Usage notes
The usage of this verb closely follows Russian in many cases. In Russian the usage of the verb "to be" in present is extremely limited, thus Moksha:
- Тя мазы! ― Tja mazy! ― This is beautiful! (lit. "this beautiful!")
The future of the verb "to be" is regularly used in Russian, since Moksha present doubles as future, present conjugation can often be taken to mean future.
This verb is usually not used in negative, instead the negative particles аф (af) and аш (aš) and their conjugated forms are used.
Outside of Russian influence Moksha conjugates nominals to express being some entity or some quality, e.g., васенцесян, васенцесят (vasencesjan, vasencesjat, “I'm the first, you're the first”).
