This lesson is part of the Beginner Chamorro learning path.
In this lesson, you learn how to talk about actions that are happening right now in Chamorro — things like “I am staying,” “you are resting,” or “they are walking.” You’ll practice common action words and learn the patterns for describing what someone is doing in the present moment. By the end of the lesson, you can build simple sentences to talk about everyday actions as they happen. Happy studying!

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to talk about actions that already happened in Chamorro — things like “I walked,” “you rested,” or “they stayed.” You’ll practice common action words and learn the patterns used to describe past actions when someone is simply doing something, rather than doing something to someone else. By the end, you’ll be able to build simple past-tense sentences and start talking about what you or others did. Happy studying!

This lesson is part of the Beginner Chamorro learning path.
In this lesson, we’ll begin learning how to talk about actions that aren’t done to anyone or anything else—actions like standing, walking, or dancing. These are everyday activities that people simply do. To use these action words in Chamorro sentences, the word often needs to change form first. We’ll take a closer look at how these changes work and why they matter. Understanding these patterns will help you start forming action sentences with these words and will prepare you for many of the sentence patterns you’ll encounter later in the language. Happy studying!

Continuing on with the in-depth look at the man- prefix, this post explores the application of the man- prefix to intransitive verbs. I lay out my own way of understanding the application of the man- prefix to intransitive verbs.
