Review Lesson 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.
ACTIVITY: Get with a partner and look at his/her family tree. Use the information about the prefixes above to talk to your partner about his/her family tree. For example, if your partner’s mother’s name is Meli, you would say, “Tsa tsi hi Me li du do a.” Write the statement that you say to your partner after you speak it, and then write a statement about your partner’s relative using the prefix for his/her relative. After you have done this for your partner’s family tree, switch roles and have your partner do the same using your family tree.
Next, take turns asking each other where each family member on the family tree lives and record the information you obtained about the family member (example: You ask, “Ga tsv ga ne la tsa tsi hi?” Your partner responds, “A gi tsi hi Wa yo hi ga ne la.” You write down, “U tsi hi Wa yo hi ga ne la.”)
