Lesson 15 (To Speak/Talk ܡܲܚܟܘܿܝܸܐ - progressive, future), To Leave ܫܘܵܩܲܐ (past, imperative)

VERB: TO SPEAK/TO TALK
ROOT: ma ḥ-koyi (ܡܲܚܟܘܿܝܸܐ)
TENSE: PROGRESSIVE

**Note** the ḥ is pronounced as a hard, guttoral h. Almost like the kh sound.

I (m) am speaking: ee-win ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-win
I (f) am talking: ee-wan ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-wan

You (m) are speaking: ee-wit ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-wit
You (f) are talking: ee-wat ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-wat

He is speaking: ee-lih ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-lih
She is talking: ee-lah ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-lah

We are speaking: ee-wukh ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-wukh
Ye/Y'all are talking: ee-wotun ma ḥ-ko-yi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-wotun
They are speaking: ee-lay ma ḥ-koyi (yen) ma ḥ-ko-ye-lay

Note: This tense is actually the verb "to be" conjugated along with the infinitive for "to speak". "You are + to talk = you talk" This is slightly different from English or Spanish, where progressive words have different endings than infinitive forms.
