-sori-: Think That It Is

Alexander StebnerCreator of Lingora · Updated 14 October 20262 min readComments

-sori- means "think that he, she, it is …": the person or thing thought about is the object. It usually follows -u- "be", and it takes the short object endings, which have no v: -soraakkit "I think you are", -soraakka "I think they are".

  • Tissinarputit. Tissinartuusoraakkit.

    You are funny. I think you are funny. (tissinartoq "funny one" + -u- + -soraakkit)

  • Ilumut? Assut oqallorittuusoraakkit.

    Really? I think you speak it very well.

  • Frugtiusoraakka.

    I think they are fruit. (frugti + -u- + -soraakka)
