* ''bunān samin pa maišildennilь'' — as he's going to be a father <small>(lit. "as a will-be-father")</small>, he's learning about children.

Note that, like for participles, tense is relative to the main verb.

====Miscellaneous uses of cases====

'''Purpose''' may be expressed not only with a subjunctive verb, but also with either a translative or a dative noun.<br/> Translative case is used generally with a purpose directly affecting the trigger:

: '''''murkadhānan''' kaminairīveyu.'' "I am studying [in order to become] an Inquisitor."

: ''tąsь lapi '''nadaidanan''' peithė.'' "(s)he is going out with him/her to get to know him/her."

Dative case is used generally when the purpose is something else, or is the result of a subsequent (unstated) action:

: ''maivnaviṣye '''maivauti''' khlou.'' "I am searching in the dictionary [in order to find] the words."

: ''lgrån '''mayābyom''' rāmīran.'' "Grapes are harvested for wine." (Wine is not the direct result of harvesting, thus dative is used instead of translative).

'''Ablative case''' is used in order to state comparisons:

: ''dāneh '''dulmaidanų''' nanū lalla.'' "Dāneh is taller than Dulmaidana."

: ''faliā ñæltah '''tąu''' chloucæm pūnė.'' "Your sister works better than him/her."

: ''nenė naviṣya '''yaivų''' nanū ñæñuchleh.'' "This book is the most beautiful." (literally "more beautiful than all")

It is also used as reason when it's an abstract noun:

: ''tami '''kairų''' hånyadaikah moe.'' "(s)he was happy for love."

: '''''maidaudių''' ḍūkiro.'' "(s)he died because of his/her ambition."
