(Komi-Permyak)

SitNecV

SitNecV: Situational necessity is expressed through the use of verb constructions.

(1)menymkol-ömun-ny.
I.DAThave_toPRS.3SGgoINF
’I have to go.’ (L. P.)

(2)menymkov-ś-a-smun-ny.
I.DATmustREFLFUT3SGgoINF
’I must go.’ (L. P.)

In Komi-Permyak situational necessity is expressed by combining the auxiliary kolö ’have to’ (1) or kovśö ’must’ (2) and the infinitival form of the verb (L. P.). Further research is needed.
