Guaraní

And now, an introduction to the beautiful language of Guaraní

Yes: Heê
No: Nahaniri

Who, what, where, when, why:

Mava, Mba'e, Moô, Araka'e, Mba'ere

numbers:
1 peteî
2 mokôi
3 mbohapy
4 irundy
5 po


the personal pronouns are
I - Che
you - nde
he\she\it - ha'e
we - ñande (inclusive) ore (exclusive)
you all - peê
them - ha'e kuera


The verbs come in three different types
areals, aireals, and chendalles

areals you add:
Singular Plural
1st person a ja\ña ( for oral\nasal words) ro (exclusive we)
2nd person re pe
3rd person o o

the aireals are the same, but its ai, rei, oi, etc.

the chendalles you just add the personal pronoun and then a word

che kane'o is I am tired, it is like estoy cansado in spanish
but for the third person it isn't just ha'e

you add an i: ikane'o
but for words that begin with vowels you add an ij- if its oral or iñ- if its nasal

and the most important phrase you need:
aipota peteî cerveza penguino rumbyicha
which means: I want a beer like a penguin's ass , which during the summer is apparently quite the necessity.

one of the great things about guaraní in paraguay is that a lot of the jokes and sayings like that are in guaraní

to make things be in the future you add -ta to the end if it is an affirmative statement and -mo'aî if it is a negative statement

for the past when you are asking, you add -ra'e, but when you are responding you add -kuri.

and then there are many, many ¨particles¨ that are little words that indicate things like time, location, desire, necessity, emphasis, and many other things.

-se indicates desire
-ne indicates necessity, and -chene indicates lack of necesity
-hiná indicates an action in progress

But all in all learning two languages simultaneously is easier than I thought it would be.
