Lesson 5 Si da ne lv
Review: Remember that the prefix –a gi in the words we are learning about family denotes that the family member is “mine.” –Tsa tells us that the family member is “yours,” and –u identifies the family member as “his” or “hers.”
Also, recall that the prefix –tsi is talking about where I live, –hi is where you live, and –ga is where he or she lives.
