depending on dialect. Instead of starting with t after a consonant and j after a vowel, this form starts with p after a consonant and v after a vowel. The exact difference varies from dialect to dialect. In western dialects, including Inuinnaqtun and Inupiatun, only the t/j forms are ever used for statements and the p/v form is rarely if ever heard. In Greenland, only the p/v form is used. In the central and eastern Canadian dialects, both forms are used. Interrogatives There are additional p/v forms used in Nunavut to indicate interrogative statements – asking questions – although they may indicate other subtle distinctions of aspect. When they are used to ask questions, the last vowel may be doubled to indirectly indicate rising pitch. So, the question "Are we there yet?" can be written as ? (tikip- – to arrive, and for -pita see the table below) but may also be written as ? This way, one can very compactly pose and answer simple yes/no questions: Subjects The subject of a non-specific verb has no special morphological mark: Objects The object of a non-specific verb must end in a suffix that indicates its syntactic role: The object of a non-specific verb takes one of the suffixes below, depending on its number: {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan=3 | Indefinite suffixes |- ! Singular | | /m/ nasalises a preceding consonant |- ! Dual | | deletes any preceding consonant and doubles the length of the preceding vowel |- ! Plural | | /n/ nasalises a preceding consonant |} An example using the verb taku- – to see – and inuviniq – dead person: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Singular: | |- ! Dual: | |- ! Plural: | |} To say "I see the dead person" or "I see the dead people" requires a specific verb, which is described in the section below. Specific verbs Specific verbs – verbs whose objects are definite as opposed to indefinite – take suffixes that indicate the grammatical person of both the subject and the object, but not their grammatical number. Specific indicative conjugation Note that the suffixes in this table cannot be used for reflexive verbs. That will be discussed separately. Alternative form As with non-specific verbs, specific verbs have an alternate v/p form used to the exclusion of j/t forms in Greenland, to some extent interchangeably in Nunavut, and not at all in
