VerbForm: form of verb
In Cuicatec, this feature applies to verbs and
auxiliaries (value Fin), and to property words tagged as
adjectives (value Stat).
Fin: finite verb
A finite verb form. Finite verbs are inflected for person, and may carry aspect prefixes (for example the progressive ji-).
Examples
- [cux] Jiyadu jobe. “De día yo duermo.”
- [cux] Gua deanu. “No sé.”
- [cux] Nichiy insë. “Los vio ayer en el mercado.”
Stat: stative
Stative forms express a property or state rather than an event. They are used for property concepts such as cheatea “grande” and lï “pequeño”, typically as the predicate of a clause, with no copula.
Examples
- [cux] Bakun cheatea. “Mi casa es grande.”
- [cux] Baʼa kun gua cheatea. “Esta casa no es grande.”
