Up until now, my notes about action sentences in Chamorro have focused on the use of transitive verbs, which are verbs that require their action to be transferred to an object. In this next series of posts on basic action sentences, we will learn how to start using intransitive verbs to make sentences like “I am jumping” or “We sat down.” This first post will be an introduction to the concept of affixes and intransitive verbs in Chamorro, including a beginner-level review of the different categories of intransitive verbs and the affixes they take. Happy studying!
