-len, -nen and -nin

  - In English, you can say "[Subject] am/is/are [verbed]". In Bambara, you can do the "[Subject] am/is/are [verbed]" by adding -len or -nen to the end. :

    - Gafè sannen. : The book is bought.

    - Gafew kàlannen. : The books are read.

    - Like before, if the last consonant of the verb ends with a nasal sound (m, n, ɲ), then add -nen or -nin. Else, use -len:

    - Kàràmɔgɔ nin k’òlu ka sìgilen. : The teacher says they must be seated.

  - In Jula, use -nin instead of -nen :

    - Gafè sannin. : The book is bought.

    - Gafew kàlannin. : The books are read.

  - You can also use these endings to make a verb an ajective :

    - [Sò lafiɲenen] ye gafè kàlan. : [The rested horse] read the book.
