Text Box: VERBS   The Potawatomi language is largely verb based.  Many words that English speakers would consider to be adjectives or adverbs often comprise the main verb in the sentence.  For example, “Gzéges ne?”, asking “Are you frightened?” describes a state of being frightened.  Also, many nouns can instantly become verbs in a sentence with the addition of the proper prefix or suffix.  For example, “Odan” is the noun for Town, but “Gwi odankémen” means “We are going to town.”   The following are pages on particular verbs and their usage:     Wjanda—To Cook   Bmose—To Walk   Bamsemen—To Walk Around   Bos--To Ride   Boston—To Load or To Mail   Bye—To Come   Zhya—To Go   Odanké - To Go to Town   Byenen—Hand Me, Mishen—Give Me, Byedweshen—Bring Me   Weather Terms   Winter Words   Colors   Character Traits, Emotions, and Feelings Home APWAD Penojék Kigdowen Language Store Online Class Neaseno Links
