THE VERB.
77

(is) my mother (at home). Sincs follows the same rules as nincs.


3. Jer, come thou along!
jerünk, let us go, or go we!
jertek, come you along!

are the only three forms of this verb. They are imperative, and command to go along with the speaker—i.e., to accompany him.


Some grammarians reckon the words ne, nesze, netek also among these verbs, but they really belong rather to the interjections, as they do not express action in themselves, but rather call the attention of the person addressed to the action of the speaker; as, ne or nesze pénz! "look, money!" or, "here, money!" is an idiomatic phrase, and in itself without meaning. It may imply, "I give you money," or "take this money," or both. The speaker's intention is here merely to call the attention of the person thus addressed to the money, with which he knows already what to do, or what it is meant for. The sentence, were it written in full, would be: nesze! vedd el ezt a pénzt, here! take this money; or, nesze! adok pénzt, here! I give you money, &c.


ADVERBS.

An adverb is a part of speech which determines or qualifies the verb as to the manner, place, time, and number of its action.
