Welcome back to #CrucianwithMami, today I’m going to talk about the 3rd thing Pronoun Ih or as they say in Standard English It.
Ih is an interesting word while it means “it” it can also be used to say “there’s”. With Crucian it’s really best to learn by listening since there really aren’t any formal rules you just hear and repeat. I guess this is why our writing system is so fractured everyone writes the words in their own interpretation to how it sounds.
As for Ain, it seems to only be used in the negative form in specific situations. I haven’t really figured out what those situations are yet.
In Standard English, It has three forms It, Its, and Itself. Ih also has three forms in Crucian, Ih, Itz, and Itself.
Here are the sample sentences:
SE: It was just on the floor over there.
Ih wuz jus on deh floor ova deh
SE: Can you dig a hole and cover it?
Yu co dig a hole an cova ih?
SE: Is that its tail?
Iz dah itz tail?
SE: Did you see that dog free itself?
Yu see dah dawg free ihself?
SE: It doesn’t have anything to do with me.
Ain gah nuttin tuh do wid me.
In the next lesson, I will focus on 1st person plural We.
