We've been reviewing some of our Lavukaleve verbs with homemade cards to play games like Go Fish and matching.
.jpg)
I thought maybe some of you might like to play along with us.

Leave a comment (or send me an e-mail) with your suggested matches,

and whoever gets the most will get a Solomon Island woven bag in the mail.

I'll pick one to fit the winner's personality.

The hypens on either side of the verb root hold the place of the many, many affixes we can attach to verbs in Lavukaleve.

Prefixes can include singular, dual, plural, feminine, masculine, and neuter markers, to name a few. Suffixes can include so many things, but we're focusing on tense markers as we review.

Happy matching!

Wait! Just noticed the up arrows in the tree picture - so, although our guess remains the same, we want to change the action to uprooting or digging up or reaping!

I...can't even do this. Impressed that others can. My brain doesn't learn this way! Sorry. (Liss)
I gave up after seeing the picture of hot dogs attached to shooting stars...or whatever that was...
Here goes...I would not be able to communicate in any other language than my native tongue.
fulu - to pluck (boy with branch)
hatari - to cook
lau - to sweep
kwi - to cut
Email headed your way this week. You didn't know my email was just as slow as snail mail, did you? Glad to see all your posts. Nice to see all of you doing well:)
What a sweet idea!
I am currently learning an entirely different language, but this is a fun break :)
cut-kwi
uproot-hatari
sweep- lau
cook-fulu
Thinking of you often. Edi :)
Is it too late to guess? I'd forgotten! :o)
Okay, we choose:
cut-fulu
sweep-lau
cook-kwi
digging up a tree? not sure of the action but we choose: hatari
Emma did the guessing!
Love,
Margaret
