Explain the difference between these two command sentences:
Hint: Ozhibii’igetamaw = Write it for h/
- Ozhibii’igetamaw.
- Mii-go izhi’ozhibii’igetamaw.
Why are there no action signs?
1 is a command “Write it for her!” but 2 uses Mii-go izhi- as a “comman softener”
Go ahead and write it for her.
Commands don’t take action signs
How do these 4 sentences differ?
- Ozhibii’igetamaw! (Write it for h/)
- Mii-go izhi-ozhibii’igetamaw.
- Aaniin da ozhibii’igetamawaasiwad?

What keyaa is each in?
- Write it for h/! (Command)
- Go head and write it for her (Mii-go izhi+verb = “command softener”)
- Why don’t you write it for her? (Aaniin da + negative bkeyaa = indirect suggestion)

1: command, 2: command, 3: Bkeyaa, 4:Akeyaa
