navi1-7 Exercise 1: Three Orders ================================= Oel ngati kameie. I see you. (agent, object, verb) Ngati oel kameie. I see you. (object first) Oel kameie ngati. I see you. (object last) All three mean the same because the endings do the work: oel -l = the one doing the seeing ngati -ti = the one being seen If -ti is left off (ngat), the word has no object ending and a listener may read it as a plain subject, so the roles become unclear. (Check the reference grammar for the short form ngat before using it.) Beginner order: Oel ngati kameie, agent then object then verb. It is the most common order and the easiest to read.
