When positive-form adjectives are used as '''predicatives''', they can be placed after nouns, as if common attributes, if there are no other adjectives. The adjective case corresponds with the case of (pro)nouns being referred to: ''Ni dokii kelaree.'' (The object is heavy.); ''~~Bujussa~~ nas efireke'' (It made me happy.)

When positive-form adjectives are used as '''predicatives''', they can be placed after nouns, as if common attributes, if there are no other adjectives. The adjective case corresponds with the case of (pro)nouns being referred to: ''Ni dokii kelaree.'' (The object is heavy.); ''Jussa nas efireke'' (It made me happy.)

*However, adjectives usually appear before the noun to clarify the meaning, especially with multiple adjectives: ''Ni kelaree dokii gesharii. Sö milarii.'' (The yellow object is heavy. Not the blue one.)

**Can be thought as present passive participle after nominative noun: ''musi busumu'' (eatable food)

**"Be made/forced to do something" with imperfective aspect and accusative: ''Buborokkein nas.'' (I was forced to run.)

**Gives verbs other meanings as well (deponent verbs): ''Jussa'' (~~become~~) → ''Bujussam'' (~~make, cause to be~~) → ''Bujussa shy ~~nas~~ tööreke.'' (He ~~made me~~ angry.)

**Gives verbs other meanings as well (deponent verbs): ''Jussa'' (make, cause to be) → ''Bujussam'' (become) → ''Bujussa shy tööreke.'' (He became angry.)

*'''Past passive participle''' with nouns (see non-finite forms above): ''Gehish '''gollanol''' irrä'' (Houses '''been built''' well.)

A mix of moods is used to indicate protases and apodoses so there is no need for "if". Both clauses are began with the verb and separated with a short pause (comma).

General truths and high probabilities are indicated with conditional in protasis (if-clause of condition) and indicative in apodosis (the consequence) both using the same tense: ''Millel, ~~jusa~~ kela milyreke.'' (If it rains, the earth will become wet.) Another yet rarer option for factual conditional sentences is imperative (3SG) and 2nd passive: ''~~Mil~~, ~~bujussa kelax milyreke~~.'' Present tense is used for logical implications and future for predictive sentences.

General truths and high probabilities are indicated with conditional in protasis (if-clause of condition) and indicative in apodosis (the consequence) both using the same tense: ''Millel, bujussa kela milyreke.'' (If it rains, the earth will become wet.) Another yet rarer option for factual conditional sentences is imperative (simply 3SG) and 2nd passive: ''Ni öhaly, busömö tolla Halla.'' ((If) it's night, the Sun is not seen.) Present tense is used for logical implications and future for predictive sentences.

For contrafactual conditional sentences, Aoma uses eventive (EVE = eventive mood) in protasis and either subjunctive (for hightly unlikely) or conditional mood in apodosis:
