di-

1. used to form passive voice or "patient focus" (in some analyses) on a verb

   dimakan ―tobe eaten

In some cases, the meaning of this suffix can become active, as long as the so-calledobject is animate. For example, both the sentencesRizqimembaca buku itu andBuku itudibaca (oleh) Rizqi can have the same meaning, "Rizqi reads that book" (although the latter sentence can be also translated as "That book is read by Rizqi").

1. (third person)Patient focus orpassive voice marker of a verb.

   ‎di- + ‎buka(“to open”) → ‎dibuka(“to be opened”)

   Pintu itudibuka (oleh) ayah.

   That doorwas opened by dad.

• According to theDBP's prescriptive grammar, this prefix is to be exclusively used in the third person. In the first and second persons, patient focus sentences are formed by following the subject of a sentence with the stem form of a verb, demonstrated below with the verbtelan(“swallow”):
  • Third person patient focus:

    Makanan ituditelan (oleh) dia.

    That foodwas swallowed by him/her.

  • First/Second person patient focus:

    Makanan ituaku/kamu telan.

    That foodwas swallowed by me/you.

• When the sentence agent appears right after the verb as in "The homeworkwas completed by Adam in three minutes.", it can optionally be preceded by the prepositionoleh, so the aforementioned sentence can be translated in the two ways shown below:

  Kerja sekolah itudisiapkan Adam dalam tiga minit.

  Kerja sekolah itudisiapkan oleh Adam dalam tiga minit.

  That homeworkwas completed by Adam in three minutes.

• If the sentence agent does not appear right after the verb as in "The homeworkwas completed in three minutesby Adam.", theoleh preposition is now compulsory, as in the sentence below:

  Kerja sekolah itudisiapkan dalam tiga minitoleh Adam.

  That homeworkwas completed in three minutesby Adam.

2. arms and legs

   • dilʼéés ―to step, to place one's foot

3. extension, elongated shape

   • yidiséí ―to crumble it
   • hadii- ―from end to end
   • díní-(prolongative)
   • tádi-(diversative)
   • bibadi- ―to exhaustion

Four modal-aspectual uses are also distinguished:

1. Forms a number ofinceptive verbs, with a (∅/si) paradigm.

   • dighááh ―to start to go

2. Forms a number ofinchoative verbs, with prepoundeddah and a transitional (yii/yii) paradigm.

   • dahdiighááh ―to start off, to set out, to leave

4. Forms thefuture mode of all active verbs along with the progressive yi-.

   • doogááł ―he will go
   • didoogááł ―he will start to go
   • dahdidoogááł ―he will start off

5. Forms a number of neuter adjectivals.

   • dijool ―spherical, chubby

Probably cognate with a prefix of similar shape occurring in other Athabascan languages a reflexive possessive pronoun.
