=== Verbs ===
In Mongolian, verbs have a stem and an ending. For example, the stems {{lang|mn|бай-}} {{transliteration|mn|bai-}}, {{lang|mn|сур-}} {{transliteration|mn|sur-}}, and {{lang|mn|үзэ-}} {{transliteration|mn|üze-}} are suffixed with {{lang|mn|-х}} {{transliteration|mn|-kh}}, {{lang|mn|-ах}} {{transliteration|mn|-akh}}, and {{lang|mn|-х}} {{transliteration|mn|-kh}} respectively: {{lang|mn|байx}} {{transliteration|mn|baikh}}, {{lang|mn|сурax}} {{transliteration|mn|surakh}}, and {{lang|mn|үзэx}} {{transliteration|mn|üzekh}}. These are the infinitive or dictionary forms.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last1=Gaunt|first1=John|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nYCVMYOAMKEC|title=Modern Mongolian: A Course-book|last2=Bayarmandakh|first2=L.|last3=Chuluunbaatar|first3=L.|date=2004|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=978-0-7007-1305-9|pages=xv/13 (depending on ebook or physical / xvi/14|language=en}}</ref> The present/future tense is formed by adding {{lang|mn|-на}} {{transliteration|mn|-na}}, {{lang|mn|-но}} {{transliteration|mn|-no}}, {{lang|mn|-нэ}} {{transliteration|mn|-ne}}, or {{lang|mn|-нө}} {{transliteration|mn|-nö}} to the stem, for example {{lang|mn|сурна}} {{transliteration|mn|surna}} 'I/you/he/she/we/they (will) study'. {{lang|mn|байна}} {{transliteration|mn|baina}} is the present/future tense verb for 'to be'; likewise, {{lang|mn|уншина}} {{transliteration|mn|unshina}} is 'to read', and {{lang|mn|үзнэ}} {{transliteration|mn|üzne}} is 'to see'. The final vowel is barely pronounced and is not pronounced at all if the word after begins with a vowel, so {{lang|mn|сайн байна уу}} {{transliteration|mn|sain bain uu}} is pronounced {{IPA|[sæe̯m‿pæe̯n‿ʊː]}} 'hello, how are you?'.<ref name=":0" />
