Another thing i forgot to say, Tagalog doesnt use "to be" either. To state
condition, an adjective is placed before a pronoun or noun. That's one
thing i have been toying with for my second conlang, although without it,
you have to come up with other ways to say things like "i was sick" or "i
am getting sick" (they use adverbs of time for that: Masakit ako kahapon -
i was sick yesterday).
