Description and behaviour


Meanings and examples


Contrastive emphasis.

  • aqagumi?, how about tomorrow?
  • uangami?, what about me?

Used for emphasis or confirmation.

  • ilumummi, true indeed

    From ilumut.

  • qangalimi takuvugut!, how long indeed since we saw each other!

    This can maybe be considered the Greenlandic version of the expression 'long time, no see'.
