Though formally not a [[w:Null-subject language|null-subject language]], in colloquial speech | Though formally not a [[w:Null-subject language|null-subject language]], in colloquial speech many speakers often omit the subject, particularly if it is obvious(though this is not a prerequisite). It is also typically used, even in formal speech, for expressing a phrase in the imperative mood, such as ''Pyátta’a!'', "Move!", instead of ''Ádo pyátta’a!'', "You, move!". However, in both formal and informal speech, a phrase in the jussive mood never has its subject omitted, i.e. ''Jiyacitási avni'', "Let some of them go." | ||
