kanki?<\/td>Where are you from?<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfHayk\u2019aq<\/strong> hamunki?<\/td>When do you sell?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Ima sitiyki<\/td>What is your name?<\/td>(little emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
Iman sutiyki<\/strong><\/td>What is your name?<\/td>(more emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
Imataq<\/strong> sutiyki<\/td>What is your name?<\/td>(most emphasis)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfImayna<\/strong> llaqtayki?<\/td>What is your town like?<\/td>(little emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfImayna-n<\/strong> llaqtayki?<\/td>What is your town like?<\/td>(more emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfImayna-taq<\/strong> llaqtayki?<\/td>What is your town like?<\/td>(most emphasis)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfMay<\/strong>manta kanki?<\/td>Where are you from?<\/td>(little emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfMay<\/strong>manta-n kanki?<\/td>Where are you from?<\/td>(more emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfMay<\/strong>manta-taq kanki? <\/td>Where are you from?<\/td>(most emphasis)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfHayk\u2019aq<\/strong> hamunki?<\/td>When do you sell?<\/td>(little emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfHayk\u2019aq-mi<\/strong> hamunki?<\/td>When do you sell?<\/td>(more emphasis)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00bfHayk\u2019aq-taq<\/strong> hamunki?<\/td>When do you sell?<\/td>(most emphasis)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we want to use the most emphasis in questions or responses, we should use the assertive markers taq, n, mi, <\/strong>next, we will describe the use of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAQ: <\/strong>Is a euphonic particle of courtesy or to show interest (it is generally used when a person is very interested in something).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:
To put emphasis on the questionIma<\/strong> sutiyki? What is your name?<\/em> we should add the particle taq <\/strong>to the interrogative word Ima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imataq<\/strong> sutiyki (taq<\/strong> puts more emphasis in knowing what the person's name is).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N, MI:<\/strong> Are assertive euphonic markers that are used in responses to questions. These responses show interest, conviction to mention something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:
Before in the question \u00bfIma-n sutiyki? emphasis is placed on the response in the following way:
Sutiy Jorge My name is Jorge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put more emphasis we should add the marker mi<\/strong>.
Sutiymi <\/strong>Jorge (mi<\/strong> puts more emphasis on the response).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TA:<\/strong> Is an accusative marker that works with direct objects and is used with transitive verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the action of Wallpa wayk\u2019uni I cook chicken<\/em> we should add the marker ta<\/strong>.
\u00d1uqa wallpata <\/strong>wayk\u2019uni (ta <\/strong>signals the direct object, in this case the action of cooking chicken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qan wallpa-ta wayk\u2019unki
\u00d1uqa papa-ta allani
Qan papa-ta allanki<\/p>\n\n\n\n
