*Here are examples of all four types: '''I''' –''yohkyeen'' (''yo-hk-yeen'') "I see it" (active transitive verb), '''II''' – ''kesseen'' (''k-s-yeen'') "I understand" (detransitive verb), ''nöyon'' (''ne-m-yon'' "I am seen" (passive) , '''III''' ''eikseen'' (''e-i-hk-s-yeen'') "(thing) that I see" (conjunct verb), '''IV''' – '' | *Here are examples of all four types: '''I''' –''yohkyeen'' (''yo-hk-yeen'') "I see it" (active transitive verb), '''II''' – ''kesseen'' (''k-s-yeen'') "I understand" (detransitive verb), ''nöyon'' (''ne-m-yon'' "I am seen" (passive) , '''III''' ''eikseen'' (''e-i-hk-s-yeen'') "(thing) that I see" (conjunct verb), '''IV''' – ''möhkwi'' (''m-öhkw-i'') "I set fire" ([[w:Deponent verb|deponent]] verb). As can be seen for these examples, every type has slightly different person markers. | ||
Aspect are shown with multiple prefixes attached to a lexical stem. There are multiple aspect prefixes, sometimes more than one aspectual prefix can be attached to a verb. They are often used in combination with various clitics, but can also be used on their own. Together with person markers and a root they are compulsory parts of a verb. Aspect markers are not used to describe time, the same way as tenses in English, but can tell about the duration or completeness. Comparing to some Southern languages, Kalyah has a moderate inventory of aspectual prefixes. Four modifiers are used to change the [[w:Valency|valency]] of the verb. A modifier is always placed right next to the root before any other prefixes. | Aspect are shown with multiple prefixes attached to a lexical stem.

Kalyah has three types of demonstrative pronouns: '''proximal''' (indicates a person or an object that is close to the speaker), '''medial''' (indicates something that is slightly farther away from the speaker, but can be close to the listener) and '''distal''' (used, when someone or something is far away from the speaker). There are two sets based on animacy. | Kalyah has three types of demonstrative pronouns: '''proximal''' (indicates a person or an object that is close to the speaker), '''medial''' (indicates something that is slightly farther away from the speaker, but can be close to the listener) and '''distal''' (used, when someone or something is far away from the speaker).
