1. Emotions

In this lesson, you will learn dialogues to discuss emotions and feelings. You will learn several vocabulary words to describe how people feel.

1.1. Are you happy?

Instead of simply asking the question «Tan kahk olu kil ?» / How are you?, we can go further by asking more emotion-focused questions. The dialogue will reuse the prefixes (n - nil / me - I) and (k - kil / you - you). We can still use the full form (nil or kil) or the abbreviated form (n or k).
Example:
We can say «nil nulitahas» / «I am fine» or simply «nulitahas» / «I am fine». In the second case, the «n» at the beginning of the word indicates the first person singular (I).
Dialogue :
Question :  Kulitahas ? / Are you happy?
Answer:     Aha. Nulitahas ! / Yes, I am happy.

1.2. How are you feeling?

To be more precise when discussing emotions, it’s possible to use « how are you feeling » which allows for a greater variety of responses.
Dialogue:
Question:  Tan ktolomolsin ? / How are you feeling?
Answer:     Nkosinuhk pemkiskahk. / I am sick today.
Other possible responses:

Nulomols	I feel good.
Mocomols	I don’t feel well.
Nulitahas	I am happy.
Nkosinuhk	I am sick.
Naskatahas	I am frustrated.
Nkospon	I am tired.
Ntoqes	I am ashamed.
Npalitahas	I am proud (e.g., I am proud to be Wolastoqey).
Npalitahams	I am proud (e.g., I am proud of myself).
Nkotomakomols	I am sad.
