Different Verbs
However, some verbs in Badul are not in accordance with this construction. Instead they use the verb a tha (to be), which takes different forms to comply with its grammatical person. These verbs are called tha verbs and describe the state, quality or position of something. More broadly, the way something is.
There are many tha verbs, but the most common ones are:
| English | Badul |
|---|---|
| to act | a neim |
| to become | a sregh |
| to be born | a fribt |
| to be asleep | a frusan |
| to come | a hig |
| to cost | a luy |
| to die | a mad |
| to grow | a ċuw |
| to go | a ċey |
| to live | a bu |
| to stay | a vi |
| to stop | a dwai |
| to wake up | a dusk |
The construction is as follows, first the verb to be, then the subject and then uc followed by the root form of the verb. Uc becomes oc when in the third person singular.
