Examples of gai SOMEONE .1 Primitive Syntax
5.7.6 Examples of gai
An old candidate for SOMEONE is likely to be relatively simple semantically and uncontroversially decomposable in terms of SOMEONE. Our search of examples of gai in our corpus yields a few of the missing NSM frames. 5.7.6.1 gai KNOW We have the following near-canonical examples of gai in combination with KNOW: ER:856 Yeah, we go fishing, sometime we go catch turtle. We come home, maybe we get about four or five, we kalua. In the night, as soon as we go out and we catch one turtle, we get one paddle, we put ’em out, we tie the shirt on top. Every time the home guys know we get turtle, they go make fire. ER:885 But the behind truck guy, the one the fault. You know, he wen see us backing up, ’cause we no can see, over there get one hill. He was backing up, he still coming down. He still coming down and he wen bang up. Bang the radiator and puka the radiator. Then the picking machine, they get radio, eh. They call the station, what number truck wen bang. Then the guys, they know, eh, what truck I went on top because they know me, too, eh. Ah, they tell the cowboy wen bang ’em. TA:40 Because every bag had tags, see. On the back, said from who to who and the other side now, you going put Vivien Lee, your name. So when it goes over there, the check come direct to you. But some people, they rather see the check come to my father to deliver. Some, they want the check come direct to you. Come directly in your name. But most of the check, they send one lump sum check in one envelope and my father deliver the check. Mostly about the 15th of the month the check comes. So most of the guys know so they going down there divide the check. 5.7.6.2 gai FEEL We have the following near-canonical sentences with gai and the primitive FEEL: ER:884 Then sometime when no busy like that, then we gotta go picking, too. If the season slack off, too much driver, they send so much driver one day. The next day, other driver, he go drive. Then sometime you gotta go ho hana and you gotta go hemo slip. That time I go hemo slip, I don’t know how to hemo slip. I hemo any kind. Sometime the guys, they look by how he grow, they know about the weight. But some guys, they can feel, hemo one, they feel that’s the size, they broke all and they put in. You gotta know what the ounce and the weight so that all go one place, yeah, the plant. So when they going plant in the fields, they say, no can this, small one and big one. Bumbai the pineapple no grow right. MY:1483 But my wife tell me, “Like you, you go in time, once you get inside, you no can come home already because you get your customers, you going to take care.” You know, any business salesman, when you get your customer, you got to take care. And me, that’s one guy, I no like the guy feel bad. I got to take care until he’s satisfied. I said, “The only thing I can do, I take the order from my house. My home office, and I do for you. Is that all right?” He said, “Well, no can help, eh?” I say, “You no have to pay me.”5.7.7 Summary
