Ket
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Yeniseian *sim ~ *sum (“if, when”, preverbal irrealis particle).[1][2]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /¹sim/, [sʲiˑm˧]
Particle
сим (sīm)
- if, if only, would; preverbal subjunctive or irrealis particle
Usage notes
- As can be deduced by the definition, this particle сим appears before the verb in Ket sentence. For example:
- Ат богон. (Ād bókon. “I went.” [Realis mode])
- Ат сим богон. (Ād sīm bókon. “If only I went..., I would have went..., Had I went...” [Irrealis mode])
