More about Khaste

Khaste means tired. To say I'm tired, add -am and the e melts away: Khastam. To ask a friend, add -yi and say Khasteyi. A common way to check on someone is the negative question Khaste nisti?, which means "aren't you tired?" and uses Nist, the not-word. It is taught in Module 5, lesson 2, in the lesson called Tired and hungry, alongside Gorosne. The pattern is the same for the other feelings in that module: the word stays, and the ending says who is feeling it.
