The Verb "Have"

The verb "have" in Avaric is translated as "ара" (ara). This verb is used to indicate possession, relationships, and actions that occurred in the past. Understanding how to use "have" correctly is important for speaking and writing Avaric fluently.

Possession

To indicate that something belongs to someone in Avaric, we use the verb "ara" with the subject followed by the noun that represents the possession. In Avaric, it is necessary to add a possessive marker at the end of each noun to indicate possession.

For example:

Avaric	Pronunciation	English
мина ара	mina ara	I have	сина ара	sina ara	you have	уӀина ара	ulina ara	he/she/it has	кина ара	kina ara	we have	дина ара	dina ara	you (plural) have	ина ара	ina ara	they have

In the example above, notice that the possessive marker "а" (a) is added at the end of each subject pronoun to indicate possession.

Dialogue:

• Person 1: мина ара кӀор? (Mina ara k'or?) - Do I have a house?
• Person 2: ау, мина ара кӀор. (Au, mina ara k'or.) - Yes, you have a house.

Translation:

• Person 1: Do I have a house?
• Person 2: Yes, you have a house.

Relationships

The verb "ara" is also used to indicate relationships between people or things. In order to express these relationships, it is necessary to use the subject marker, the verb "ara" followed by the noun.

For example:

Avaric	Pronunciation	English
дедаи ара	dedai ara	grandparent has	мат ара	mat ara	mother has	дад ара	dad ara	father has	хьай ара	x'ai ara	sister has	бер ара	ber ara	brother has	хол ара	xol ara	son has	дов ара	dov ara	daughter has

In the example above, notice how we use the verb "ara" in combination with the names of family members to indicate relationships.

Dialogue:

• Person 1: мат ара кӀилла? (Mat ara k'illa?) - Does your mother have a car?
• Person 2: ау, мат ара кӀилла. (Au, mat ara k'illa.) - Yes, my mother has a car.

Translation:

• Person 1: Does your mother have a car?
• Person 2: Yes, my mother has a car.

Past actions

The verb "ara" is also used to indicate actions that occurred in the past. In this case, it is necessary to use the past tense of the verb "ara" in combination with the subject marker and the main verb in the past tense.

For example:

Avaric	Pronunciation	English
мина ӏела айг ару ара	mina ghela ajg aru ara	I had eaten	сина кӀела гат ару ара	sina k'ela gat aru ara	you had spoken	ина кӀела бӏо ару ара	ina k'ela bho aru ara	they had lived

In the example above, notice how we use the past tense of "ara" in combination with the past tense of the main verb to indicate past actions.

Dialogue:

• Person 1: кӀина кӏел ару ара? (K'ina k'el aru ara?) - Had you eaten?
• Person 2: ау, кӀина кӏела ару ара. (Au, k'ina k'ela aru ara.) - Yes, I had eaten.

Translation:

• Person 1: Had you eaten?
• Person 2: Yes, I had eaten.
