Breakdown of the verb form;

yi-g-aditasg-o'i - if/when I drink

yi- this prefix is used with the words "gesdi" or "tla" to negate a verb. When used alone it expresses the conditional "if", "can", or "could". yaditasga - if he drinks...

g - "I", this is an "A" Class bound pronoun, used before a vowel.

-aditasg- - present verb stem for "drink"

-o'i - habitual tense suffix. In conversation the "i" is often dropped, thus "kawi gaditasgo" I drink coffee.
