ABSTRACT

Note: In Yiddish, the verb to have ןבָאה (along with the verb ןײַז) is essential to forming the past tense, where it acts as the auxiliary (helping verb) along with a past participle form.

Example:

Aside from to be ןײַז and to have ןבָאה, Yiddish has a number of other verbs whose base forms are different from their infinitive forms. Note the irregularities in conjugation in the present indicative tense as well as the second person conjugations of the imperative mood.
