Deductions & Making Educated Guesses
What if you don't personally experience something, but you have a guess on what is going on? We use deductions!
Discussing Things You've Heard About
If you learned information from hearing about it or seeing it on social media or the news, you have to talk about it differently than if you experienced it yourself. This is called Non-Experiential!
Sharing Recipes
In Mvskoke, we don't use commands to share recipes with others, but its own special form. This lesson talks about how to share steps in a recipe with others.
Discussing Food Preferences
This lesson talks about concepts that allows us to talk more in-depth about our preferences in general. It covers comparisons, past experience, 'because', and 'too much'/'not much' in the language.
Higher Level Commands
By now, you know Makvs, Makvks, Makekot, and Makvkes, but there are so many more ways to express commands in Mvskoke--including harsher ways and softer ways.
