Simple Sentences with Nouns
The basic Halq'eméylem word-order for simple sentences with nouns is to put the verb first, then the noun. For example:
(1) (a) Ímex te swíyeqe.
Walks the man. = The man walks.
(b) Hóqwem te slhóp'.
Smells the soup = The soup smells
Actions Directed to Others, vs. Actions Done Alone
In terms of verb endings, Halq'eméylem makes a clear distinction between two different kinds of verbs:
(2) (a) Verbs where the action or state is done alone, not acting on or reacting to someone else.
(b) Verbs where a doer (subject) is acting on something (or someone) else.
English often uses the same verb for both (a)-type and (b)-type actions. But Halq'eméylem is quite different. Halq'eméylem will use different forms of the verb depending on whether the action is (a)-type or (b)-type. Some examples illustrating this are shown below.
(3) (a) Tsel ímex. I walked. [Action is done alone]
(b) Tsel ímexstexw te sqwemá:y. I walked the dog. [Action is done to something else,
i.e. the dog].
Notice how the Halq'eméylem verb has different endings (ímex vs. ímexstexw, hóqwem vs. hóqwlexw) depending on whether the action is done alone vs. when the action is directed towards something (or someone) else. This is very common, in Halq'eméylem.
The endings -lexw, -stexw, -et, and -ex, (each of which has its own particular meaning, to be discussed later) usually appear on verbs where the actions are directed towards someone or something else. Verbs that are
not
directed towards another person or object often have no ending; they can also have an -em ending, among others.
