|}
 
Let's see some examples:
 
* Person 1: ನಾನು ಇರುವೆ. (nānu iruve.) (I am.)
* Person 2: ನೀನು ಯಾವ ವೃತ್ತಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಓದುತ್ತೀಯೆ? (nīnu yāva vṛttpatrikeyannu ōduttīye?) (Which newspaper are you reading?)
* Person 1: ಸಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಸಮಯವಿರುತ್ತದೆ. (sakāladalli nanage pratidina prārthanē māḍalu samayavirut-tade.) (I take time to say my prayers every morning.)

|}
|}


Let's look at an example dialogue to see how the verb "be" is used in context:
== Negative Sentences ==
 
To make negative sentences, we add the word "ಅಲ್ಲ" (alla) after the verb. Here are some examples:
 
* ಅವಳು ಸೆರೆ ಹಿಡಿದು ಬೀಳುವಳು ಅಲ್ಲ. (avalu sare hiḍidu bīluvaḷu alla.) (She will not be in prison soon.)
* ನೀನು ಯಾವ ದಿನ ಬಂದು ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. (nīnu yāva dina bandu nammalliḍe baruva- dill-a.) (You will not come to us.)
* ನಾನು ಕುಡಿಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. (nānu kuḍiyuvudilla.) (I am not drinking.)


* Person 1: ನಾನು ಇದೆ (nānu ide) - I am here
== Conclusion ==
* Person 2: ನೀವು ಇದ್ದೀರಿ (nīvu iḍḍīri) - You are here
* Person 1: ಅವನು ಇದೆ (avanu ide) - He/She/It is here
