Usage notes

When used with an adjective, vaja expresses permanent qualities, whereas hava expresses temporary qualities. Both vaja and hava take a nominative object when used as a copula.

As with hava, vaja rarely appears in its full form, especially for younger speakers, most often appearing with the va- removed, as 'ja. Also as with hava, when used as an auxiliary, it is always shortened and appended to the end of the other verb's supine form, thus átt'ju, not átt vaju nor (va)ju átt.

Note that the mediopassive forms are rare or colloquial.

The present indicative forms often appear as a(j)- for older speakers, the active singular present indicative most often appearing as a.
