====== A(J) stem markers ======

While this stem type follows a conjugation structure similar to other East Slavic languages, it is completely unique in that -j- (normally in the form of suffixes -ю, -єш, -є, -єме, -єте, -ют) is truncated—except for in the 3rd person plural. The absence of the connector vowel -e- in this conjugation type is a distinctive feature, likely influenced by West Slavic languages. The conjugational pattern is similar to other Slavic languages, particularly Slovak.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=116-118}}

This stem type also includes verbs with the suffix -ывати, a suffix which is often found in imperfective verbs.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=117}}
