===Copula===
===Copula===
Äivö has a copula ''lä-'' which inflects regularly in the present tense.
Äivö has no copula. Instead, the "predicate" or the focused constituent is fronted.


As in Welsh, the copula is also used with progressive verbs: ''Duvuŋ la d-iant.''
''D-iant ta duvwŋ.'' = The teacher is sleeping.
