Pronouns 1

We've looked a lot at the subject concords in Giriama, saying they were similar to English pronouns. Now we finally get to real Giriama pronouns.

Copula 3: being something

In this previous post, we looked at how to say "I am [somewhere]", "I am at". In this post, we will look at how to say "I am [something]", "I am".

Counting 2: ordinal numbers

In this post, we look at how to say first, second, third, etc.

Copula 2: to have

Have in Giriama is literally be with.

Nouns: Class 3 and 4

In this post, we will put together some full sentences involving mu/mi nouns, like mwezi  and mwaka.

Counting 1: months and years

We've seen the numbers in Giriama before, but because Giriama has noun classes, the numbers change depending on what you are counting.

In this post, we look at counting miezi, months and miaka, years, which are from Class 4: mi-. (Class 3, mu-, in the singular: mwezi and mwaka.)

Tenses 4: á, the distant past

We have looked at -dza-, the tense used for things which happened today. In this post, we will look at -a-, the tense used for things which happened longer ago.
