Overview

All the words are analysed with dictionary form + grammatical tags. Each tag is introduced with a “+” sign. We thus have

bijlav bijlla+N+Sg+Acc
boadáv boahtet+V+Ind+Prs+Sg1

The tag scheme follows Spiik and Nystø/Johnsen. It is not as different from North Sámi, the main differences are due to the grammatical differences between the languages in question.

Note that you have to add the part of speech twice when you use the derivational tag:

gåhtjoduvvá gåhttjot+V+Der/Pass+V+Ind+Prs+Sg3

The main parts of speech (POS) for Lule Saami are:

Nouns, adjectives, verbs, pronouns, adverbs, particles, subjunctions, conjunctions, postpositions, prepositions and interjections.
