Basic Quechua Lessons -- Lecciones Bsicas de Quechua GRAMMAR = GRAMATICA

Quechua Grammar has a structure similar to English; except for the verbs, which are different from English. Suffixes are added to the root verb to create new words. Do not get discouraged, it isn't difficult to learn the basics. Quechua sigue mas o menos la misma estructura que el Ingls pero diferente a otras lenguas especialmente los verbos. No se desanime, no es difcil de aprender lo bsico. La mejor manera de aprender el Quechua es practicando e imitando a voz viva a una persona nativa y no siguiendo complicadas reglas o caracteres de la gramtica. Quechua pertenece a las familias de las aglutinantes, que estan constitudas de palabras

formadas por una "raz" a la que se aaden partculas y que pueden combinarse entre s. La raz es la parte ms antigua de los vocablos. En Quechua, las palabras primitivas o las "palabras madres" desempean como radical para indicar el significado de las palabras que tienen la misma raz mientras que las partculas expresan alteraciones de aquella. Por ejemplo K'oi = Caliente; K'oichiy = hacer calentar. Quechua words are normally written without the letters b, c, d, g, v, x, z. El alfabeto Quechua consta de 21 letras a,ch, e, f, q, I, j, k, l, ll, m, n, , o, p, r, s, t, u, w, y. O sea que en el Quechua no existen las siguientes letras del castellano: b,c,d,g,rr,v,x,z. Las vocales como en el castellano son cinco a, e, I, o, u. In Quechua you don't have to worry whether a word is masculine or feminine. Quechua does not have definite and indefinite articles ("the" and "a"), nor distinctions between formal and familiar terms; (Some languages, such as Spanish, do). Also there are no irregular verbs in Quechua, if you know the forms for one verb, you will know the others. En Quechua usted no tiene que preocuparse si es masculino o femenino. Quechua no tiene artculos definidos (el/la) o indefinidos ("un, una"), tampoco no hay distincin entre trminos formales o informales como en Castellano ("t y usted"). Tambin todos los verbos se conjugan de la misma manera, no hay verbos irregulares en Quechua, si Ud. sabe conjugar un verb, puede conjugar los demas.

PLURAL
The plural is formed by adding "kuna", or specifying the number. El plural se forma agregando "kuna", o especificando el nmero. Rumi = Stone = Piedra. Rumi-kuna = Stones = Piedras. Kimsa rumi = Three stones = Tres piedras. Askha rumi = Many stones = Muchas piedras. Wawa = Son = Hijo Wawayki-kuna = Your sons = Tus hijos.

PRESENT = PRESENTE

Personal Pronouns = Pronombres Personales Noq'a, oqa = I = Yo. Qam, q'an, qan = You = Usted o T. Pai, pay = He or She = El o ella. oqayku = We = Nosotros. Noq'anchis, oqanchik = We (all of us) = Nosotros (todos). Qankuna, q'ankuna, qamkuna = You = Ustedes o vosotros. Paykuna, paikuna = They = Ellos. Add the pronoun before the root word, and an ending that indicates the "person". Agreque el pronombre antes de la raz, y un final para indicar la persona. Munay = To wish, to desire, to love = Querer o amar oqa muna-ni = I want = yo quiero. Qan muna-nki = you want = Usted/t quiere(s). Pay muna-n = he/she wants = l/ella quiere. oqayku muna-niku = we want = nosotros queremos. oqanchis muna-nchis = all of us want = todos nosotros queremos. Qankuna muna-nkichis = you guys want = Ustedes quieren. Paykuna muna-nku = they want = ellos quieren. The pronouns added to the beginning are optional, here we only use the suffix. Los pronombres que hemos agregado al principio del verbo son opcionales, en el siguiente slo estamos usando el sufijo. Yachachiy = To teach = Ensear Yachachi-ni = I teach = Yo enseo. Yachachi-nki = you teach = T enseas. Yachachi-n = He/she teaches = El/ella ensea. Yachachi-niku = We teach = Nosotros enseamos. Yachachi-nchis = All of us teach = (todos) Nosotros enseamos. Yachachi-nkichis = You teach (plural) = Ustedes ensean. Yachachi-nku = They teach = Ellos ensean. In some locations, the pronunciation and spelling are slightly different, it is also common to hear "Qam" instead of "Qan", and "nchik" instead of "nchis". The ending for "He/She" is sometimes used for "They". En algunos lugares, la pronunciacin y el deletreo de las palabras son un poquito diferentes, y tambin es comn escuchar "Qam" en lugar de "Qan", y "nchik" en lugar de "nchis". Los finales "El/Ella son usados algunas veces para "Ellos".

Waylluy = To love = Amar oqa waylluni = I love = Yo amo. Qam wayllunki = You love = T amas. Pay wayllun = He/She loves = El/ella ama. oqayku waylluniku = We love = Nosotros amamos. oqanchik wayllunchik = All of us love = Nosotros (todos) amamos. Qamkuna wayllunkichik = You (plural) love = Ustedes aman. Paykuna wayllunku, (Paykuna wayllun) = They love = Ellos aman. Kay = To be = Ser Verb Kay = To be, has all the subject pronouns and it is a regular verb as we can see in the following: El verbo Kay = Ser, tiene todas las personas gramaticales y es un verbo regular como podemos ver en el siguente: oqa ka-ni = I am = Yo soy. Qam ka-nki = You are = T eres. Pay ka-n = He/She is = El/Ella es. oqanchik ka-nchik = We are (inclusive) = Nosotros somos (inclusivo). oqayku ka-niku = We are (exclusive) = Nosotros somos (exclusivo). Qamkuna ka-nkichik = You are = Ustedes son, o vosotros sois. Paykuna ka-nku = They are = Ellos son. Waylluy = To love = Amar Wayllusqa kani. = I am loved. = Yo soy amado. Wayllusqa kanki. = You are loved. = T eres amado. Wayllusqa kan. = He/she is loved. = El/ella es amado. Wayllusqa kanchik. = We are loved (inclusive) = Nosotros somos amados (inclusivo). Wayllusqa kaniku. = We are loved (exclusive) = Nosotros somos amados (exclusivo). Wayllusqa kankichik = You are loved. = Ustedes son amados. Wayllusqa kanku. = They are loved. = Ellos son amados. The first and the third person of "to be" are sometimes replaced by the ending "n" after vowels, and "mi" after consonants. La primera y la tercera persona de "ser" frecuentemente son reemplazados por los sufijos "n" despus de vocales y "mi" despus de consonantes. Allillan-mi = I am fine = Estoy bien. Ima-n sutiyki? = What is your name? = Cmo te llamas?

Sutiymi David, Sutiyqa Davidmi. = My name is David. = Me llamo David. The continuous present is made by inserting "cha", "sha", or "chka" between the root word and the present tense ending. En presente progresivo, agregar "sha", "cha" o "chka" entre el verbo que es la ras y el tiempo presente sufijo. Qan yachachinki = You teach = T enseas. Qan yachachishanki = You are teaching = T ests enseando. PRESENT PARTICIPLE = PARTICIPIO PRESENTE The present participle (ends with "ing" in English) is formed by adding the ending "spa" to the root word. En castellano, en presente participio agregamos "ando" o "iendo" al principal verbo; en Quechua est formado por el cuerpo del verbo y el sufijo "spa". Puriy = To walk = Caminar. Purispa = Walking = Caminando. Mikuy = To eat = Comer Mikuspa = Eating = Comiendo.

PAST = PASADO
PRETERITE TENSE = TIEMPO PRETRITO Waylluy = To love (romantic) = Amar Wayllurqani = I loved = Am. Wayllurganki = You loved = Amaste. Wayllurqa = He/She loved = Am. Wayllurqanchik = We (all) loved = Amamos (todos). Wayllurqaniku = We loved = Amamos. Wayllurqankichik = You loved (plural) = Amaron. Wayllurqaku = They loved = Amaron. INDEFINITE PRETERITE = PRETRITO INDEFINIDO O PERFECTO Kay = To be = Ser

oga ka-rqani = I was = Yo fui. Qam ka-rqanki = You were = T fuiste. Pay ka-rqa = He/She was = El/Ella fue. oqanchik ka-rqanchik = We were (inclusive) = Nosotros fuimos (inclusivo). oqayku ka-rqaniku = We were (exclusive) = Nosotros fuimos (exclusivo). Qamkuna ka-rqankichik = You were = Ustedes fueron. Paykuna ka-rqaku = They were = Ellos fueron. PAST PARTICIPLE = PRETERITO PARTICIPIO Adding "sqa" to the end of the verb is similar to adding "ed" in English: Se forma con "sqa", similar a "ado" o "ido" en Espaol: Kuyay = To love (brotherly) = Amar Kaypin kuya-sqa karga = Here, he was loved = Aqu fue querido. PAST TENSE = PRETERITO The past tense is formed by inserting "ra" or "rqa" between the root word and the present tense ending. Para formar el tiempo pasado agregue "ra" "rqa" entre el verbo y el tiempo presente sufijo. Muna-ra-ni = I wanted = yo quise. Muna-rqa-nki = you wanted = usted quiso.

FUTURE = FUTURO
FUTURE TENSE (IMPERFECT) = FUTURO IMPERFECTO Apend a future suffix, to indicate the person. Agregue el sufijo futuro, para indicar la persona. Munay = To wish, to desire = Querer o amar Muna-saq = I will want = yo querr Muna-nki = You will want (same as present) = usted querr (iqual al presente). Muna-nqa = he/she will want = l/ella querr. Muna-saqku, (muna-sun, munasunchis) = we will want = nosotros querremos. Muna-nkichis = all of you will want = ustedes querrn. Muna-nqaku = they will want = ellos querrn

Kay = To Be = Ser o Estar oqa ka-saq = I will be = Yo ser. Qam ka-nki = You will be = T sers. Pay ka-nqa = He/She will be = El/Ella ser. oqanchik ka-sunckik (kasun) = We will be (inclusive) = Nosotros seremos (inclusivo). oqayku ka-saqku = We will be (exclusive) = Nosotros seremos (exclusivo). Qamkuna ka-nkichik = You will be (Plural) = Ustedes sern o vosotros seris. Paykuna ka-nqaku = They will be = Ellos sern. Waylluy = To love = Amar Wayllusaq = I will love = Amar. Wayllunki = You will love = Amars. Wayllunqa = He/She will love = Amar. Wayllusunchik o wayllusun = We will love (all) = Amaremos (todos). Wayllusaqku = We will love = Amaremos. Wayllunkichik = You will love (plural) = Amarn. Wayllunqaku = They will love = Amarn. Another way to make the future tense is to add "sunchis" to the end of the root word, (equivilent to saying "let us..."). Ud. puede formar Tambin cualquier futuro con "sunchis", (como "Vamos a..." ). Puusunchis = Let's sleep = Vmos a dormir. Yanusunchis = Let's cook = Vmos a cocinar. Ripusunchis = Let's go = Vmos (a ir). Maasunchis = Let's ask = Vmos a pedir. Sometimes you can use the present tense for the future as long as you make it clear. Algunas veces usted puede usar el tiempo presente para el futuro siempre en cuando sea claro lo que Ud.dice.

DERIVATIVES OF THE NOUN "WASI" , FORMED BY ADDING SUFFIXES PALABRAS DERIVADAS DEL SUSTANTIVO "WASI" MEDIANTE SUFIJOS A noun can have suffixes added to it to express different functions. The root word itself does not change. Here is a short list of words made from wasi, (wasi = house). The following are grouped together to show how endings can be added to other endings to make very long words. Quechua words can be made in hundreds of ways beyond the few examples shown here. WASI = CASA, es un sustantivo y nnca va a cambiar pero al agregarle sufijos va expresar diferentes funciones. Aqu viene una pequea lista de palabras derivadas de Wasi, para hacer una lista completa tomara mucho tiempo. Esto es slo como un ejemplo para que usted tenga idea que las palabras en Quechua pueden derivarse de muchsimas formas.

Wasi = House = Casa. Wasita = Did you go to the house, or not yet? Wasip = Of the house = De la casa. Wasimanta = From the house = Desde la casa. Wasipaq = For the house (e.g. I'm buying this thing for the house) = Para la casa. Wasikama = Up to the house = Hasta la casa. Wasipi = In the house = En la casa. Wasiwan = Included as part of the house = Est incluido con la casa. Wasiman = Take something to the house = Llevar algo a la casa. Wasirayku = Yes, I can give you my land in exchange for your house. = Si, puedo darte mi terreno a cambio de tu casa. Possessive = Posesivos. Wasii, wasiy = My house = Mi casa Wasiiki, wasiyki = Your house = T casa Wasin = His/her house = Su casa Wasinchik = Our house (everybody's)= Nuestra casa (de todos) Wasiiku = Our house (only ours) = Nuestra casa (solo de nosotros) Wasiikichik = Your house (Plural) = Vuestra casa Wasinku = Their house = La casa de ellos The equivalent of "to" is formed by adding "ta" to the possessive form. Para formar "a", se agrega el sufijo "ta" al posesivo. Wasiita = To my house = A mi casa Wasiikita = To your house = A t casa Wasinta = To his house = A su casa Wasinchikta = To our house = A nuestra casa Plural = Plural. Wasikuna = Houses = Casas Wasikunata = The houses = Las casas Wasikunap = Belongs to the houses = De las casas Wasikunamanta = From the houses = De las casas The following plurals refers to the object (house), not to the subject (person). Los siguientes plurales se refieren al objeto, no al sujeto. Wasiikuna = My houses = Mis casas Wasiikikuna = Your houses = Tus casas Wasinkuna = His houses = Sus casas

Wasiikunata = To my houses = A mis casas Wasiikikunata = To your houses = A tus casas Wasinkunata = To his houses = A sus casas Now both the subject and the object are plural. Ahora tenemos plural que se refieren al sujeto y al objeto. Wasinchikkunata = To our houses = A nuestras casas. Wasiikichikkunata = To your houses, (several of you) = A vuestras casas Wasinkukunata = To their houses = A las casas de ellos.

Wan is added to the ending to say "with"; if "wan" follows "ta", together they mean "also" or "more". Si a la terminacin "ta" se le agrega "wan" = "tambin", "ms", se forman nuevas palabras. "Wan" sin "ta" significa "con". Wasiiwan = With my house = Con mi casa. Wasiitawan = My house also = Mi casa tambin, o mi casa ms. Wasiikitawan = Your house too = T casa tambin o t casa ms. Wasinkutawan = With their house too = Con la casa de ellos tambin. To form the plural, we put "kuna" between house and "ta-wan". Para formar plural de la casa vamos a poner "kuna" en medio de casa y "ta-wan". Wasiikunatawan = My houses also = Mis casas tambin. Tag, when added to "ta", acts like a warning to avoid something. Taq, despus de "ta", acta como un aviso para evitar algo. Wasiitataq tuirachiwaq = I hope you won't bring my house down = No vayas a derrumbar mi casa. Wasiikitataq lloqlla aparunman = It seems that the flood is going to wash away your home. = Parece que la inundacin lo va a arrastrar tu casa. Raq is added to change the meaning to "yet", "still" or "first". There is no single literal equivalent, it is best described by several examples. Agregando el sufijo "raq" a "wasi, vamos a tener las siguientes palabras; (todavia, an, an mas, primero, antes). 1. Wasiraq = Yet the house: (We sold everything, except the house is not sold yet.) = La casa todava: (Vendimos todo pero la casa todava falta). 2. Wasipaqraq = For the house still: (I don't want to buy other things yet, because I still need to buy many things for the house.) = Para la casa todava: (No quiero

comprar otra cosa, pues me falta todava comprar muchas cosas para la casa). 3. Wasitaraq, wasimanraq = To the house first: ( Don't bring him here, take him to the house first.)= A la casa primero: (No le traigas aqu, llvalo a la casa primero). 4. Wasimantaraq = From the house first: (Before I leave, I'll call you from the house first). = De la casa primero: (Antes de salir voy a llamante de la casa primero). 5. Wasimanraq (chayasun) = The house first: (Before we continue with our trip we need to stop by the house first.) = A la casa primero: (Antes de continuar con el viaje necesitamos parar en la casa primero). 6. Wasipiraq = Still in the house: (Oh my God, he is still in the house) = En la casa todava: (Oh Dios, todava se encuentra en la casa). 7. Wasikunaraq = The houses are still there: (We can't continue building the road, because there are still some houses in the way.) = Las casas todava: (No podemos hacer mas pistas porque todava all estn algunas casas). 8. Wasikunaparaq = For the houses yet: (I still need to buy curtains for the houses, before renting them.) = Para las casas todava: (Quiero comprar cortinas para las casas todava antes de alquilarlas). PHRASES = FRASES Now we see how a single word, made of a root and many suffixes can become a complex expression. Ahora vemos que una palabra simple se puede convertir en mas compleja al agregarles varios sufijos. 1. Wakchawawanchikkunallatapas kusichisunchis. = At least let us entertain our orphan children. = Por lo menos, entretengamos a nuestros nios hurfanos. 2. Ruraykapuway = Do it for me please. = Hzmelo, por favor. 3. Munawanmanraqchu? = Can she still love me? = Podr quererme todava? 4. Kuyanakunkuch = Without a doubt they love each other. = Sin duda alguna se quieren. 5. Reqsichiwanaykipaq = For you to introduce me. = Para que me hagas conocer. 6.

11. Chutarayanaypaq = So, I will lay stiff on the floor. = Para que permanezca estirado en el suelo. 12. Kausanaykikamallapas = At least while you are alive. = Siquiera hasta que vivas. 13. Manchaymanchaykunamantapas, wauymi aswan manchachiwan. = Of all the fears I have, what makes me more scared is the death. = De todos los miedos el que ms asusta es la muerte.

Jayk'a kuti? = How many times? = Cuntas veces? Chaynachu manachu? = Is it right or not? = Es as o no? Manachu? = No? = No?

AFFIRMATIVE ADVERBS = ADVERBIOS AFIRMATIVOS The endings "m, mi, taq, taqmi and puni" give an affirmative action when added to a word. Los finales "m, mi, taq, taqmi y puni" dan la accin afirmativa a las palabras que se les agrega. Ar = Yes = S Ar chaynam = Yes, it is = S, as es. Cheqaymi = It is true = Es verdad. Jinataqmi = It is like that after all = Es as despus de todo. Cheqaypuni = Truthfully = Verdaderamente. Cheqaytaq = It is the truth = Es la verdad.

Manas = They said no = Ellos dicen que no. Mana pipas = Nobody = Nadie. Amaa = No more = No mas. Manaraq, Amaraq = Not yet = Todava no. Amach = Shouldn't be = No deba. Amapas = Better not = Mejor no. The word "ama" can express negation without emphasizing the negative too much. Tomando la palabra "ama" como raz, usted puede expresar negacin sin enfatizar mucho en la negacin. Ama q'ella = Don't be lazy. = No seas ocioso. INTERROGATIVES ADVERBS = ADVERBIOS INTERROGATIVOS Negative is formed by Mana or Manan plus the suffix -chu, but Ama is used to forbid someone from doing something. El Negativo est formado por Mana o Manan mas el sufijo -chu, pero Ama se usa para prohibir alguien de hacer algo. Manan munanichu upiayta = I don't want to drink = Yo no quiero tomar.
