    Usage notes

    It is omitted in the present tense except in the third-person singular ёсць which is used either to emphasise the existence of
    the subject, a predicate meaning “there is” and to express possession (English verb "to have")

    Ёсць які-небудзь стары, што да вайны тут жыў? (Josc’ jakí-njébudzʹ starý, što da vajný tut žyŭ?)

    Is there anyone old that lived here before the war?

    У мяне ёсць пытанне (u mjanjé joscʹ pytánnje)

    I have a question.

    It is usually expressed in the present tense as a pause, represented in the written language by a dash.

    Я — беларус, а ты — украінец (ja - bjelarús, a ty - ukraínjec)

    I am a Belarusian and you are a Ukrainian.

    Хлопчык — вельмі галодны (xlópčyk vjél’mi halódny)

    The young man is very hungry.


    However, the dash is not written in third person impersonal adverbial phrases.

    Цяжка вывучыць новую мову (cjážka vývučycʹ nóvuju móvu)

    It is difficult to learn a new language.

    Other verbs such as бываць and стаць can also be used instead.
