1)DOQ SEN.‘I went home.’
2)YÁ¸ SEN DOQ.‘I went home.’
3)JÁṈ¸ SEN.‘I got home.’
4)EN¸Á SEN JÁṈ.‘I came home.’
5)O¸MET SEN.‘I am at home.’
6)ÁȽE SEN O¸MET.‘I am here at home.’
7)SḴILEṈ SEN.‘I went outside.’
8)YÁ¸ SEN SḴILEṈ.‘I went outside.’
9)NU¸ILEṈ SEN.‘I went inside.’
10)YÁ¸ SEN NU¸ILEṈ. ‘I went inside.’
‣ 1 The SENĆOŦEN word for ‘house’ or ‘home’ is Á¸LEṈ, but there are two special words used for talking about going home: DOQ ‘go home’ or ‘come home’ and JÁṈ¸ ‘arrive home’ or ‘get home.’
‣ 2 Just as with the ‘go’ and ‘come’ words shown in §26.1, DOQ and JÁṈ¸ are often accompanied by YÁ¸ ‘go’ and EN¸Á ‘come.’
‣ 3 The English translations in the models use present tense or past tense, but remember that tense marking in SENĆOŦEN is not required. each could be changed, and the SENĆOŦEN would be the same. Model 1, for example, could be translated ‘I go home’ or ‘I’ll go home’ or ‘I’m going home.’ The same is true for most of these other models.
‣ 4 JÁṈ¸ in model 4 is translated ‘come’ home because the first verb in the sentence is EN¸Á ‘come.’ Here this cannot be translated ‘I’m coming home’ because JÁṈ¸ refers only to the result of coming home, arrival at home.
‣ 5 The word O¸MET, shown in models 5 and 6 has two meanings. In these models it is translated ‘at home.’ Depending on the context, it could also mean ‘sitting.’ And model 7 could also be translated ‘I am sitting.’
‣ 6 The word SḴILEṈ, shown in model 7 and 8, can mean ‘go outside’ or ‘come outside.’ NU¸ILEṈ, shown in models 9 and 10, can mean ‘go inside’ or ‘come inside.’
‣ 7 There are many verbs in SENĆOŦEN that, like SḴILEṈ ‘go out’ or NU¸ILEṈ ‘go in,’ include the notion ‘go.’ These are called directed motion verbs because they indicate both ‘going’ and the direction of motion. Another useful example is DÁȻEL ‘go across.’
