Lesson 3

So far, we know of one Naucan verb, 'sām', which is the present tense of the verb 'satu' ("to be"). In Naucan, all verbs in the present tense end in -m (if the root ends in a vowel) or -am (if the root ends in a consonant). There are some irregular verbs (like the verb 'satu'), but for now we will try with regular verbs. The verb usually goes first.

• Doram tapi. - The kid plays.

• Geram yaru. - The dog barks.

• Tarim mira. - The woman dances.
