Carlos peje ne. Motion verbs Ex. 5 –13

16.4 Grammar 217 It should be noted that in the case of a conversation in which the speakers are talking about a third party, 101 the situation is basically a third person narrative in which the speaker is not involved in the motion. In this case, the speaker chooses the location of the third party at the time of the beginning of the motion as the reference point. Example Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 are talking about a person moving to Location X.

1. Carlos X-che ne.

‗Charles is going to X.‘

2. Eye, Carlos X-che ne.

‗Yes, Charles is going to X.‘ As in English and Spanish, the reference point of motion of Charles is considered by Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 to be Charles ‘ present location. Speaker 1‘s form of the verb ne ‗to go‘ is used to indicate that Charles is departing from the reference point.
