When they looked down into the water, sometimes they saw a sturgeon. Then they speared the sturgeon. Once, one guy was heard saying: “Oo, look at how this sturgeon looks! He has horns like a moose, he has horns like him. [2] So they all came in their canoes to see how he looked. “It really does have horns!” they said. “So it's a sacred sturgeon!” [3] So then they smoked, and put tobacco on the water. After they smoked they went their separate ways.[4] Then another canoe of people went out, and again they saw him. Then, taking his spear, the man speared the sturgeon. [5] After he brought it up from the water, he saw a bald eagle clinging to the sturgeon's head. Then all the people had a big laugh.

S01 E09 B-Form Singular and PluralB-form or Dependent form (also known as Conjunct) is a useful way in Ojibwe to make more complex ideas, where one word in your sentence is dependent on something else to make a complete thought. This is achieved in VII's by either getting rid of the d at the end of the verb, or adding a g. Note that this is the same for singular and plural.So: Aabadad: Aabadad+k Aabadak: When/as it is used… Zoogipon: Zoogipon+g Zoogipong: When it is snowing…Gisinaa: Gisinaa+g Gisinaag: When it is cold…Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyMichaa: vii It is big.Giizhiitaa: vii it is done, it is readyOnizhishin: vii it is niceWese'an: vii There is a tornadoNoodin: vii It is windyGashkawan: vii there is a thick fogBiinad: vii it is cleanNiiskaadad: vii there is bad weatherMinose: vii it goes well, it is good luckBaswewe: vii it echoesMinopogwad: vii it tastes goodGikendaagwad: vii it is knownMinomaagwad: vii It smells GoodAanakwad: vii it is cloudyZoogipo: vii it is snowingMizhakwad: vii the sky is clearAabawaa: vii it is warm weatherNew Words this week:Aabadad: vii it is usedMaajiitaamagad: vii it startsBangan: vii it is peaceful ,it is tranquilZanagad: vii it is difficultBadakide: vii it is planted, it is placed in the ground, it stands up from a surface.Quiz:Aaniin ekidong Gisinaag daa-zoogipo Zhaaganashiimowin?

S01 E08 A- Form Conjugation refresherHere is a link to a google doc I have made for the class so far that you can download and open on your own:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XS4qAEe9A-nKgUyi74q_FSu6zckXtvZY9exnEnG025w/edit?usp=sharing For quick reference to all these Conjugations I have always found the Table at the Back of the Articles of Oshkaabewis Native journal to be helpful.I make one for myself omitting an example word, and just having the conjugation components. For you though, especially as you are learning you may find the example word as very important to your learning process.This table doesn't translate well to the show notes, you can download from the google doc on the notes above:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XS4qAEe9A-nKgUyi74q_FSu6zckXtvZY9exnEnG025w/edit?usp=sharing | VII Ending with a Vowel | VII Ending with a D | VII Ending with an NA Form Singular | VII | VII | VIIA Form Plural | VII + Wan | VII +oon | VII + oonA Form Negative Singular | Gaawiin VII+Sinoon | Gaawiin VII-d+Sinoon | Gaawiin VII+zinoonA Form Negative Plural | Gaawiin VII+sinoonin | Gaawiin VII-d+sinoonin | Gaawiin VII+zinooninRemember you can use Any Tense prefixes with all of these conjugationsGii- Past tense (triggers Initial Consonant Change) Gii-kisinaamagad (It was cold)Wii- will/want to future tense (triggers Initial Consonant Change) Wii-kimiwan (It will rain)Daa- Should would Could Future tence. Daa-waaseyaa (It should be sunny)Da- Shall future tense. Da-giizhiitaa (It shall be finished).Gii- and Wii- both cause Initial consonant change.

S01 E07 Tenses Gii, Wii, Da, DaaTo change the time an event takes place with VIIs (and all other verb groups) add prefixes to the verb. Gii-, Wii-, da-, daa-.Gii- is the past tense prefix. Ate (it is in a certain place) becomes Gii-ate (It was in a certain place)Wii- is the desiritive future tense, translated as will or want to, so:Waaseyaamagad (it is sunny) becomes Wii-waaseyaamagad (it will be sunny)Da- is the future tense marker in the even is certain to happen so:Gisinaamagad (it is cold) becomes Da-gisinaamagad (it shall be cold)Daa- is the tense marker for future things that could would or should happen so:Gimiwan (it is raining) becomes Daa-gimiwan (It could rain).Initial Consonant Change Chart from Gii- and Wii-b | —> | pd | —> | tg | —> | kj | —> | chz | —> | sB→P so: Gii-piinad from Biinad: vii it is clean to It was clean.D→T so: Wii-tazhishin from dazhishin: vii it is in a certain place to it will be in a certain placeG→K so: Wii-kikendaagwad From Gikendaagwad (it is known) to It will be known.J→ Ch so: Gii-chaagide from jaagide: vii It is burned up.

S01 E06 Yes or No Questions Na InaTo make a yes or no question add na or ina as the second word in your sentence. I tend to use ina if the proceeding word ended in a consonant, and na if it ended in a vowel, but you don't have to worry about that. Some speakers only ever say na, and some always say ina. So: Gimiwan ina? Is it raining?Noodin ina? Is it windy?Waaseayaa na? Is it sunny?You can respond with Eya' or enh to say yes, and Gaawiin (followed by our conjugations for negative statements).VIIs this episode:Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyMichaa: vii It is big.Giizhiitaa: vii it is done, it is readyOnzhishin: vii it is niceWese'an: vii There is a tornadoNoodin: vii It is windyGashkawan: vii there is a thick fogBiinad: vii it is cleanNiiskaadad: vii there is bad weatherMinose: vii it goes well, it is good luckBaswewe: vii it echoesMinopogwad: vii it tastes goodGikendaagwad: vii it is knownNew words this week:Minomaagwad: vii It smells GoodAanakwad: vii it is cloudyExamples:Minomaagwad ina i'iw miijim?

Episode 4: Negation Gaawiin —-sinoon -zinoon This week we begin negating VIIS!There are very slight differences technically to how we conjugate these verbs based on the ending of their root form. The three endings are Vowel endings, N Endings and D endings. All three begin with a Gaawiin though:If the VII Ends in an N, Begin with a gaawiin, then the verb and add zinoon to the end of it.So Onzhishin (It is nice) becomes Gaawiin Onzhishinzinoon (It is not nice)If the VII Ends with a D, Begin with a Gaawiin, subtract the d from the end of the verb and add sinoon.So Biinad (it is clean) become Gaawiin biinasinoon (It is not clean).If the VII ends with a vowel, Begin with Gaawiin then the verb, then add sinoon.So Michaa (it is big) becomes Gaawiin Michaasinoon (It is not big)VIIs this episode:Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyMichaa: vii It is big.Giizhiitaa: vii it is done, it is readyOnzhishin: vii it is niceWese'an: vii There is a tornadoNew Words this episode:Noodin: vii It is windyGashkawan: vii there is a thick fogBiinad: vii it is cleanNiiskaadad: vii there is bad weatherMinose: vii it goes well, it is good luckBaswewe: vii it echoesExamples in the Text:Gaawiin biinasinoon jiibaakwewigamig: The kitchen isn't cleanGaawiin niiskaadasinoon Bemijigamaag noongom: There's no Bad weather in Bemidji today.Gaawiin minosesinoon ji-waabamind gookooko'oo: It is not good luck to see an owl.Gaawiin Baswewesinoon.

Episode 03: VII pluralizationIf a VII ends in a vowel, to pluralize it add -wan, so Ate (It is in a certain place) becomes Atewan (they are in a certain place).If a VII ends in a consonant, to pluralize it add -oon to the end of the verb to pluralize it, so Agoodemagad (it is hanging) becomes Agoodemagadoon (they are hanging).VII's Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyNew Words:Michaa: vii It is big.Giizhiitaa: vii it is done, it is readyOnzhishin: vii it is niceWese'an: vii There is a tornadoExamples from the Reading:Michaa + wan = Michaawan: they are bigMichaawan mazina'iganan= The books are big.Giizhiitaa + wan = Giizhiitaawan They are ready/finishedGiizhiitaawan gimakizinian: Your Moccasins are readyQuiz:Aaniin ekidong Michaamagad zhaganashiimowin?

Magad can be added to the end of a Verb that is Animate and Intransitive (VAI) into a verb that is Intranistive and Inanimate (VII).Which is to say it makes a verb that would be about an animate object about an inanimate object.So Wiisinii: vai wiin is eating becomesWiisiniimagad: vii it is eatingYou can find the thread of discussion on this link from the Ojibwe Language Table facebook group:https://tinyurl.com/Ojibwemagad Here is a link to Charles Lippert's excellent online dictionary:https://www.freelang.net/online/ojibwe.php

Episode Two: VII Extension -magadThis week's episode doesn't exactly cover a "Conjugation" but an extension. VIIs which end in a vowel can be said as is, or with magad added to the ending, which does not change the meaning of the word at all. It only elongates it. So: Gisinaa becomes Gisinaamagad and they both mean it is cold. VIIs Covered in this Episode:Refresher Words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldGisinaamagad vii: it is ColdAte vii: It is in a certain placeAtemagad vii: it is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingNew Words:Awanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAwanibiisaamagad vii it is sprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingAgoodemagad vii : It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyWaaseyaamagad vii : It is sunnyQuiz: Aaniin Ekidong Zhaganashiimowin: How do you say it in English?Aaniin Ekidong Ojibwemowin: How do you say it in Ojibwe?Question 1: Aaniin Ekidong Zhaganashiimowin Agoodemagad?
