ho / ju / ʼe

Go, Come and Say

Level 1

Go, come and say change their root with the person.

How It Works

These three verbs are the only ones whose root changes with the person. The forms below are the ones to learn.

Person	go (ho)	come (ju)	say (ʼe)
I	aha	aju	haʼe
you (one person)	reho	reju	ere
he, she, they	oho	ou	heʼi
we (you and I)	jaha	jaju	jaʼe
we (not you)	roho	roju	roʼe
you all	peho	peju	peje

All three use the active markers. Add the usual endings to these forms: aháta “I will go”, rejúta “you will come”.

The “he or she” forms are also the “they” forms. Add hikuái after the verb when you want to make “they” clear.

Aha che rógape.
I go to my house.
Aha is the “I” form of ho “go”.
Moõpa reho?
Where are you going?
Reho is the “you” form of ho.
Marta ou koʼápe.
Marta comes here.
Ou is the “he or she” form of ju “come”.
Mbaʼe ere?
What did you say?
Ere is the “you” form of ʼe “say”.
Mávapa heʼi upéicha?
Who said that?
Heʼi is the “he or she” form of ʼe “say”, and upéicha means “like that”.
