Question restatement: How do you say in Kwakum: 'They bought (a long time ago)'. The provided data shows no multiple-choice options and supplies a single proposed answer: 'yebomme'.

First, without answer choices, we can't evaluate option-by-option correctness in the usual way. In short-answer format, the expected approach is to provide a direct translation and, if helpful, notes on tense, aspect, or subject agreement.

Examining the given answer: 'yebomme'. If this is indeed the Kwakum verb form corresponding to a past-buy action, the interpretation would be that it encodes both the verb 'to buy' and a past tense, potentially with aspect indicating that the action occurred long ago. In many language traditions, translations for 'they bought' must align with subject agreement (plural 'they') and a past or distant past marker. Therefore, 'yebomme' could plausibly be the form that expresses 'they bought' with a remote past reference, depending on dialect and register.

However, there are several important caveats:
- Absence of options makes it impossible to confirm via elimination or compare alternative translations.
- Kwakum pronoun-verb agreement and tense/aspect markers vary by dialect, speaker, and context, so a form like 'yebomme' might be correct in one variety and different in another.
- Without context about pronoun inclusion or formality, some languages require explicit subject concord to indicate 'they' versus 'he/she' or 'you all', which could affect the exact surface form.

If we treat this as a direct translation task assuming standard remote-past marking for plural subjects, and assuming 'yebo-' is the root for 'buy' with a past/distant aspect, then 'yebomme' could reasonably be interpreted as 'they bought (long ago)'. Yet this hinges on the specific phonological and morphological rules of the Kwakum variety in use.

Bottom-line considerations for learners:
- When given a short-answer prompt like this, verify whether the target form must include explicit subject markers for 'they' or if context provides the subject.
- Consider dialectal variation: a form that is correct in one Kwakum dialect may differ in another.
- If possible, consult a sentence example with a similar verb to compare past tense and plural agreement.

In summary, the proposed answer 'yebomme' could be correct under certain Kwakum dialects and tense interpretations for 'they bought (a long time ago)', but confirmation would require reference to a specific dialect corpus or a native speaker validation. The lack of multiple-choice options means we focus on providing the direct translation and notes on potential dialectal variation and tense alignment.
