Kw'as
The Halq'eméylem word kw'as usually means that you. Some examples of how kw'as is used to form sentences are shown in (1).
(1) (a) Skw'á:y kw'as lám.
impossible that you go
= It is impossible that you go.
(b) Éy kw'as lám.
Good that you go
=It is good that you go.
Similar to what we discussed with kw'els, kw'as can sometimes also be translated as if you (for example, Li iyólem kw'as lám? = Is it okay if you go?)
Kw'els
The Halq'eméylem word kw'els usually means that I. Some examples of how kw'els is used to form sentences are shown in (1).
(1) (a) Skw'á:y kw'els lám.
impossible that I go
= It is impossible that I go.
(b) Éy kw'els lám.
Good that I go
=It is good that I go.
In certain contexts it will sound more natural to translate kw'els as if I, and this is also a correct translation for kw'els. For example:
(2) (a) Lí iyólem kw'els lám?
Is-it okay that I go?
=It is okay if I go?
