root always remains the same<\/span><\/strong>, you just have to add the endings: <strong><span style=\"color:#0073A8\" class=\"tadv-color\">-ni, -nki, -n, -nchis, -yku, -nkichis, -nku<\/span><\/strong>, this applies to all verbs, only in <a href=\"https:\/\/aprenderde.com\/quechua-cusco\/english\/grammar\/verb-kay-to-be\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">the verb Kay<\/a> there is a slight change and, of course, there are also verbs that cannot be conjugated in 1st and 2nd person, for example rain, you cannot say: I rain, you rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, as in Spanish (but not in English) <span style=\"background-color:#FAD2E0\" class=\"tadv-background-color\">the pronoun can be tacit or omitted<\/span>, if someone says &#8220;ruwanki&#8221; it is understood that he is talking about &#8220;qan&#8221; (you), so &#8220;qan ruwanki&#8221; and &#8220;ruwanki&#8221; are almost the same: &#8220;you do&#8221;, the only difference is that &#8220;qan ruwanki&#8221; is more emphatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that in Quechua there are no ambiguities between you and you [plural], there is never confusion between &#8220;you do&#8221; (qan ruwanki) and &#8220;you do&#8221; (qankuna ruwankichis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already get the idea, you can move on to the next lesson, because from now on I will only put repetitive examples conjugating other verbs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
