Detailed explanation-1: -Hopi also has three tenses: factual or present-past, future, and generalized or usitative. Hopi verbs belong to seven classes or conjugations having slightly different inflectional systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Hopi have no past tense for their verbs, and so it is very difficult for Ahote to think about the past. Benjamin Whorf would suggest that this is caused by: linguistic determinism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hopi is a native North American language in Northeastern Arizona, USA. It is one of 30 languages in the Uto-Aztecan language family. The language is in decline but it is estimated that there are around 5, 000 speakers of Hopi. There are 4 dialects of Hopi; First mesa, Mishongnovi, Shipaulovi and Third Mesa.
Detailed explanation-4: -One common example of linguistic determinism is the idea that the Inuit have a much more sophisticated understanding of snow than people from other cultures do because Inuktitut has many different words for snow.
