You Folks in Halq'eméylem
Halq'eméylem has a special ending for talking about you when addressing two or more people - chap. The closest translation for this ending into English is you guys or you folks. It patterns in the same way as -tsel, -chexw, and -tset.
Examples: (here comparing it with -chexw)
Chexw ímex. - You walked. [Appears at start for actions in the past]
Chap ímex. - You folks walked. [Appears at start for actions in the past]
Ímexchexw. - You walk. [Attaches to verb for actions in present]
Ímexchap. - You folks walk. [Attaches to verb for actions in present]
Líchexw ímex? - Do you walk? [Attaches to lí in yes/no questions]
Líchap ímex? - Do you folks walk? [Attaches to lí in yes/no questions]
When addressing two or more people, try to always use -chap rather than -chexw.
We in Halq'eméylem
We in Halq'eméylem is most commonly expressed by the ending -tset. The word-order of sentences with -tset is exactly parallel to that for sentences with -tsel (or -chexw).
Examples:
Tsel ímex. - I walked. [Tsel appears at start for actions in past]
Tset ímex. - We walked. [Tset also appears at start for actions in past]
Ímextsel. - I walk. [Tsel attaches to end of verb for actions in the present]
Ímextset. - We walk. [Tset also attaches to end of verb for actions in the present.]
Lítsel ímex? - Do/Did I walk? [Attaches to lí in yes/no questions]
Lítset ímex? - Do/Did we walk? [Also attaches to lí in yes/no questions]
You will recall that the word for our in Halq'eméylem is also an ending, -tset (e.g. our house = te lá:lémtset). However, that use of -tset is a different ending.
When you see the -tset ending, at this stage it will be useful to sometimes think for a moment about whether it means we or our, in the context.
