PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.
The former editions of this work having passed out of
print, in compliance with the urgent suggestions of
several friends and a strong impression on my own
mind of the necessity for preserving the usefulness of
the work, I halve now prepared a revised and enlarged
edition, and have also introduced into it valuable
additions which will be found of great advantage to
the student of the Samoan language.
From a volume of MS. songs, written out by a native
poet, and lent me by the Rev. G. Brown, I culled 500
new words. On a visit to Samoa in 1885, 1 ascertained
the correct meaning of these words from various pun-
dits, and also collected many other words at the same
time. Since then I have added to the new collection
while translating a volume of myths and legends, &c.,
compiled by the late Eev. T. Powell. From Marsden's
Malay Dictionary I obtained 180 Eastern Polynesian
roots, which I have inserted in their places. There are
also many resemblances found in the Malay Grammar
to the Samoan. (See note appended.)
In this edition I have enlarged the Grammar, and

have added 560 words to the English and Samoan part
of the Pictionary.* About 1300 new words or new
meanings have been added, making a total of over
12,000 words.
Lastly, I have given a number of Proverbs in use
among the natives.

♦ The English and Samoan VocabnlaTy has bcsen placed last in the
Book for the convenience of Samoan students learning English ; and
the Samoan phonetic spelling of some English words, with the Samoan
names for parts of speech, have been included for the benefit of natives.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
For my own amusement in 1875 I wrote out a syntax
of the Samoan Grammar. I was led to do tim by
observing, while reading Nordheimer's Hebrew Gram-
mar, that the Samoan, in many points, resembled the
Hebrew. Shortly afterwards the Eev. S. J. Whitmee
asked me to contribute the Samoan part of a compara-
tive Malayo-Polynesian Dictionary. I at once, with
ther aid of pundits, commenced revising the first edition
of my Dictionary, whidi was printed at the Samoan
Mission Press in 1862. I read through the Hawaii,
Maori, Tahiti, and Fiji Dictionaries, and from these I
obtained some words which occur also in the Samoan
dialect, but which had been overlooked in the first
edition. I also culled words and examples from
Samoan genealogical accounts, songs, traditionary tales,
proverbs, &o. In this way I have been enabled to add
over four thousand new words or new meanings.
To the Rev, T. Powell, F.L.S., I am indebted for
many new words, including names, both native and
scientific, of plants.
Mr. Whitmee has filled up, as far as possible, the
scientific names of the plants and animals.
Many immodest words excluded from the first
edition have bew admitted into this.
** 'Tis needful that the most JmmndflHt word
Be looked upon and leam*d ; which, onoe ittinHwi,
Gomes to no farther use
But to be known and hated."

VI PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
Such is my experience. Having once learnt such a
word, I know how to avoid stumbling upon it in
speaking. Those who take the opposite course are
apt, all unconsciously, to say things which, had they
known, they would have wished unsaid.
Some Polynesian tribes have recently changed the
pronunciation of one or two consonants. The natives
of Nine (Savage Island) have changed the t into ts,
Fifteen years ago only a portion of the younger people
made the t into ts before i ; as lautd for lautL Since
then the practice has spread amongst the people, and
the use has been extended by some to the t before any
vowel.
In Hawaii they have changed the t into ft, and ng
into n. Thus tangata has become kanaka, Samoans
are doing the same thing at the present time, to the
great injury of the language.
The examples in the Grammar are taken from the
Scriptures. I wrote that part on the Island of Tutuila.
I had not access to any other Samoan writings, and
the convenience afforded by the use of a Concordance
was not to be despised. In the Samoan and English
part of the Dictionary most of the examples are taken
from old songs and historical myths. The examples
given with the nouns will show whether they take o
or a, lona or lana, in governing another noun, or in an
accompanying pronoun.
That all Samoan words have been collected it would
be useless to affirm. I would fain have had several
years during which to go on collecting, but must needs
be content to go to press with such as I have, as a new
edition is called for, the former being out of print.

NOTES.
(!)• On the Malay Language. — The Malay language was innndated
in the 12th century by the Arabic. Some letters were then intro-
duced ; and all words beginning with those letters are Arabic. There
are besides " multitudes of pure Sanscrit words." (Marsden's Malay
Dictionary.)
In introducing Arabic the words have been softened in accordance
with the genius of the Malay. May not the Malayan words also have
been hardened to bring them into accordance with the genius of the
Arabic, as iku to ikur; IcmgiU) langit.
The Malayan abounds in reduplicated words as lakUaki. Bedupli-
cation is a characteristic feature of the Samoan verb. Nouns have no
cases. Case is indicated by a preposition, eg. ka langit, to the sky.
An is suffixed to form the noun as jpilian, choice, from 'pili; compare
ga in Samoan. Gender is denoted by adding male or female. The
adjective follows the noun, and is not otherwise distinguished.
Numerals have many resemblances : lima puluhj five feathers, or fifty.
In Samoan limajvlu, fifty.
In the verb, the causative is indicated by men ; as diya men jalat
All the tenses in Javanese and in Malay are indicated by adverbs ;
and this is probably the origin of the verbal particles of the Samoan.
Syntax. — The subject generally follows the verb, and the agent
precedes; as, A horse eats grass. Sometinaes the subject precedes;
as. My plantation the elephants have destroyed. So the Samoan. In
the imperfect the agent mostly follows the verb; thus. Hear thou.
Numerals precede the noun, as. Six men ; Samoan, E toa ono tagata.
Sometimes they follow, as, '0 manu e/a, four birds.
Malay has a language of politeness ; so also the Samoan.
The Polynesians must have migrated before the Malay became
corrupted. Their language, probably, is now nearer to the old Malay
than the language at present in use by the Malays. Samoans have
lost the h and softened the %, and changed r into I ; but they almost
alone have retained the 8, and the language of politeness.
(2). Practical Directions to Europeans who are beginning to
LEARN Samoan. — Letters : (1) Pronounce vowels as in the Continenlal
languages, not as in English. (2) Pronounce every vowel distinctly,
whether short or long. A difference in the quantity or accent of a
vowel makes a difference in the meaning of the word ; e.g. m&ntt, a
bird ; manUf to rise above. (3) Of the consonants g is sounded like
Digitized

VIU
NOTES.
ng in the English word sing ; l, with aor u before it, and i after it, is
sounded as a soft r, almost as ad, (4) The ^ break," which stands f<ir
the dropping out of a consonant, usually k, must be carefully obseryed.
Accent. — The accent falls on the penultimate syllable. Names of
places at a distance, of families, and some oti^er words have a long
vowel at the end. A contracted syllable is always long, as le for le e.
The voice is raised on the last word of a sentence.
The Article, — 8e is equal to a or an, Eng. ; but le is often used by
Samoans where a is used in English ; as, le aUH Pat, Pai is a chief.
Nouns. — ^Verbs and adjectives, In their simple form, with *o le put
before them, are used as nouns. When a noun formed from a verb by
adding a suffix (ya, &c.) is used to express the idea of agency or
action, it takes the genitive preposition a, not o, after it; as, *0 U
faiga o le fale, the building of the house ; but *0 U faiga a fate, the
bmlders of the house. This rule generally regulates also the vowels
of the possessive pronouns 2ona, lana^ &c., and the dative preposition

LETTERS.
The Samoan alphabet proper oonaiflts of only foarteen letters: —
o, €, i, o, u ; /, g, I, w, n, p, «, t, v. The word u&u, a shout of triumph,
has something refy nearly approaching to the aspirate, as i^ uhuhii.
K is found only in puke I catch you; and its compound, puketdl
Becently, as in the Sandwich Islands, the t has come to be pronoimoed
as k in common conversation. In set speeches the proper pronun-
ciation is still, for the most part, obseryed.
A is pronounced —
1st, long, as in father; pa, a wall.
2nd, rathw short, as in mat ; patUima, to clap hands.
3rd, very short, nearly like U in smut; as mcUe, dead; mdliu,
dead ; vave, be quick.
The difference between long and short a is very observable in a
great many words, spelt in the same way, but having widely different
meanings ; as tamd, father ; tdma, cliild ; fd^amoega, a sheath ; fd^-
amoega^ a war feast ; mdnu, a bird ; mdnt^ to rise above.
The lesimer must pay special attention to the quantity of a. The
meaning is often dependent on the quantity ; as, pdpd, a rock ; papa,
to burst ; pdpd, to miscarry ; titafafine, a sister ; tuafdfine, sisters.
The third quantity is limited to a very few words.
E, i, Of u are pronounced as in Continental languages. Each of
them has both a long and short quantity; as pi^e, deJid ; tiga, pain;
Utl, girdle of ti ; popd, to pat ; pffpd, dry ; pUpU, ironbound coast
G (ngd) is always nasal, as ng m sing.
L (fib) the same as in English, except when preceded by either
a, 0, or w, and followed by t, when it is pronounced by most natives as
a soft r, almost approaching to a d sound, for which it is substituted,
in similar situations, in the pronunciation of New Zealand words ; aa
Mrikiri, pronounced kidikiai; so in Samoan aliali is pronounced
ariari ; oiioli is pronounced oriori ; uliuli as wn'ttW.
8 is not quite so sibilant as in English. It is called sa. The other
letters,/, w, n, p, f, v, called /a, mo, nw, pi^ ti, vi, are pronounced as in
English. Id. foreign introduced words k and r are retained, as KerisQ^
v^

karite, barley ; but d becomes f, as TavUa, David ; ph becomes /, as
Ferukiay Phrygia ; g and c hard become k, as Kerika, Greek ; KananOj
Canaan ; h is also retained at the beginning of some proper names ;
as Herotat Herod; z becomes s, Sakaria; to becomes u, UUiamut
William ; h becomes jp, Petatiia, Bethany.
In addition to these, there is a sound something between h and %,
and used in the place of the latter letter, as found in words in kindred
dialects ; as, u% paper-mulberry, in Nine, vka. This is represented
by an inverted comma, and is called a ** break."
Two similar vowels cannot occur together without a break between,
except in a few cases of compound words; as mcUaaJa, to watch;
mataalif to fall blighted ; mcUaaJi, a large fire, etc. ; on the contrary,
{igaaga is written, and pronounced agciga ; so alaala is oldla. When
two such vowels oome together in forming new words, or in com-
mencing a word with the vowel which terminates the preceding word,
and wil^h which it stands in close connection, they are pronounced by
a single impulse of the voice, as one long vowel ; as mata alofa (maJtd"
lofa% benevolent-Lx>king ; alofa atu, to love, pronounced akfdtu.
A few cases occur of the coalescence of different vowels ; as ma ona^ ,
for him, pronounced mona; ave atu, to take, contracted to avatu;
toiinay drawn, contracted from toeotna.
Every letter is distinctl;^ sounded, so that there are no improper
diphthongs. The proper diphthongs are au, as in aau, to come; at, as
in /at, to do; a6, as in mae^ to be stale ; ei, as in lelei, good ; on, as in
outouy you ; ue, as in aue, alas ! ^
No two consonants can come together without a vowel between.
All syllables are open, %,€., must end in a vowel.
Many natives are exceedingly careless and incorrect in the pro-
nunciation of consonants, ana even exchange or transpose them
without confusion, and almost unnoticed by their hearers ; as manti,
for ndmu, a scent ; lagoria for kigonaf to understand ; lava^au for vala^atty
to call ; but they are vnnj padiciilar about (he pronunciation o/ihevovoeU,
In some foreign namciS h is changed into 8 ; as Sapai for Hapai,
SYLLABLES.
Every syllable must end in a vowel. No ^syllable can consist of
more than three letters, one consonant and two vowels, the two vowels
making a diphthong; as /at, mat, tau. Roots are sometimes mono-
syllabic, but mostly dissyllabic. Polysyllabic words are nearly all
derived or compound words ; as nofogatd from nofo and gatd, difficult
of access ; ta^igdafi, from ta% to attend to the fire, and afi^ fire, the
hearth.
Aeoenl,
The general rule is that the accent is on the penoltima, but to this
there are exceptions. Many words ending in a long vowel take the
accent on the ultima ; as ma^eHega, sealous ; *ondy to be intoxicated ;
faigatcU difficult Verbs formed from nouns ending in a, and meaning to
abound in, have properly two a\ as |>ttaa (ptia'aa), pondy tomato, but

A SAMOAN GRAMMAR. 3
fire written with one. In speaking of a place at some distance, the
accent is placed on the last syllable; as *0 lo*o i Safotu^ he is at
Safotu. The same thing is done in referring to a family ; as «i Muli-
agdy the family of Muliaga. 2^o most words ending in ga^ not a sign
of a nonn, as Ugay puapuaguy polnga, fantaga, ugd. So also all words
ending in a dipnthon^, as mamau, mafai^ aoai.\
In speaking the voice is raised, aud the emphasis falls on the last
word in each sentence.
When a word receive an addition by meaos of an affixed particle,
the accent is shifted forward; as al^Ufa, love; alofdga, loving, or
showing love; alo/ag(a, beloved. Reduplicated words have two
accents ; as pdlapdUi^ mud ; s^gis^yi^ twilight. Compound words may
have even thi'ee or four, according to the number of words and affixes
of which the compound word is composed ; as tofdtwmodnaina, to be
engulfed.
The articles U and se are nnaccented. When used to form a
pronoun or participle, U and ae are contractions for 2e e, «6 e, and so are
accented ; as ^Oli ana le mea, the owner, lit the (person) whose (is)
tiie thing, instead of Ze e ana le mea. The sign of the nominative
'o, the prepositions o, a, t, e, and the euphonic particles i and te, are
unaccented ; as *0 t mauay ma te o atu ia te oe^ we two will go to yon.
Ind, the sign of the imperative, is accented on the ultima ; fna, the
sign of the subjunctive, on the pennltima. The preposition id is
accented on the ultima, the pronoun ia on the penuUima.
WORDS. .
1. The Abticlb.
The article le is both definite and indefinite ; at least it is constantly
nsed by the natives, where the English would require the indefinite
article ; def., *5 le Atua, God ; indef., *o le oliH Fai^ such an one is «
chief. On looking into such cases, it will be found that there is
something definite, from a native stiindpoint, which makes him use le
rather than se, as TJa tu mat le va% a canoe appears.
Se is always indefinite ; ta mat se la^au, cut me a stick.
The article is omitted before plural nouns, thus, *0 U tagata^ the
man ; ^0 tagatay men.
2. The Noun.
Names of natural objects, as men, trees, animals, are mostly priml^
tive nouns, as *0 le la, the sun ; *o le tagata, the man ; *o le talo, tare ;
*o le i*a, the fish; also manufactured articles, as mdtau, an axe, va*ay
canoe, tao, spear, f ah, house, etc.
Some nouns are derived from verbs by the addition of either go,
eaga, toga, ntaga, or ^aga : as tuli, to drive ; tuUga, a diiving ; Ivlu'u,
to fill the hand ; lu^utaga, a handful ; anu, to spit ; anusaga, spittle ;
tanu, to bury ; tanumaga, the part buried. These verbal nouns have
an active participial meaniug ; as '0 Ze faiga o lefale, the building of
the house. Often thej refer to the persons acting, in which case &ey
B 2

4 A SAMOAN GRAMMAR.
govern the next noun in the genitive with a ; *0 lefaiga afdU, con-
tracted into *o le faigdfal&, those who build the house, the builders.
In some cases verbal nouns refer to either persons or things done by
them : '0 le faiga a talo, the getting of taro, or the party getting the
taro, or the taro itself which has been got. The context in such cases
decides the meaning. Sometimes place is indicated by the termina-
tion ; as to/a, to sleep ; tofdga, a sleeping-place, a bed. *0 le ta*elega
is either the bathing-place or the party of bathers. The first would
take after it to govern the next noun, *0 le ta^eUga o le nu*u, the
bathing-place of the village ; the latter would be followed by a, 'O le
ta*elega a teine.
Sometimes such nouns have a passive meaning, as being acted upon;
*0 le taomaga a lau, the thatch that has been pressed; 'o lefaupu^ega
a ma^a, the heap of stones, that is, the stones which have been heaped
up. Those nouns which take *aga are rare, except on Tutuila;
gata^dga, the end; *amata^agay me beginning; ola^aga, lifetime;
misa^aga, quarrelling. Sometimes the addition of qa makes the signi-
fication intensive ; as tea, and timu, rain ; uagay and timuga, continued
pouring.
The simple form of the verb is sometimes used as a noun ; tntalo, to
pray ; *o le tatcUo, a prayer ; poto, to be wise ; 'o le poto, wisdom.
The reciprocal form of the verb is often used as a noun ; as *0 le
feahfani, *o femimiga, quarrellings (from misd), fe^umaiga ; e.g.j E
Idei le feahfani, mutual love is good.
A few diminutives are made by reduplication, as Paapa^ small
crabs ; pulepule, small shells ; liilii, ripples.
Adjectives are made into abstract nouns by adding an article or
pronoun ; as lelei, good ; ^o'le lelei, goodness ; silisili, excellent ; *o
hna lea silisilif that is his excellence.
Many verbs may become participle-nouns by adding ga; as sau,
come, eaitga, *0 lorm luai sauga, his first coming; mau to manga, *0 le
vnauga muamua, the first dw^ing.
Oender.
Gender is sometimes expressed by distinct names : —
'0 le aliH, a chief. -0 le tamaitaH, a lady.
*0 le tane, a man. *0 lefafine, a woman.
*0 le tama, a boy. '0 le teine, a girl.
*'0 le toa, a cock. *Q le matud moa, a hen.
*0 le po^a, a male animal. *0 le manufafine, a female animal.
When no distinct name exists, the gender of animals is known by
adding jjo*a and fafine respectively. The gender of some few plants
is distinguished by tane and fajine, *o le esi tane ; *o le esifafine. No
other names of objects have any mark of gender.
Number,
The singular number is known by the article with the noun ; as *o
le tama, a boy.
Properly tidere is no dual. It is expressed by omitting the article,
Digitized
by Google
A SAMOAN GBAMMAB. 5
und adding e lua for things, e toalua, two, for persons ; as ^ofale e lua,
two houses ; 'o le nu*u e tocUuOy two persons.
The plural is known — 1. By the omission of the article ; *o *uZm,
breadfruits. 2. By particles denoting multitude, as 'au, voo, tnoti, and
motUf and such plural is emphatic ; *o le *au t*a, a shoal of fishes ; *o le
eao tagatoy a forest of men, t.e., a great company ; *o le mou mea^ a
great number of things ; 'o le motu o tcLgcUa, a crowd of people. These
particles cannot be used indiscriminately ; motu could not be used
with fish, nor ^au with men. 3. By lengthening, or more correctly
doubling, a yowel in the word ; tuafafine^ instead of tua/afine^ sisters of
a brother. This method is rare.
CkLse,
This is indicated by particles and prepositions.
The Nominative case is shown by the particle *o; as *0 lefcUe tou
te tdu atu a», the house which ye shall enter. It is used before proper
names ; as *0 Tahiti. It is omitted when the nom. follows the verb ;
Ua cdu le va*a, the canoe is gone. But, in the verbal form, ona
followed by ai Zeo, the noun and pronoun may either take the 'o or
omit it; as Ona alu ai lea *o le tamaloa; Ona fai atu lea lo latou
iwjjafinie.
Genitive,
This is indicated by the prepositions a or o (soft). As to which of
these should be used, as well as the pronouns lati, lau, lona, lana, lo
and la matott, etc., it is difficult for a foreigner to know. There is no
general rule which wiU apply to every case. The governing noun
decides which should be used ; thus *0 le poto ^o le tufugay the wisdom
of the builder ; *Ole amio a le tama, the conduct of the boy ; upu o
Fagonoy words of Fagono (a kind of narrative and song); but upu a
tagaia, words of men.
The following hints may serve in some measure to guide as to
which some claSses of nouns govern :^-
I. O is used with —
1. Nouns denoting parts of the body ; fofoga o le ali% eyes of the
chief. So of ^bands, legs, hair, etc. ; except the beard, which takes a,
lana *ava ; but a chiefs is lona soesd.
2. The mind and its affections ; 'o le to'asd o le ali% the wrath of
the chief. So of the will, desire, love, fear, etcj; *0 le mana*o o le nu'w,
the desire of the land ; '0 le mata^u o le tama, the fear of the boy.
3. Houses, and all their parts ; canoes, land, country, trees, planta-
tions ; thus, pou o lefale, posts of the house ; hnafanua, lona nu^Uy etc.
4. People, relations, slaves; *o ona tagata, his people; *o lefaletua o
le ali*iy the chiefs wife. So also of a son, daughter, father, etc.
Exceptions, — Taney husband; avd, wife (of a common man), and
children, which take a ; lana avd ma anafanau,
5. Garments, etc., if for use ; ona *ofu. Except when spoken of as
property, riches, things laid up in store.

1. Words denoting oonduot, custom, etc. ; amio, masani, tu,
2. Language, words, speeches; gagana, upu, fetalaiga, afioga ; *0
le upu a le lama,
3. Property of every kind. Except garments, etc., for use.
4. Servauts, animals, men killed and carried o£f in war; lana

5. Food of every kind.

Except /ait;a, which takes o.
Somej words take either a or o ; as manalu, tcufi, *0 se tali a
MatautUy an answer given by Matautu; 'o se tali 'o Matautu, an
answer given to M.*
IrregtUariiies in the use of the preposition : —
(1). Nouns denoting the vessel and its contents do not take the pre-
position between them : *o le 'ato talo^ a basket of taro ; 'o lefale otoa^
a house of property, or store-house.
(2). Nouns denoting the material of which a thing is made : *Ole
tupe aurOf a coin of gold ; 'o le va^a if if a canoe of teak.
(3). Nouns indicating members of the body are rather compounded
with other nouns instead of being followed by a genitive : *0 le mata*
ivi, an eye of bone ; ^oleisu va% a nose of a canoe ; *o le gutu $u/mu, a
mouth of the sumu ; *o le loio alofa, a heart of love.
(4.) Many ofcher noans are compounded in the same way: ^0 le
apaau tane^ the male wing ; *o le pito pou, the end of the post.
(5). The country or town of a person omits the preposition : *0 le
tagata Samoa, a man of Samoa ; 'o le Tui'Manu% the king of Manuka.
(6). Nouns ending in a, lengthen (or double) that letter before other
nouns in the possessive form : ^Ole tud susu ; *o le magd aZo, or fimga a
aloy a branch road.
(7). The sign of the possessive is not used between a town and its
proper name, but the nominative sign is repeated ; thus putting the
two in apposition : *0 le *a^ai *o Matahtu.
Dative,
Mo and ma governing this case, usually signify /or; as au mai lea
ma a*t/, give that for, or to, me. Ma also means, on account o^
because ; sau if ale ma tela, come in, because of the sun. The same
rules govern the use of mo and ma^ as o and a in the genitive : *0 le 8ui
mo oiUou^ a substitute for you.
* In his *' Short Synopsis of Hawaiian Grammar/' Professor Alexander gives the
following mle for the ose of these prepositions : ** O implies a passiYe or intransitive
relation ; a, an active and transitive one. A can be need only hefrare a word denoting
a living person or agent, and implies that the thing possessed is his to make or act
upon, or is subject to his will ; while o implies that it is his merely to possess or use^
to receive or be affected by."

The aoonsatiye or objeotiye case follows the yerb withont any sign :
8eu lou va*af tnm or steer your canoe.
This case is goyemed also by the preposition i in, into, to ; io, to
peiBons ; and with pronouns. It mostly follows actiye yerbs : 8eu lou
va*a i le mea nei, steer your canoe to this place. It is also used in
sentences which require the addition of the yerb to he, or to hdve^ in
translating them ; Hta iate iale mea, the property is to him; that is,
he has it.

This is indicated by e. Sometimes it retains the article ; le aliH e ;

3. ABJBonyEs.
Some adjectives are primitiye, as umi, long; poto, wise. S(Hne
formed from nouns by the addition of a, like y in English ; as word,
wordy ; thus, *eZe'e?e, dirt ; 'eZc'eZea, dirty ; pcdapala, mud ; palapaldy
muddy. Others are formed by doubling the noun ; a^i pona, a knot ;
ponapona, knotty; fatut a stone ; fatufatua, stony. Others are formed
by prefixing /a*a to the noun ; as *o le tu fa^asaima^ a Samoan custom.
Like ly in English, the fa^a often expresses similitude; *o le amio
fa'aptia% swinish conduct. In one or two cases a is prefixed; as
apulupulu, sticky, from puluy resin ; avanoa^ open ; from va and noa.
Verbs are also used as adjectives : 'o le cdafaigatd, a difficult road;
'o le vai tafe, a riyer, flowing water ; *o le la^au ola, a live tree ; also
the passive : *o le aliH mata^utia.
ma is the prefix of condition, eae, to tear ; masde, torn ; as, '0 ^ i^e
masae, torn cloth ; Ooto, to sink ; magoto, sunk ; 'o le va^a magotOf a
sunken canoe.
A kind of compound adjective is formed by the. union of a noun with
an adjective ; as 'o Ze tagata lima malosiy a strong man, lit. the strong-
handed man ; 'o le tagata loto vaivai, a weak-spirited man.
Noims denoting the materials out of which things are made are
used as adjectives : 'o U mama auto,, a gold ring ; *o U faU ma% a
stone house. Or they may be reckoned as nouns in the genitive. (See
Syntax.)
Adjectives expressive of colours are mostly reduplicated words ; as
stnasi'na, white ; vliuli, black ; samasaTna, yellow ; .^ena^ena^ brown ;
mUmii, red, etc. ; but when they follow a noun they are usually found
in their simple form ; aa^o le *ie Hna, white cloth ; *o le ptm^a tdi, a
black pig. The. plural is sometimes distinguished by doubling the
first syllable ; as sirm, white ; plural, sisina ; tele, great ; pi. tetele. In
compound words the first syllable of the root is doubled ; as maudluga,
lugh ; pi. maualvliLga. Occasionally the reciprocal form is used as a
plural ; as lele, fiying ; *o Tnanu felM, flying creatures, birds.
Comparison is generally effected by using two adjectives, both in
the positive state ; thus e leUi lenei, *a e leaga lend, this is good — ^but
that is bad, not in itself, but in comparison with tbe other ; e umi lenei,
a epuupuu Una, this is long, that is short.
The superlative is formed by the addition of an adverb, such afi
mattid, tasi, aili, silisili^ese a*ia% na*ud ; as ^ua lelei tasi, it alone is
good — that is, nothing equals it. ^Ua maiud silisili ona 2eZei,it is very
exceedingly good ; *i«a tde na^ud, it is very great. Silisili ese, highest,
ese, differing from all others.
Natid has often the meaning of ^* too much '' ; ua tele naudy it is
greater than is required.

The cardinals are :—
E tasi, one. E lima, five.
E lua, two. E ono, six.

E sefvlu ma le lua^ twelve. E selau, one hundred.
E luafidu, or e lua sefuluy E lua lau^ two hundred.

E tolugafulti, thirty. E afe, one thousand.
Efdgafuluy forty. E lua a/e, two thousand.
E limagafulu, fifty. • E toluga^fe, three thousand.
EonogafulUf sixty. E mano^ ten thousand.
E mano is the utmost limit. The natives do not say, e lua mano^
but all beyond mano is manomanoy ilu ; that is, innumerable.
Hazlewood, in his Fijian Grammar, regards the particle 6 as a kind
of article. It would seem rather to be the verbal particle, because the
numerals take ua and sa, instead of e; as, ua valu^ there are eight.
When joined to noims of time e is omitted before the numeral : ''E po
fitu, seven nights, but, Efttu o matou po, our nights are seven.
*' Numerals in the Melanesian languages are used as nouns, adjectives,
and verbs.'* (Oodrington, p. 237.) E sefulu, it is tenned ; here it is
a verb.
Ordindle,
*0 le muamua, or *o le uLua% first.
*0 le lua, second.
*0 le tolu, third, etc.
Months are counted diflferently after the second—
* le toluga Tnasina, the third month.
le fdga masiTM, the fourth month, etc., up to the ninth, after
which the ordinary counting is followed.
The numeral adverbs, once, twice, etc., are expressed by atu ; as O
le atu tasi, once ; 'O le atu lua, twice, etc.
Another method is by prefixing /a'a ; as Ua 'ou eau fd*alua, I have
oome twice.
Distributives are formed by prefixing taH; as taHtasi, one by one,
one at a time; ta^Uima, five each, or by fives. To^a is added in
ooimting persons ; as ta^ito^alua, two at a time, or in pairs,
t •Thicfaiesses of things doubled, or folds, are expressed by prefixing
to the cardinal number sdviiui; as sdutualua, doubled; sdutv^atdUf
threefold, etc.
Very many things are counted each in its own peculiar way. A
knowledge of tius is absolutely necessary, as* being always .used by
the natives, and also to prevent mistakes ; thus, to say, 'o i^a e ly^dau^
instead of meaning two hundred, would mean only two.
The following are the principal forms : —
Men are counted by prefixing to^a: e to^atasi, one; e to'atinoa"
gafvlu, ten.
Yoimg pigs and cocoa-nuts by affixing oa, or in couples ; as e lua-
oa, four; e /dgaoa, eight. The odd one being expressed separately;
thus, popo e onogaoa ma le popo e tasi, thirteen.

4. Pbonouns.
These are declined by means of the same particles and prepositions
as the noun, except the accusative, which takes the preposition used
with proper names, and in addition an euphonic particle te,ea late a%
ia te *ottZiia. That it is merely euphonic seems proved by its absence
in kindred dialects ; 0.a., Tahitian and Niuean. The first and third
persons, dual and plural, in every case take i before the pronoun ; as
'o i maua.
The dual is formed firom lua, usually by eliminating the Z, and
prefixing to, ma, ^ou, la; as tdua, mduay ^ouZua, Idua,
The plural is formed firom tou, a contraction of tolu, which appears
in Nine and Tongan, mautdlu. To this is prefixed the particles, to,
ma, *ou, la; M tatou, matoUy ^oittou, Idtou. The same rules which
regulate the o and a before the genitive of the noun regulate also
their use with the pronoun.
The inclusive form of the pronoun is used when two or more persons
speak of themselves inclusively ; as Tdtou te o, let us go. The ex-
elusive form is used by two or more persons speaking of themselves to
a third party not included : Ua mdtou o max ia te *oe, we are come
to you.
The sign of the nominative, 'o, is subject to the same rales as in
the nouna— except the third person. For euphony the *o is sometime^
used after the verb : JJa cUu *o ia, He is gone.

5. Vbbbs.
Most of the verbs are primitive or underived words; as <«, to
stand ; tio/o, to sit. Compound verbs are readily formed by prefixing
fa^a or /tt*afe ; as fa^aleaXofa, to love but little, lit, like not loving.
Others are formed by prefixing mata ; as maiaita, angry -looking. So
also with loto ; as *ua totdleaga, he is evil di8i)osed. And so with many
other words. Many nouns may be turned into verbs by adding the
verbal particles: as loto, tlte heart; ua loto, he desires; ita, anger;
t<a ita o ia, he is angry ; pva^a. pig ; fa^apua% swinish.
Some few verbs are foriDed from prepositions ; as lumana% from
lama; tv4ina% to have passed Tiehiml, from iua, behind; lugaluga%
from luga.
The reduplication of the first syllable, as with ihe adjective, makes
the i)lural. Tlie reduplication of both syllables gives a diminutive or
frequentative force to the verb : —
Freq. and Dim.
folofolo,
galugalu,
patipati,
vehvelo.
nofonofo,
*€mo'€7no.
umiumi
In words of three syllables, when the last, or two last, ax«
doubled, the first vowel is usually lengthened; as mjaruitu^ to
think; m^naiwfuUu; manu% mdnunu*a; manifi, mdnifinifi; savali,
eavalivali.
An examination of the roost common verbs in the Samoan shows
that the plural is formed in nine different ways, as under : —

61 are the same in both singular and plural numbers.
33 take the prefix /e and a sufi^ which ends in i.

Ona ifl used before verbs to form a participle : E tuai <ma sau. His
coming is delayed.
THE PASSIVE.
The passive is formed by suffixing to the root one of the following
particles : ina, ia, a, fia, gta, lia, mia, sia^ tia. Euphony regulates
the choice of the particle in each particular word. If the word will
admit of it, it is shortened ; thus, muinat to be burnt ; tuluia, from
tutulu, to be leaked upon ; ea^ilia, to be sought ; inofia^ from inoino, to
be demanded of ; alofagic^ to be beloved ; toii2ia, to be fought ; si^omia,
to be surrounded ; Hnosia, from HnoHno, to be hated ; jp^utia, from
pupulu, to be mediated with.
The formation of the passive, like the formation of the plural, is
very complicated. No rule can be given to guide the learner.
Euphony alone seems to regulate the choice of the particle in each
word. And euphony may be one thing to a native, and another thing
to a European learning the language. In order to help learners, I give
below lists of many of the moat common verbs, except those which
form the passive in irui, which are the most numerous. In the diction-
ary, where the passive form of a verb is not given, it may, as a rule,
be taken for granted that it is in ina. The gpreater part of the verbs
which take the causative prefix (see next section) also form the passive
in ina. In the following lists those forms which are most largely used
come first.

The Caueative^ like Hiphil in Hebrew.
This is formed by prefixing /a*a to the root ; as tupu, to ^w ;
fa*(Uupu, totsause to grow. 1. Fa% like /a, also denotes a diminished
degree ; as lata, to feel at home ; le tatd, not feeling at home ; fa^ale-
lata, to be not quite at home. 2. It is also used to maik compadison ;
as fa^aiamaitiilU to act like a child. 3. Some of this class of verbs are
used intransitively; as fa*amalo8i, to strengthen oneself. 4. It
changes the noun to a verb, as %u, a handle ; fa^a^au le to% to put a
handle to the axe. 5. It changes the adjective to a verb, by making
the thing to be what is expressed by the adjective ; as Uva^ IcOig ;
fa^aleUvOy to make long. 6. It changes intransitive verbs to transitive,
as cla, to live ; fa*adla, to deliver. 7. Sometimes it Is prefixed to
verbs apparently without altering the meaning, aS pot^tOf fa^a-
potopoto, to ^tber together.
This and Sie following form are declined just as the simple, active,
and passive forms of the verb : —
1. Ou tefa*€Uupu, 1 cause to grow.
2. E te/a^atupu, you cause to grow.
3. Na tefa^atupu, he causes to grow.
* The Inteneivey like Piel.
Continued action is denoted by prefixing tau; as tawau, to
endeavour to come ; taufa*atupu, to continue to cause to grow.
Intensity is also indicated by reduplication ; as mu, to bum ; mumii,
to bum brightly. On the contrary, reduplicatii^ is also used to
indicate diminished action ; galu, to be rough ; galugdlu, to be some-
what rough (of the sea). The simple root only is doubled, as 9u^e9u%
aHaai, but not a prefix ; savilivUi, ma*anuminumi, ma*e*a*e*a.
The suflBx aHnd also denotes intensity of action; fataHna, to be
overcome, surpassed; tdeaHne^t to hurry on ; <«2»a*tfUi, to drive on.

twi, to sit ba<^ to back.
To take along with a person is expressed by suffixing <aH\ or saH;
as mo^€ta% to run with a thing ; *au8a% to swim with a thing. Also
by l^e preposition ma, with, as a a*u alu ma a^u ; lit, I will go with
me, for, I will go with it.
The suffix aH (interposing a consonant when euphony requires)
makes the meaning emphatic; as nofoaH, lafoa% leoleosaH, uLiga%
aiofaH.
Ma prefixed to an active verb makes it neuter ; as sasa'a, to pour
out, to spill; ma8a*a, spilt. Or it denotes ability; as ma/at, to be
able ; *ua mS mdrtava, he can breathe. The full form, however, is
much better, *Ua mafaiona mdnava.*
The prefix gd expresses equality or companionship ; as gatusa, to be
equal ; gdtasi, to be together ; gdsolo, to glide along. It occurs only in

SYNTAX.
The Abtiole.
Every noun in the singular, except proper names, must take the
article, because its omission makes the noun plural ; m *o le tagata^
the man ; 'o tagata, men.
Nouns of multitude take the article ; as 'Ua tele le i*a i U mea net.
There are many fish in this place ; *Ua tu*ua le fa^apotopotoga^ The
assembly is dismissed.
The article, with the name of a country, indicates a man of that
country ; as *o Ze /Samoa, a Samoan.
The definite article is used when the noun has been previously
mentioned: Exod. ii. 7, 9, *0w te alu *ea e *a*ami se fafinei . . .
Ona ave lea *o le tama e le fafine. Shall I go and fetch a woman ? . . .
then the child was taken by the woman.
The article is used as a pronoun ; as *o fe *fwi alofaj the one who
loves. It is often used where the English would put the indefinite
article ; as, 8a i ai le taaata ^ua gase lona lima. There was there a
man who had a withered, hand. It was not any man, but one par-
ticular individual, definitely marked by his withered hand.
An appellative, used to signify a whole class, takes the definite
article : Ps. 144, 3, Seaeale tagatai What is man? So in describing
different fishes, etc., as, *o 26 atyie, *o le atule, 'o le malavli, etc., the
mullet, the herring, the schnapper. Abstract nouns are used in the
same way ; as, *0 & inata^u ma tefefe^ Fear and dread.
' The article is used with a verb to form a participial noun : *0 le
saw /a*aZMa fenet, This is the second coming.
The definite article is used when the object is definite in the mind
of the speaker, though not previously mentioned : Ona vaaia lea e
8ina 'o le gogo sina^ It was that bird, and no other, present to her
mind.
The whole, totality, takes the article: *0 le atoatoa *o le aofa%
The whole of the gathering. Also with Umu, thus making it a noun :
*0 U tonu Unei, This is the correct (account).
Proper names, derived from some peculiarity of the place or person,
have the article ; as, '0 Lepapalauldei ; *o LetuHtuasivi,
The article is used before verbs to form a participle ; as 'o Ze a maUu
mai, the comiog one. The plural is formed by changing leio e; as
*o e *ua oti, those dead.
The article is omitted after the expression e fai ma; as e fai ma
tatda, to become an anchor, or to be instead of an anchor. With the
article before the noun, in such a connection, an indecent meaning is
conveyed.
The article is also used to form the participles : *0 le a a'u alu, I
am going ; *o le na alu, the (one) who went. It is then a relative
pronoim. Gen. 21, 3.
The article is used with the units in counting; e sefvlu ma Ufa, ten
and the four. The omission of the article in this case would make an
indecent word. The article is also used with tens and hundreds when
Digitized

A SAMOAN GRAMMAR. 29
coming after a larger number ; as e selauy ma U luafvluj ma le lima, a
hundred, and the twenty, and the five.
The indefinite article se is much more restricted in its use than the
English a or an. When the idea is definite in the speaker's mind, the
le is used ; as 8a i le nu^u o TJsa le tarn tagata. There was in the land
of Uz a certain man. Only when the object is entirely indefinite,
answering to any, is se used ; as ^Oufutia se i*a, se lautua, I will draw
up a fish, one from outside the reef.
8e follows verbal particles, used to signify the verb to 6e, and having
a comparative meaning ; as*Ma se umulefale net, this house is like
a cooking house. Se is also used before verbs in such sentences as
*o sefia cdu, any one who desires to go ; in full, *o se efia alu, or *o se
tasi efia alu. Perhaps of late use is se with Ulei: E Uai se Idei i le
aiga nei, There is nothing good in this family.
Nouns.
The singular noun is sometimes used instead of the plural.
1. Nouns of multitude : *Uao mai le nu^u, The people have come.
2. Where one stands for a class : E fa^amlaina le pa^ta, The
criminal will be punished.
The Nominative.
The nominative usually follows the verb; Hia sau le tamaloa^ the
man is come. When it precedes the verb it is emphatic, and requires
to be followed by a pronoun after the verb : —
Filmlwpo ma Lemaluosamoa,
Avatu i laua efaima oso,
Filoilupo and Lemaluosamoa,
Take these two for food.
Nouns standing in apposition, whatever case the first may be in, all
the subsequent ones are in the nominative ; as Na e ta^i i lau tane, *o
le gogo sina. You cried out for your husband, the white tern.
Every noun, word, or sentence standing as a nominative absolute
requires the *o before it ; as *0 hna fa^ato'a sau lenei. This is his first
coming:, or visit.
The *o is inserted — 1. After the adversatives *a and peitaH; *a *o i
matou, matou te o, as for us, we will go. 2. In making comparisons ;
*0 U saito, *o le afi^ga lea a le Atua, The wheat, that is the word of
God. 3. Mostly after the verbal particles, ona . . . ai lea; as Ona
fetalai atu ai lea *o ta, Then he said. 4. After a verb, with the
pronoun ia ; as *Ma cdofa tele mai *o ta, he loves greatly. 5. Before
proper names following? titles ; as ^0 2e oZ«*i, *o Midiaga. le oHiH
Mtiiaga would mean, Muliaga is a chief.
The *o is omitted — 1. Before a descriptive noun in apposition : *o
Joane le papatiso, John the Baptist. 2. It is usually omitted when
the verb precedes it ; as ' Ua taugagaifo le Za, The sun is towards the
west. 3. After the conjunctive ma; 'ole tane ma le fafine, the man
and the woman. 3. It is often omitted in poetry : FagaWi ma Selea
lefanttaf Fagali'i and Selea, the land.
The nominative absolute stands in the beginning of a sentence
without a verb ; as *o Ze Atuaf e sao lava lona ala, God, his way is
perfect.

The Chnitive,
The genitiye of material is made by patting the nouns in appo-
sition; 'o ipu aurOf cups gold. Also nouns signifying the use to
which a thing is applied : *o le fale oloa^ a house of go^, in which
goods are stored. Things contained in a vessel omit the *o ; as *ole
*ofo mast, a basket of man ; *o le fagu u*Uy a bottle of oil. The noun
governing the second noim appears to be understood in such sentences
as TJafai mat a ia, for Uafai mat le upa^ He spoke his word. XJafai
mai a le fafine^ i.e., U upu alefafine. The woman spoke her word. E
*e8e le puptda 'o le tan fetu i lo le tasi fetu. for i le puptUa *o le ta^i
fetu; where le and *o is contracted into to, and pupula understood.
The shining of one star differs from the shining of another star. < J la
le AtfJUZf for ^I mataupu a le Atua^ The word concerning Grod.
The Dative.
The dative is used to signify — 1. For the benefit of, or for the use
of; as au mai ma a^u, give it for me, for my use. Au mai ia te a'u
would merely mean to hand over something to his care, but not
necessarily for him. 2. On account of; sau ma le la, come in, on
account of the sun. 3. The dative is also used to signify — on account
o^ for the sake of; *0a te le fa^aumaiia ona *o i laiou, I will not
destroy it for their sakes.
The Accusative,
Two or more accusatives may follow a verb ; ma efai ai taulaga mu
ia leova hu Atim i ona luga. Sometimes one noun takes another
noun aft^ it in the accusative, with a preposition ; ^Ole tola i ta^ata^
A narrative concerning men; *0 le mapu i sda^ A whistling from
breathlessness ; *0 U tino ifili, The principal enemy. The preposition
is often omitted after the verb ; *0 leovay na te foa^i mai le jpoto,
Jehovah, he will give vrisdom.
The Vocative.
This, in prose, stands in the beginning of a sentence. In poetry it
may be placed at the end ; Fa*atali atu e, Tagipo, Wait, O Tangipo.
The e, the sign of the vocative, is often omitted ; Soufuna Sina, le tama-
fafinel Woman, Sina, the daughter. When two vocatives are con-
nected by the conjunction ma, the e is omitted after tiie second ; Tui e
ma Tui I Tui and Tui ! Sometimes a pronoun is u^ed in such cases
before the second noun ; AliH e, ma outou tulafale, Chiefs, and you
heads of families.
In poetry the sign of the vocative is used after verbs and seiitence» ;
as Fa^atali atu e 1 Oh, wait !
The Ablative,
With, along with, is designated by the use of the conjunction ma; aa
Lua te o ma ia^ go you two, and he — that is, go with him ; tatou te o
ma a% let us go with me ; tatou te o ma *06, let us go with you. The
use of 6, by, is rarely allowed to inanimate things; ^Ua le ^aina e le
leona, He was not eaten by the lion ; but *{7a lelea i le matagij He was
carried away in the wind.

One noun follows another in the ablative, governed by t ; as, '0 le
vai i le fagu. The water in the bottle; *0 le *ato i lona lima, The
basket in his hand ; '0 le manu i le la^au. The bird in the tree. A
peculiar idiom is ui a tUa, to go by land. So also, nqfo a tolu, seated
py three (in a canoe). *0 le pu i pa, a hole in a wall, seems aa
tiiough the plural were used for the singular.
Adjeotivxs.
The adjectlye follows the noun, and agrees with it in number ; as
*o le fale lelei, a good house; *o talo tetele, large taro. When two
adjectives qualify one noun, the second takes the article, and thus, ia
fact, becomes a noun; ea *o le ta^ata nudoti ma le ^aiUelei, a strong
man, and good-looking. The same is the case even with a plural
noun, the second being in the singular form; 'o va^a fou ma le Idei^
new canoes, and (the) good.
One adjective cannot qualify two nouns, but must be repeated with
each ; 'o aposetolo pa*ia, ma perofeta paHa, holy apostles, and holy
I^rophets.
The pronominal adjective lenei may either precede or follow the,
noun; as *o lenei lefaXe, or ^o lefale leiiei, this is the house.
Comparison.
There is no real superlative. The idea is expressed in various
ways ; E sUiaili ^ese lava leova, Jehovah is exceedingly excellent ; *0 le
fa^ato*a fale tde lenei. This is the first big house ; ^Va tasi lava le va^a.
The canoe is unique ; *l7a Uaga na^'ud le *upu, The saying is too bad ; *0
le U80 aupito itiiti, The brother, the last of the little ones.
Sometimes it is expressed by repeating the adjective, and adding the
intensive particle lava ; E Ua^a, leaga lava, It is bad, very bad.
Numerals,
There are different ways of counting ; thus, besides those already
given, e tolugafuLu i lefa, thirty-four, lit, thirty in the four; e limaga'
fulu ma ona tupu e fitu, e ono s^ulu a% fifty and seven over towards
the sixty. *0 le aso lima, the fifth day ; but <0 le tausaga e fitu, the
seventh year. With months ga is added; *0 lona onoga masina lenei,
this is her sixth month. Numerals may either precede the noun, as
e tolu 080 ; or follow, as *o a^o e tolu, three days. Odd numbers are
expressed as above by the phrase ma ona tupu, and that which is over ;
*o mdtau e sefulu ma ona tupu e lima, ten fish-hooks, and five over.
Rpund numbers are expressed by *a*ato, from *atoa, complete ; e
luaftdu *a*aio, twenty complete. In things counted by couples, an odd
one is expressed by fai soa ; *o popo e limaga oa ma le fdi soa, five
couples of nuts, and an odd one.
Peculiar among the distributives is the sentence ^Ua taHtasi *uma
ma aXUf Each and all went
A kind of distributive is expressed by a; as, 8au a aiga. Come by
families.

Pbonouns.
The pronoun is put in the nominative absolute for emphasis, and is
then repeated with the verb ; as *a *o ^oe, ia *e fai aiut but as for you,
you say. The possessive pronoun precedes tlie noun ; as *o Uma fale^
his house. In quoting the words of another, the person of the
pronouns is usually changed from the indirect to the direct; as *l7a
fai mat *o ia *0u te alu^ He told me that I should go ; very seldom
^Uafai mat *o ia, '■E te alu *oe, He told me. You go.
When it follows the verb, the *o of the nominative is usually
dropped ; *Ua seae i mdtou nei, We are in fault. On the contrary, it is
always used with ia^ third person singular. E le toe $au lava *o ia.
He will not come again. Euphony seems to direct this usage.
The relative is often understood in Samoan : *Ole la*au lea na a*u
liaHina, That is the plant I pulled up. In this case the passive ter-
mination seems to supply the place of ai. More commonly it is
expressed by ai : *0 le mea lava lenei na a^u mana^o ai, This is the
thing which I wanted.
*0 le mea lea, therefore, and se a le mea, wherefore, are always
followed by ai after the verb ; as '0 Ze mea lea na a*u sau ai, That is
why I came.
The interrogative pronoun is much used instead of direct negation :
*0m te alu *o le di What should I go for? instead of, I will not go;
E ilea e ai f Who knows ? I don't. The interrogative pronoun 'o ai is
used in asking a person's name : *0 ai lona igoa ? fit : Who is his name ?
Verbs.
Generally a verb agrees with its nominative case in number.
1. Exception. Nouns of multitude take a plural verb; as ^ua
mamate le lafu, the herd are dead.
2. In some cases the verb agrees with its object in number ; as Ja *e
tutuli iatei Idtou, Drive thou them ; here the verb is plural.
To accompany or do something with another is expressed by the dual
or plural verb ; as Lua te o mai ma Mareko, lit. You two come and Mark,
bring Mark with you ; Td te nono/o, lit^ Let us two sit, sit with me ; Pe
tdfou te *ea ma i mdtou f Shall we (inclusive) go with us (exclusive) ?
Will you go with us ? Pe tdtou teo'eam^b outou f May we go with you ?
The usual historic tense is expressed by *ua. Very often in nar-
rating a tale *o will be used, as if bringing the events before the
hearer's eyes. Na tago i le lautUu *o le aitu, ua ave le tasi fuafuati
lauulu, ua nonoa, He took hold of the hair of the aitu, he took one
lock and bound it.
Peculiar idioms are, ^Uamalold, He is well — ^that is, he has recovered
from sickness ; '0 mdldld *ca ? Is he well — that is, does he continue in
a state of health ?
Verbal Particles.
^Ua is used to sijjnify the present with neuter verbs; as^Ua iagi
lo*u loto, My heart weeps ; *Ua 'ou tulaH atu, I am standing up ; *Ua
*ou nofo iHnei, 1 am sitting here.
Digitized
by Google
A SAMOAN GRAMMAR. 33
Na and sa mark the imperfect tense ; as Na ^ou lefai atu ^ea ia te
^oe f did I not tell you ? na otiy *a 'ua toe da mai^ he was dead, but is
alive again. 8a is very rarely to be fouud in old tales, etc., " *0 le
Pito/au o Tuu sa lavaLava mat" There seems to be little or no
(liiTereiice between the two particles.
E, besides marking the future, is also used with verbs signifying
quality or condition, without respect to time; as E silUili leooa,
Jehovah is very great ; E lelei le poto^ wisdom is good.
The third person singular changes the pronoun ia into na for
euphony inatele mafai^ he is unwilling, la is also sometimes heard :
la te iavaiia tai tetele, he is able to receive high tides (i.e. number of
visitors).
Ona before the verb, followed by at lea aft^r the verb, is used in a
dependent sentence, and is either past or future, according to the tense
preceding it; as *Ua sau ^o ia, ona matou o mai ai Zeo, he came, and
then we came ; *A sau *o ia, ona matou o mai ai lea^ if he comes, or
when he comes, then we will come.
The Imperatioe.
Ind is used in positive commands : ia is precative ; as ind sau ia,
come ; ia *e sau, do you come. For intensity the verb is repeated,
followed by ia ; alu, ind dlu ia, or alu ia, ind alu, go, begone.
The future tense is also used as an imperative ; e te alu lava oe, you
sball go. The formal ind and ia are oftun dispensed with ; o ia outou,
go you. Especially is this the case when the verb is repeated ; o, ind
o, go, be off. Peculiar is sau, ind alu, come, go.
The Infinitive,
The infinitive is rather confined in its use ; *0u te alu e ta*ele, I go to
bathe ; but also, *ou te alu, *ou te ta^ele, I go, I bathe. More common
than the infinitive is the use of particles, ia, H'na ia, ona ia making a
subjunctive ; as na iafa^aeaina le ^ua mativa, ^fna iafa*anqfo, &c., he
exalted him that was poor, that he mignt cause him to sit ; *a *ua
lemafai *o ia ona fa^alogo ia te ia, but he was not willing that he
should hear him.
The infinitive sometimes takes i instead of e ; as *ou te musui alu, I
will not go, lit, I am unwilling in (in the matter of) going.
Directive Particles.
Verbal directives are mai, atu, ane, ifo, a*e, ese. Mai afttr the verb
denotes direction towards the speaker ; as o mai ia te a*u, come to me.
Atu is direction from the speaker ; o atu ia lose/a, go to Joseph. A
nice distinction, not readily comprehended by foreigners, is found in
*a^ami mai, to fetch from the speaker, in order to take somewhere ;
*a*ami atu, to go and fetch from a distance, in order to bring it. So
also difficulty is found with /a*atew mai, to buy; fa^atau atu, to stU ;
*Ua Hoa mai i tatou, they can see us; *Ua ^ou iCua atu le va% I can

866 tli6 canoe ; ^Ua Zo^wmi mai i iatou « •* litou, ihey hear 110 ; *ua 'ou
lagona atu^ I CdH hear.
In doocribing boundarifcA, if the speaker is within the honnda, he
will say, E pau mai [LeaUUeU^ e pau mai [SafUu], If he is outside
the hounds then, E pau mai ISa/otu}, pau aiu i ISatina^ ; the
nearest, mat ; the farthest off, atu,
Ane is indirect, along, aside ; *ua alu ane i le aJa, he has gone along
in the road ; ^Ua alu ane i le/aie^ he has gone aside to the house.
Ifo is direction downwards ; sa E oi/o i Idtou i le tu*uga/mau, they
go duwn to the graye ; Se'i *ou *at ifo^ let me eat down, is peculiar.
J*e is direction upwards; as *Ua Ide a^e U manu^ the hird has
flown up.
*E9B is away, away from; o 'eM, hegone. Doubling it makes it
mean in different directions; *C7a o 'ese^flse, they have gene one in one
wa} , one in another.
Accusative wUhoui a Preposition.
Many Terhe in Samoan Q* the definite transitive '') govern an acciisa-
tive directly, without any interrening preposition : wi ''Ua na au mai
le tola Idety he hrought good news. Verbs signifying to lay up in
store, to lay aside, tu put off, thus take the accusative ; 'Uaio '•eee lona
*o/tt, he lias put off his garment. Definite transitive yeibs omit the
article he fore the noun govemtd by them. Verlsof plenty; as 'ua
ma^ talo, there is ahnndance of laro. Verbs of scarcity : *ua oge mea,
destitute of goods. Verhs of eating ; *Ua *ai talo, he eats tare ; of buy-
ing and selling: *Ua /a^atau *oloa, he selld goods; of making or
building: ^Ua fai faJe^he builds houses; of journeying: ^Ou te alu
mala^a, I am going a journey. ^Ou te alu i le malaga would mean, 1
am going with a party of travellers. Adding the article makes the
object definite ; as e fai le fale, to build the house. TaH suffixed
m ans with, as moeta% to run with.
Verbs with two Accusatives.
Some Terhs take two nouns after them, one in the accusative, and
the other governed by a preposition. Amongst these are all causative
verhs ; as *I7a Idtou /a*atumuina le nu^u % le saud^ they filled the land
with oppression. Also verhs meaning to anoint, to plant, to stone, to
feed. Sometimes each objective has a preposition, sometimes only
one : ^XJanafa a^ofu ia te ia i le He vavae, he clothed him with (otton
cloth; ^Ua ufiufi lona ulu i le piilout he covered his head with a hat.
The repetition of a verb followed by its opposite denotes continu-
ance ending in its opposite ; vevela, veveLa^ ma^alili^ after being hot it
hecomes cold. The alternation is denoted by reversing the order;
ma^aliliy ma'alilif vevela, after being cold it is hot.
Very peculiar is the use of a noun with a verbal particle ; qb*Ou te
te teine ^ea ? am I a girl ? * Z7a *o Toe, it is [like] Toe.
Passive verbs take after them the nominative, and the agent in the
ab at've ; as la fa^atoina i mdtou e «a, he has cursed us, or, we are
cursed by him.

A SAMOAir GRAMMAR. 35
Verbs having a passive form are made aetive by placing tbe pronoun
before them : la outou tu^uina atu outou i Is Atua, yield yourselves te
God. This form of the verb renders unnecessary the relative ai ; la *e
manatua le aso sapati^ *e te fa^apaHaina, or, e /a^apa*ia a<, or Hna ia
fa'apaHaina, Remember the Sabbath day to keep it noly.
Participlei.
These, like verbs, take a noun after them governed by a preposition :
*0 2r/o ^alagajictfia lo*u loto ma lo*u Hno i le Atua wiftui. My heart and
my flesh are joyfully shouting to the living God. The bare* participial
particle 'o Wo is used for the verb to be ; 'O lo'o ia te^oe lona mahsij
His strength is in Thee.
The use of the participle is confined to that which is now actually
in progress ; as 'o lo*o sau, he is now coming — ^that is, he is on the way.
Then when he or it has actually come, '«a is added ; *0 h^o *ua tea, it
is now raining. The future paiticiple is expressed hy ^ole d; as^ole
afa^a^wnatia le ''a*ai, the city is alx)ut to be destroyed. A peculiar
use of •© foV) is in reference to tlie existence of G<xi : *0 fo*o toiftia le
Atua, God lives. Other attributes take e : E polo lava o ta. He is
wi^e.
Very many verbs are used also as adve»bs ; as *Z7a tu eipa, it stands
slantingly ; *Ua moe nofOy he sleeps sitting.
Particles,
Particles of negation : e leai (like the Hebrew particleX signifies
non-existence ; as e leai se leiei, there is nothing good. It is also u'^ed
for denial. No ! Etefiaaluf E Uai, do you wish to go ? No. It takes
the verbal particles ; as sa leai, there was not ; ^ua leai, tliere is not
E leH leai is used in a diminutive deprecatory way ; thus, in answer
to the question. Have you brouglit a payment ? answer, E leH leai.
LeH besides being used with the perfect tense, has also the meaning
" not yet " (nondum) ; E leH aJu le va*a, the canoe has not yet gone,
leaving it to be implied that it will go at some future time ; *ua le alu,
it lias not gone, and may not go at all.
A negative question is answered by an affirmation ; as 'Ua ^ alu *ea
le malagai Has not the party left? ioe, *Ua le alu, yes, it has not
gone ; or, e leai, *ua alu.
*Aua is prohibitive; it is strengthened by neH; as *aua neH alu, do
not by any means go. NeH is also used alone : neH e alu, lit. lest you
go. It is strengthened by mao : NeH e moo alu, beware lest you go.
Le does not require the repetition of the verb in the second clause of
a sentence ; as la outou saHli % le lelei, ^a e le^ole leaga, seek ye the
good, but not the bad.
Particles of limitation are na *o, tau ; as na *o manu, na ave ma
matou, only the caitle we took for ourselves. Tau is more subjective
in its meaning than na *o, and refers to the views and wishes of the
speaker; Tauina '■e fa*amalon, only be thou strong.
Optaiive particles are e,fia; os El ana fa^alogo mai lo'unu%0

A is also an infix particle in some proper names; as Faledlu'po^
house of lupo; Fatualttvai, tht) stone und the lavai.
Causative Pariide$,
Aud. Sentences beginnng with a causatiye particle in other
lauguages are translated ^ositiyely in Semoan ; as Na otdua le
fa*atuatua ia te a*u . . . *o fe mea lea,&c., ye did not believe me, tliere-
fore, &c. Should the sen ten. e not l)e followed up by therefore, then
attd must be expressed at the beg:inning : aud *ua *efa*atau ^oeiate^oe
, . . /a*auta^ &c., because jou sold yourself . . . bel.old, &c.
Ona *o, for the sake of, differs from the former word in that it is
placed before a noun to point out that on account of which someth'U^
is done ; as *J^ fe fa''a''umatia 'ea le '■a'^ai ^uma ona *o le to^alima i
Wilt thou destroy all the City on account of the five ?
^Ina ia is placed before verbs to indicate that something is done in
order that the event denoted by the verb may take place : *0u te ^ai ai
le manu a lo^u atali% *ina ia *ou fa^amannia iate^oe,! will eat of my
son's venison, in order t»at I may bless you.
*lna neH is used to mark negative causality ; Una neH malaia *oe i le
sola a le nu^u, lest you should perish in the punisi ment of the placi^.
AV* is also often found without the Hna ; as NeH 'ow iloa le leaga e
0^0 «' lo^u tamdy lest I bhould behold the evil that will come to my
father.
Atonu expresses partly a doubt, «nd partly a 1 ope to the contrary,
like j?er/iaj?8 in Englsh ; Atcnu *tia agasala o'w afali%MB.y be my sons
have sinned. Ai lava indicates more certainty with the doubt ; ai
lava *ua moe ia, probnbly he is asleep. Atonn would be improper here,
as it would express the conviction of the speaker that such probably
was the fact.
AH is a particle o*" instrumental'ty. It follows the verb, and
indicates the instrument by which anything is effected. It al^o causes
the relative ai to be dibpensed with : Au mai le toH e vavas aH le la^au,
bring an axe with which to cut the word in two.
Multiplicatives are formed with the causative /Vi'a; as, /a'oKnia,
five times : ^Olou Baufa^alima lendt this is my fifth coming.
Particles of Consequence.
Fa^apca, though usually employed to point out similarity or con-
formity of one object or action to another, also intimates cons* quence ;
as, Gen. tl.ile *uafa*apea lava; and it was so. Gen. xxix. 26, E U
fa''apea le tu i lu mdtou ntt'w, such is not the custom in our country. It
is used, pn ceded by^i, in the former sentence for the purpose of
making a comparison : Epei *o u/anafana i le lima oletoa; efa^apea
lava, &o., like aiTows in the hand of the warrior, so, &c.
*0 le mea lea followed by ai, lit. it is that thing, or, therefore, points
out an event as a cjnsequence of a preceding cvtnt : Num. xx. 11, A'a
oulua le faaiuatua ia te a^u, , , . ^oU mea lava lea lua te lefa^a^*otia

A SAMOAX UKAMMAB. 37
at, &c., you (two) did not believe in me, therefore you shall not bring
ill, &c.
Conditional particles are *a/at, ana^ *a, pea.
*Afai is future, and introduces ti.e condition ou which the fulfilment
of the eyent «lepends. Exod. xix. 5, ^Afai ton te matud fa'alogo mat i
lo'u leOy ona fai lea outou ma ^cHoa tana. It* ye will hear uiy voice,
then shall > ou become a peculiar treasure.
Ana is pabt time ; Ana le mad le Atua Una tagata^ natele mafaia^ If
that man were not from God, he could not. Both ^afai and ana may
be used in a subjunctive sense : ^Afai ana ouUm tatuuoy if ye were
blind.— John ix. 33, 41.
M is used like *afai ; as *a ua, maUm te 2e o, if it rains we shall
not go.
Ai supposes a case which may most likely occur ; as At »e le tali i
le mala o le Atua^ Should any one not receive the king lo n of God.
8e anoa (utinam !), O that I 8e anoa ! ana i ai lo*u ali% O that my
lord wore.
Pe a differ^i from a und afai, in t];at it refers to the time of an action,
when; Pe a *e/a*atau te ^au^auna, when ^ou ^uy a servant, Exod. xxi.
2. Then v. 3, Pe afai na sau ; the afai is rendered into the past time
"by adding na^ if he came. Ana sau would mean, Had he come;
meaning he did not do so.
Aud introduces nn account of the cfluse of a preceding statement ; as
Ona 'ott fefe ai lea^ atui *ua *ou le lavalavd^ ihen I was afraid, because
I was naked. Peculiar is its use by way of remons'rance, on hearing
a false statement : ^o le ale mea na ia le aau ai ? why did he not
come ? audy na sau, lit. because he did come, or, yes but, he did come.
E ui lava is always in the antecedent, never in the relative sentence.
I will go although it rains, must be transposed thus ; E ui ina ua, ou
te alu, although it rains, 1 will go.
Adversatives are *a, peitaH, peisaH. These are emphatic, and stand
with a noun or pronoun- in the nominative absolute ; as E le *o outou
na ^auina mai a^u HHnei^ *a *o le Atua, It was not you that sent me
here, but Qod. It may also precede a verb ; aa *ua le ola N<woti, *a
*tfa oti, Naboth is not alive, but dead. It is often used in Samoan
where a conjunctive is used in English ; as Le ali*i e, *ou te alu ; *a
ua le alu, sir, I go, but he went not.
(Conjunctives are ma, foi, ^atoa, amahe.
Ma connects nouns which are subjects of the same proposition ; as
Ona laZafi ai lea *o Atamu ma lana avd. Then Adam and nis wife hid
themselves. Ma always causes the rejection of a preposition : Tnd *e
toe foH atu i lou nu^u ma lou diga, return to your country and your
family. It connects two or more verbs relating to the same subject;
as la uluda, ma ia tupu tele, ma ia tumu ai le samt, multiply, and
increase, and fill the sea. Sometimes the verbal particle is rejected
after ma; ^Va mafu ma loud, it is musty and disngreeable. Ma, when
it connects adjectives, changes the second to a roun ; as *0 2e tagata
tino ^ese ma le puta, a man tall and stout, lit, stoutness. Thus it
apparently treats the first clause as a compound noun, to which the
becond is made to conform. In order to connect st ntenccs together,
fo*i is used; thus, 8a uJitiafoH le moaita i le pouliuU: na fegaoioiai,

foH le Agaaa. The deep was oorered with darimess ; the Spirit also
moTed. When there is consequence, or dependence of one sentence on
the other, they are connected hy ona ... at len. In a list of names
the cQDgnnction is sometimes expressed only before the last : *o Semuj
'o Hamu, ma lafeta^ Sbem, Ham, and Japhet Or noons may be
conpled together, and *atoa with ma and fo% will then be used to
gather np the last of the list ; 'O U Uigi ma U lalolagi, *atca f&i ma

things in them.
Amaite has mneh the same meaning as 'ofot, and is sometimes
joined with/o^t ; la *e alofa iate to, amaUe le fanauy haii« compassion

miisu oia pe leaii Is he unwilling or not?
IfderrogaiiveB.
A question is shown by the particle *ca occurring early in the
sentence; as *0 a'u *«a le leoUo o lo^u u$oi Am I my brother's
keeper? Sometimes a question is known by the tone of the yoice
only.
Pe before verbs, with or without ^ea is also used in asking ques-
tions: pe matou te o aiu *eaf shall we go? Before *o and ^whpo
is used ; as |>o o *at ? who ? po^ua o mai ? have they come ? Besides
these there are iuterrugative pronouns ; as *o at i *o le fea f t m a f
and also interrogative adverbs: pefa*apefea1 how? *o feaf where?
*o anafeaf when? (past); ofeaf when? (future); at Be H why? se
a? what? maifeal whence?
In answering a question, the verb of the questioner must always
lie repeated ; as *e Is alu a/eaf when will you go? Hht U oZn taeao^
I go to-morrow.
Emphaiie PariieUs.
Lava, indeed, very, even : Ua oti lava^ He is indeed dead. laUia

CoUooation,
In a simple sentence the verb precedes : then follows the nominative,
or, if a passive verb, the ablative (the a^nt), then the accusative,
then a second accusative ; ae Na faia tf le Atua le lagi ma le lalolagi i
le *amatag<L Were made by God the heavens and the earth in the
beginning. In a relative sentence, the relative pronomi at precedes
the nominative to the verb; as ^ua eilasila aiu i ai te Aiua^ God
beheld it. The conjunction fo*i follows the verb : *ua fetalai mai foi
U JtMO, God spake also. Unless a nominative absolute begins the
sentence, in that case the f&i follows it ; *o a^ fo% cu te alu atu^ I
also» I will go.

CHIEFS' LANGUAGE.
There is a large number of words used to chiefs and strangers ; and
to use any other when addressing such is equivalent to an InHulc
These words are never used by a chief speaking of himself. The
cliiets* language is not confjied to chiefs, but is also used in courtesy
to any strangers.
Amonget these are words used according to the rank of the person
addressed; e.g. tausami^ to eat, — a respectful term to a 'Uulafale ; '*
tauma/a — ^to a chief; taute — ^to the highest ohiel Ua tnoZtu, he is
gone ; Ua/olau, he is on a voyage.
All members of the chiefs body : Ua gasegase le a^a4) o le ali% The
arm of the chief is weak. His actions of hodj or mind : Ua toasa Is
ali*i i Una nu'ic, The chief is angry with his people. His dwelling :
Ua afio le aliH % Una maota^ The chief has gone to his house. All
these have different words to those used of common people. Offensive
weapons or tools: Va,eane aM% ua U *tloa U*u fa^asaga^sef Asking
pardon of chiefs, I have lost my axe. Marriage, disease, death : ua
fatoU ao, the clouds have pussed along; and burial — o U dfdU'lauast
3 aliH, the chief is about to be buried ; all have special words. The
greatest families have each a special word for the death of a member
of that family.
If a chief adopts a common name of anything, that word ceases to
be used by that chiefs adherents, and is changed for another word :
Thus, pe*a, a bat, is manulagi, a bird of the air, in Pe*a*8 tribe, &c. So
also the names of gods were not allowed by their worshippers to be
used in common. Vave was changed to ta^alUe^ tUi to noa, fttU to
tapena.

SAMOAN POETRY.
The Samoan has many different kinds of poetical compositionB. Metre
is altogether unknown, but the best kinds of poetry are in rhyme.
They are mostly responsive, each verse being commenced by a few
persons, and this is called the usu ; the remaining half being taken up
in chorus, and with strict attention to time, by aU present ; it is called
the tcUi.
I.
Popular songs on passing events are, as in other lands, very common.
They are sung to the stroke of the paddles when on a journey, or when
engaged on any work requiring united exertion.
At the time when religion was beginning to take root, the lovers of
darkness thus expressed their regrets at the prospective loss of their
pleasures:
Tini, tinio, tinio !
