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 echoesMinop
