It is formed by adding suffix //-ulg// in place of suffixes of tense. Third person suffixes (â/û) are not used with Subjunctive. In [[syntax_analytic|analytic]] form of colloquial speech auxiliary verb //kulg// placed before main verb in Past tense or other modal verb in past tense together with //kulg// and main verb in infinitive. In analogy with English and because of similarity of adjacent consonants, "I would..." = "I'd ..." in colloquial analytical Nûrlâm is often shortened to "Izg'ulg ..." instead of "Izg kulg...".
