Im doing an applicative paper for my uni course this was so helpful to find similarites between african bantu language and uto-Aztecan languages are so cool
Yan! Honest question. If two Nahuatl speakers were discussing a recent kidnapping would they use the causative form of poliwi: "poloa," in order to refer to the person/people who went missing (as in vanished)? FINAL EDIT: I imagine that this is context dependent. But let's say the situation was two men reading a news article about the kidnapping, would they say someone similar to "that man allegedly (poloa) the victim"?

would tinechchiyaltia then mean you are making me wait?
Yup
@@thenahuatlchannel3896 wouldn't the non-causative form of the verb mean the same thing in this case, tinechchiya?
Tlasohkamati Temachtiani. 👋🏾
In "nictequihuia tlicolli". Is this causative or applicative?
Applicative, it literally means: I employ it

The vanished person is
Poliwi,
The causative here isnt poloa, probably something like itskia - to take. Would be used
