Pronunciation

• (Kautokeino) IPA^(key): /ˈij/

Verb

1. not

Usage notes

ii is a defective verb and is only inflected for person and the indicative and imperative moods. The main verb is inflected in the connegative form and contains information about tense and mood:

Son ii dieđe.

She does not know.

Son ii diehtán.

She did not know.

Son ii dieđáše.

She would not know.

When a sentence structure requires the verb to be in a different form (e.g. in the infinitive), the negator will be moved elsewhere:

Son lohká ahte son ii dieđe.

She says that she does not know.

Son ii loga iežas diehtit.

She says she does not know.

(literally, “She does not say herself to know.”)
