сум
MacedonianEdit
VerbEdit
сум • (sum) impf or pf
- to be
Usage notesEdit
- The dependent form is specific to this verb only and is basically a second present form that is used in compound forms, such as the future, the да-construction, etc. It is analogous to the dependent present form of perfective verbs and its presence in the conjugation of "сум" is due to suppletion.
