I am.

[he sounds pleased he's catching onto that so quickly.]

And it is-- we don't use words like is, are, were, or likewise in our grammar. We use suffixes for tense, instead. For example... anari, 'to speak or reveal', and a, for 'you'. Anari'a is 'you speak', anarilu'a is 'you spoke', anaridu'a is 'you are speaking', and anarisu'a would be 'you will speak'. In use with other words-- anarisu'a anar would translate roughly to 'you will speak the word'.

[for reference, the Thing his voice does at the apostrophes is a slight stop between syllables.]
