Subject verb object In the following example, we can see an example of where the primary word order SOV, deviates to become SVO. Note the pronoun 'I' doesn't have any case marking active and is in pronoun form (see Cases on Pronouns). Next, on the first or main verb 'able', there isn't any specification for the type of verb.

Although this is a simple function, it is worth mentioning in understanding the way Yaqui functions as a system. The subject comes after the object in the correct subject pronoun form. Following is the verb 'remember', which may be a trigger to the word order. Perhaps this word order implies the topic should be who/what is being remembered. Case Yaqui is a "noun-heavy" agglutinative language.

The "-(e)po" ending is quite common and seems to denote much more than simple physical inclusion. Cases are marked on the nouns with suffixes. The following is a list of all the cases that are marked in the language. Nouns Plural nouns are formed by adding the suffix "-im", or "-m" if the noun ends in a vowel. If the noun ends in a "t", it changes to "ch" when "-im" is added. Tekil - Job Tekilim - Jobs If a plural noun is the object of a sentence, the
