Ojibwemowin Grammar Resources

VTA Grammar Patterns Generator

The Gidinwewininaan.com resource is a great one for several Indigenous languages in addition to Ojibwemowin. We especially recommend its Verb Transitive Animate (VTA) Grammar Patterns feature, available below. VTAs are verbs that describe an interaction between two (2) beings. Examples include the sentences “I see you” and “You hear him/her.” The resource is intuitive and easy to use. Beside the generator, it also includes quick-access flashcards.
