Whenever: -gaanga-

-gaangama means "whenever I", and -gaangat "whenever he, she, it". Like the endings of "because", they change their first sound with the stem: after a vowel it is -gaanga-, after r it is -raanga- in place of the r (ilinniarpoq "studies" gives ilinniaraangama "whenever I study"), and after other consonants -kkaanga-. The main verb usually takes -tar- "usually", because it speaks of something that happens again and again.

• Ilinniaraangama assut qasulertarpunga.

  Whenever I study, I get very tired. (ilinniar- + -aangama)

• Unnukkaangat ullorissat nuisarput.

  When the evening comes, the stars usually appear. (unnu- "become evening" + -kkaangat)
