yup'ik word of the day--tepsarquten

tepsarquten: [DEP-sarr-qoo'den]: (v): you stink

take a shower! brush your teeth! tepsarquten!

NOTES:
'tepsarquten' comes from the base word 'tepsarqe-,' which means 'to stink.'

some variations to the word 'tepsarquten:'
tepsarqua: [DEP-sarr-qoo'a]: i stink
tepsarquq: [DEP-sarr-qoo'q]: he/she/it stinks

though it may be rude to tell someone 'tepsarquten,' you are doing yourself and others, as well as the stinky person, a favor by telling them the truth. tepsarquten.
