Tl’ís kw’es télexwes… means ‘(They) wanted to find out…’.
Audio: Elizabeth Herrling
This phrase has the following structure:
Vocabulary:
- stl’í – want, need (Elizabeth says it without the s– in this sentences. s– is a noun marker here, and there is often variation with this.)
- The –s at the end of tl’í is a possessive marker, literally tl’is kw’es = ‘(their) want (is)…‘
- kw’es – that, to
- télexw – find out, discover
- -es – here, a ‘third person’ marker (indicates that the subject is someone other than you or me).
