More things

A nashiwat ten tuon sebio chet?

Da tí yodna tugikan

Two sentences this time. In the first sentence pupil says What does that thing call itself? Ghostians feel that to call something is a reflexive verb. The word for thing is a neuter noun, tuon. The word for 'it' is also used as an article, usually demonstrative. It can be used to mean 'this' or 'that' without distinction.

Teacher replies It's a pencil. He changes the gender to feminine to agree with the noun.
