Episode 10: S01 E10 B-Form Negation -sinok -zinok
January 31, 2022 00:00 - 14 minutes - 9.68 MBS01 E10 B-Form Negation -sinok -zinok In B form you don’t use a Gaawiin for negation, it is just built into the conjugation. There are slight differences between the 3 verb endings, but as usual their is a recognizable pattern:VII with Vowel Ending: Add sinok to endingAgoode: Agoode + sinok Agoodesinok: When they aren’t hanging…VII with D Ending: -d add sinok to endingNoondaagwad: Noondaagwa-d + sinok: Noondaagwasinok: When it isn’t heard…VII with an N Ending: add zinok to endingNood...
Episode 9: S01 E09 B-Form Singular and Plural
January 24, 2022 00:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBS01 E09 B-Form Singular and PluralB-form or Dependent form (also known as Conjunct) is a useful way in Ojibwe to make more complex ideas, where one word in your sentence is dependent on something else to make a complete thought. This is achieved in VII’s by either getting rid of the d at the end of the verb, or adding a g. Note that this is the same for singular and plural.So: Aabadad: Aabadad+k Aabadak: When/as it is used… Zoogipon: Zoogipon+g Zoogipong: When it is snowing…Gisinaa: ...

Episode 7: S01 E07 Tenses Gii, Wii, Da, Daa
January 17, 2022 00:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBS01 E07 Tenses Gii, Wii, Da, DaaTo change the time an event takes place with VIIs (and all other verb groups) add prefixes to the verb. Gii-, Wii-, da-, daa-. Gii- is the past tense prefix. Ate (it is in a certain place) becomes Gii-ate (It was in a certain place) Wii- is the desiritive future tense, translated as will or want to, so:Waaseyaamagad (it is sunny) becomes Wii-waaseyaamagad (it will be sunny) Da- is the future tense marker in the even is certain to happen so:Gisinaamagad...
Episode 6: S01 E06 Yes or No Questions Na Ina
January 10, 2022 00:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBS01 E06 Yes or No Questions Na Ina To make a yes or no question add na or ina as the second word in your sentence. I tend to use ina if the proceeding word ended in a consonant, and na if it ended in a vowel, but you don’t have to worry about that. Some speakers only ever say na, and some always say ina. So: Gimiwan ina? Is it raining?Noodin ina? Is it windy?Waaseayaa na? Is it sunny?You can respond with Eya’ or enh to say yes, and Gaawiin (followed by our conjugations for negative s...
Episode 5: S01 E05: VII Negation and Pluralization: Zinoonin sinoonin
January 03, 2022 00:00 - 14 minutes - 9.75 MBEpisode 05 VII Negation and Pluralization: Zinoonin sinoonin Pluralizing negatives with VIIs is simple, do everything as we did to negate it, and then add in to the end.So Michaa (It is big) becomes Gaawiin Michaasinoonin (they are not big).Agoodemagad (It is hanging) becomes Gaawiin Agoodemagasinoonin (They are not hanging)Onizhishin (It is nice) becomes Gaawiin Onizhishinzinoonin (They are not nice) VIIs this episode: Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certa...
Episode 4: Ojibwemodaa Podcast Season 01 Epiosde 04 VII Negation Gaawiin -sinoon -zinoon
December 27, 2021 00:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBEpisode 4: Negation Gaawiin —-sinoon -zinoon This week we begin negating VIIS!There are very slight differences technically to how we conjugate these verbs based on the ending of their root form. The three endings are Vowel endings, N Endings and D endings. All three begin with a Gaawiin though:If the VII Ends in an N, Begin with a gaawiin, then the verb and add zinoon to the end of it.So Onzhishin (It is nice) becomes Gaawiin Onzhishinzinoon (It is not nice)If the VII Ends with a D...
Episode 3: Ojibwemodaa Podcast: Season 01 Epiosde 03 VII Pluarlization -wan -oon
December 20, 2021 00:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBEpisode 03: VII pluralization If a VII ends in a vowel, to pluralize it add -wan, so Ate (It is in a certain place) becomes Atewan (they are in a certain place).If a VII ends in a consonant, to pluralize it add -oon to the end of the verb to pluralize it, so Agoodemagad (it is hanging) becomes Agoodemagadoon (they are hanging). VII’s Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is Sprin...
Episode 2: s01 E02.5 Magad Auxiliary powers
December 18, 2021 00:00 - 6 minutes - 4.26 MBMagad can be added to the end of a Verb that is Animate and Intransitive (VAI) into a verb that is Intranistive and Inanimate (VII).Which is to say it makes a verb that would be about an animate object about an inanimate object. So Wiisinii: vai wiin is eating becomesWiisiniimagad: vii it is eating You can find the thread of discussion on this link from the Ojibwe Language Table facebook group:https://tinyurl.com/Ojibwemagad Here is a link to Charles Lippert’s excellent online dict...
Episode 2: Ojibwemodaa Podcast: Season 01 Epiosde 02 VII Extension -magad
December 13, 2021 00:00 - 8 minutes - 6.09 MBEpisode Two: VII Extension -magad This week's episode doesn't exactly cover a "Conjugation" but an extension. VIIs which end in a vowel can be said as is, or with magad added to the ending, which does not change the meaning of the word at all. It only elongates it. So: Gisinaa becomes Gisinaamagad and they both mean it is cold. VIIs Covered in this Episode: Refresher Words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldGisinaamagad vii: it is ColdAte vii: It is in a certain placeAtemagad vii: it is in a c...
