Perfect |
Perfect is expressed by making
use of the auxiliary yot or duk. The suffix -se
occurs with the main verb whenever one of these auxiliaries is
used. Perfect aspect may be characterised as expressing the
completion of an action in the past. But in the present, the
action is completed but its domain is extended into the
present (Krishnamurthi (1969:308)).
|
yot occurs whenever the
subjecdt noun phrase is first person. If the subject noun
phrase is either second person or third person, then the
auxiliary duk is used (Refer to 3.2.2.2.1.). The
present tense is unmarked and -pin and -tuk occur as
the past and future tense markers.
