Actor is bad
Notes
This can also be in an avalent sense 'it is bad', when used with a 3p.sg ending without an explicit specification of the subject. Note that the only way to express that something is good (or working, or in order) is to negate this stem with V{ŋŋit}V.

| ajunngilaq | it is good/ok/alright | With negation affix V{ŋŋit}V (see this for an explanation of the ending). This is the standard way of expressing confirmation similar to English 'OK' or 'alright'. |
