===Verbs=== {{expand section|date=April 2015}} The 3rd person singular of the indicative mood can be either without an ending or, alternatively, with an ''s''-ending: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Võro ! Estonian ! Finnish ! Meaning |- | kirota'''s''' | kirjuta'''b''' | kirjoitta'''a''' | writes |- | and | anna'''b''' | anta'''a''' | gives |} Among the Finnic languages, such double verb conjugation can be found only in the [[South Estonian language|South Estonian]] and [[Karelian language|Karelian]] languages. ====Negation==== Võro has a negative particle that is appended to the end of the verb, whereas standard Estonian and Finnish have a [[negative verb]], which precedes the verb. In Estonian and Finnish, the negative verb ''ei'' (Finnish ''en/et/ei/emme/ette/eivät'') is used in both present and past negation, whereas in Võro the same is expressed by different particles ending with ''-i(q)'' or ''-s'': {| class="wikitable" |- ! Võro ! Estonian ! Finnish ! Meaning |- | saq anna-'''aiq''' | sa '''ei''' anna | sinä '''et''' anna | You don't give |- | maq tulõ-'''õiq''' | ma '''ei''' tule | minä '''en''' tule | I don't come |- | saq anna-'''as''' | sa '''ei''' andnud | sinä '''et''' antanut | You didn't give |- | maq tulõ-'''õs''' | ma '''ei''' tulnud | minä '''en''' tullut | I didn't come |}
