Sinatolean has no copulae. Thus, sentences like "I am tired" would grammatically be "I tired"(''lag auman''). Sinatolean is the only Sinatolean language with no copulae whatsoever; for comparison, the equivalent phrase of Sinatolean ''lag auman'' in Mowinda-Moyeng would be ''le’ awan jengāzi'' [leʔ (a)wan ɟeŋaːzi] ''lit.''
