Uh-oh! We don't have this lesson in the Sheshatshiu dialect. It has been replaced with the Sheshatshiu dialect.
VAI or VII? Identify
Instructions
Is it an animate intransitive verb (VAI) or an inanimate intransitive verb (VII)? Hint: try to conjugate the verb in the first person. It works for the VAI, but not for the VII.
Examples: takau 'it is cold out', one cannot say: *nitakan 'I am cold out', so it is a VII; shikatshu 'he is cold', one can say: nishikatshin 'I am cold', so it is a VAI.
