How do you yamas?

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

So this is Y-M-R.

Here's an example where

yamar takes a direct object.

I'm going to call him tomorrow.

Lo voy to jamar manana. Try He was going to try it yourself with this next example.

He meant to call her yesterday.

La Kiso Jamar Ayer

La Kiso Jamar Ayer

La Kiso Yamar Ayer

Now you'll very often see direct object pronouns with this verb,

but also, as we've learned before,

when the direct object is a person who's mentioned in the sentence, you'll put an extra

preposition ah before the person. Compare the following two examples. She is going to call her.

She is going to call the police officer.

Now let's start learning more forms of this verb.

It's conjugated exactly like

Ablar. So here are a few examples. My parents call me every evening.

My fathers me yamman to those last nights.
