In the sense of 'I wish you were here'? (Rather than 'I missed when I threw the book at you')
We don't have a direct verb for the former unfortunately, so you'd have to say something like 'I'm sad that I cannot see...' or 'I wish that I could see...'

Amy: Hello! I am confused about the verb nautha-. In lesson 17 the dialog at the start has “nauthog” for “you think”, then “semin” for “I think”. Is nautha- one of the irregular verbs? I can’t find anything else it in the lessons or dictionary. Thank you! Jul 12, 2020 2:56:39 GMT

Xandarien: Suilad! There have been two verbs used for 'to think', I apologise for the confusion. There's Nautha- 'to conceive an idea, think' and Sam- 'to think. Sam- should have been removed everywhere as it was a reconstruction that we don't need. I'll change that. Jul 13, 2020 8:47:43 GMT

Amy: Thank you! I really enjoy the lessons. Len hannon! Jul 14, 2020 2:16:08 GMT

Teryn: Wow, this website is amazing! I started the lessons two days ago and I'm already using phrases with some friends of mine. Thank you sooo much for creating this, I can't tell you how helpful it is!! Sept 14, 2020 23:34:15 GMT
