I have a question.

In certain words, can you use two affixes at the same time? For example, let's say an perfective with a negative connotation?

soli   perfective (finished)
sängi   pejorative (negative connotation)

Can you then use something like 'solängi', if you want to say for example that someone did something you didn't like?

Because I wanted to write "You were crying". As in, "you were crying (you finished crying already) (and also with negative connotation because I don't like the fact you were crying)"

I was just wondering if that's possible.

Sure it's possible. :)

Nga tsngolawvängìk - You were crying/weeping (and I didn't like it).

There are even extreme examples like:
Po täpeykìyeverkeiup nìnäk
A verb with four infixes in.
