Inuit Grammar - Causative

Causative

The causative is used to link propositions that follow logically. It is much more broadly used in Inuktitut than similar structures are in English. The causative is one of the most important ways of connecting two clauses in Inuktitut:

Qannirmat qainngittunga
qanniq- + -mat qai- + -nngit- + -tunga
to snow + 4th pers. non-specific causative to come + not + 1st pers. sg. non-specific
Because it is snowing, I am not coming.
