In this lesson, we add a little more color to our sentences by describing our objects. We’ll learn how to say “I drank the hot coffee” instead of just “I drank the coffee.” In this post we will review how to make basic descriptions with the linking article na and learn how to use them in our basic action sentences that use transitive verbs.

In this lesson, we’re going one step further in how we describe people and things in Chamorro. So far, we’ve practiced sentences like “The student is tired” — where the description and the noun are separate. Now, we’ll learn how to combine descriptions and nouns to create phrases like “tired student” or “happy child.” To do this, we’ll use a small word called “na”, which acts like a connector or linker. Once we’ve learned how to build these descriptive phrases, we’ll put them into full sentences to talk about ourselves and others — like “I am a tired student.”
This post includes lesson notes, practice drills with the Linker “na”, example sentences, and a Quizlet Deck for additional practice. Happy studying!
