The progressive form is marked by -cta-: sporactavir 'is eating'.

The subjunctive is used as the imperative.

Yes-no questions are formed by adding the question particle pegol to the subjunctive: Xenazumab pegol? (Did he go?)

The negative uses the -flo- marker after the verb stem: sabaflovir (he does not write).

The potential ('can') uses -tecan, and the debitive ('must') uses the subjunctive plus tiuxetan; the subject is put into the dative.

The prefix peg- can be used to indicate uncertainty ('may/might').

The desiderative uses the following suffixes:

	Indicative	Subjunctive
Past	-prazole	-prazumab
Present	-profen	-promab
Timeless	-protinib	-protumab
Future	-farcept	-farcimab

Predicate nouns can be expressed with predicative suffixes in addition to the verb cyta-. The predicative is formed by replacing the final -n in the nominative case of a noun with the following suffixes:

	Indicative	Subjunctive

Present	-navir	-numab
Timeless	-natinib	-natumab
Future	-nercept	-naximab

For example: Endin vopraphen cytavir and Endin vopraphenavir both mean "I am a teacher".

	Indicative	Subjunctive
Past	-noprazole	-noprazumab
Present	-noprofen	-nopromab
Timeless	-noprotinib	-noprotumab
