yup'ik word of the day--qaqiitua

qaqiitua: (qa-QEE-doo'a): (v): i'm finished

mama? mama! qaqiitua! wipe me!

NOTES:
'qaqiitua' comes from the base word 'qaqiite-', which means 'to finish.'

some variations to 'qaqiitua.'
qaqiituten-qaa? (qa-QEE-do'den-qaa?)--are you finished?

qaqiituq (qa-QEE-dooq)--he/she is finished.

on dec. 21st i will be saying 'qaqiitua' here at togiak school. it'll be a good day. i'll miss it, but it'll be a good day.
