Explain the difference between these two command sentences:

Hint: Ozhibii’igetamaw = Write it for h/

  1. Ozhibii’igetamaw.
  2. Mii-go izhi’ozhibii’igetamaw.

Why are there no action signs?

A

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.
