If you want to talk about having something in your possession, you add the affix -Kak- directly to the end of a noun:
| ulu + Kak + Ken? = | |
| uluKakKen? | Do you have an ulu? |
| ulu + Kak + Kunga = | |
| uluKakKunga | I have an ulu. |
When -Kak- is added to a noun ending in a consonant, it deletes the final consonant:
| Kagitaujak + Kak + Ka = | |
| KagitaujaKakKa? | Does he/she have a computer? |
| titigautik + Kak + Kutit = | |
| titigautiKakKutit | You have a pen. |
| fonnik + Kak + jon? = | |
| fonniKajon? | Do they have a phone? |
If you want to say that someone does not have something, remember that both -Kak- and -ngit- delete consonant sounds that come immediately before them: :
| Kagitaujak + Kak + ngit + tuk | |
| KagitaujaKangittuk | He/she doesn’t have a computer. |
THE ENDING -LIK
If you want to say, 'he/she has something,' Nunatsiavummiutitut speakers avoid the construction -Kak + tuk, and use the affix -lik instead:
| titigutiKakKâ ? | Does he/she have a pen? |
| Â, titigutilik. | Yes, he/she has a pen. |
Note that when -lik is added to a root ending in a consonant sound, it deletes the final consonant:
| atuagak + lik | |
| atuagalik | He/she has a book. |
Note, too, that -lik is not used to make a negative sentence; the construction Kak + ngit + tuk is used instead:
| Auka, atuagaKangittuk. | No, he/she does not have a book. |
| Auka, titigutiKangittuk. | No, he/she does not have pen. |
