The negative predicate counts as a semantic function and is localized and therefore grammaticalized in different languages.
Uralic languages differ from each other in the particulars of negation predicate use but continue to show specific similarities.
[4] For defining different patterns of negation predicates it is necessary to know about the lexical verb (LV) and the finite form (FE).
For example, the LV loses the finiteness because the clause is marked by the de-verbalizing negative morpheme.
In some Uralic languages, speakers produce[clarification needed] connegatives to construct the syntactically acceptable word form used in negative clauses.
The standard negation (SN) in the Finnish language is realized by a verbal complex.
[5] First the LV with a non-finite character is formed followed by the finite element which is presented as the negative auxiliary.
Indicative, conditional, and potential Imperative The Estonian language uses a particle-like non-inflectional negative auxiliary[6] which is hierarchically presented on a pre-verbal slot.
Indicative, conditional, and oblique Imperative In Skolt Saami the SN shows a negative auxiliary compared with a non-finite LV.
Indicative, conditional, and potential mood Hungarian has lost most evidence of a negative verb, but the negation particle 'nem' becomes 'ne' before verbs in the jussive/imperative (also sometimes called the conditional mood or J-mood).
Optative (3rd person only) Conditional (all tenses) 'med' + 'o-' + V - CNG '(v)éske(u)' + SN - non-finite subordinate verb forms: i. Infinitives ii.
(anida is an independent word like anta and mothada, unlike ida which cannot stand on its own and must be attached to a noun.)
