The place of "pyā" may sometimes be switched with respect to the verb.
"Tusī̃ bahoon changā kamm paye karenday o", meaning "You (plural) are doing a very good thing"
"Tū̃ bahoon changā kamm krendā ain pyā", meaning "You (sing, m) are doing a very good thing"
"Sāḍā hāl kehṛā puchhdā ãi, mar mar ke paye aan jeenday, meaning "What do you ask about us? We are living in great distress" (a song by Mansoor Malangi)
"Paye aapna vanjeynday visaah o", meaning "You are wasting the trust people have in you" (from "Tusi changean naseeban de shah")
"Eh dohven aape vich larde hin paye". meaning "These two are fighting amongst themselves"
"Ethay seklaan pyiaan vikkdiyaan hin" or "Ethay seklaan vikkdiyaan ne pyiaan", meaning "Bicycles are being sold here"
Future Tense
The future tense in Jatki Punjabi is formed by adding -s as opposed to the Eastern Punjabi gā.[10][11]
This tense is also utilized in Pothwari, Hindko, Saraiki and other Western Punjabi dialects.
The present tense of non-causative verbs in Jatki may involve the addition of -eyndā, while causative verbs may attain either -eyndā or -āandā. The future tense changes accordingly.
Verbs that have a causative form, rarely acquire -eyndā, for example, Mardā (dies) cannot become Mareyndā (kills/hits) as that is the present form of Maarnā (killing/hitting).
However, Mannnā (to be convinced) and Mannāvnā (to convince) both can be said as Maneyndā in the present form.
Verbs like āvan (to come) and lyāvan (to bring) will not take -eyndā, as they lack a passive form, so they are either said as -āndā or -aundā

The progressive tense is built upon the present tense, and is used in all Punjabi dialects. It is made by ending the verb with -eān in the present form.
For example, "to be doing" or "while doing", can be either kardeān or kareyndeān.
Passive Tense
The Jatki dialects have a special passive tense for most verbs.
The present passive is made by adding -eendā, past passive by adding -eejā/eeyā, subjunctive by adding -eevay (s.) and -eevan (pl), progressive by adding -eendeān , gerundive passive by adding -eevna/eejna and future passive by adding -eesi. The continuous passive is built upon the present passive by adding pyā, while perfect passive is built by adding gyā to the past passive.
Varteendā (is used), Varteenday (are used), Varteevay/Varteejay (to be used, sing), Varteevan/Varteejan (to be used, pl), Varteejā/Varteeyā (was used), Vartee-gyā (has been used), Varteenda-pyā (is being used), Varteendeān (while being used), Varteevna/Varteejna (its "being used"), Varteesi (will be used), Vartee-veysi or Vartee-jaasi (will have been used/will end up being used), Vartee-veynda or Vartee-jaanda (gets used).
Note: The past passive in Shahpuri is made by adding -eevyā, in Jhangochi by adding -eeyaā, Dhani is made by adding -eetā, and in Thalochi it is made by adding -eechā.

Note: The past tense of Marnā is Moyā (dead) and the past passive tense is Mareejā (killed)
Agentive Tense
The agentive tense of verb in Punjabi is either shown in the standard manner by adding the words "āalā" or "laggeā".
For example, "He is to come" or "He is about to come" is spoken as Oh aavan aalā/laggeā ae.
In Jatki, another manner exists where the root verb is suffixated by adding -oo
Examples:
Tun kitthay jaaoo/vanjoo ain? (Where are you to go?)
Oh kay karoo ae? (What is he up to)
Ajj mein tuhānu hik ehjihi gall sunāoo aan (Today I am about to tell you such a thing...)
Tuseen ohnu deoo o ke menu deoo o? (You are to give him or me?)
Ghaabarda kyon pya ain? Saanu vi miloo ae (Why are you worried? We too are to get it)
Vocabulary
Present Plural Marker
The dialects of Jatki Punjabi use Hin (ہِن) or No (نو) to signify the present plural tense.
"Do janay hin/no" (دو جنے ہِن/نو), meaning "There are two people".
The word "hin" may be attached with the verb colloquially.
"Oh menu dassdin" (اوہ مینُوں دسّدِن), meaning "They tell me".
"Bahoon vāday keetin" (بہُوں وعدے کِیتِن)، meaning "Made many promises"
The word Hen (ہَینڑ) may also be used.
Words for "Then/Again"
Words like Vatt (وتّ) [13] or Muṛ (مُڑ) [14] are used instead of the Standard PunjabiPhir (پھیر).
"Halā vatt kay hoya?" (ہلا وتّ کے ہویا؟), meaning "Alright, what happened then?".
"Tenu vatt vii aas praai rahi" (تَینُوں وتّ وی آس پرائی رہی), meaning "Even then, you had hopes for some other", a lyric from "Changean Naseeban de Shah", by Talib Hussain Dard
Words for "Going"

"Kithay vendā/jāndā pyā ain?" (کِتھّے ویندا/جاندا پیا ایں؟), meaning "Where are you going?"
Words for "Someone" and "What"
For "what", Jatki either uses the common word Kii (کی) or the Western word Kay (کے)
For "someone", Jatki may use either the standard Kisay (کِسے) or another word that is Kaheeṇ (کہِیں)
Words for "That"
Ba, Bai or Jo are used, as opposed to ke in Standard Punjabi. (بہ، بئی، جو)
Mein tuhaanu dassaan bai (ke) aes ton changga mein pehlon kaday nhi vekhya
(Let me tell you that I have never seen one better than this)
Kaday vi mein nahi aakhya jo (ke) tun menu kujh desein taahin mein tenu kujh desaan

Supporting Verbs
In Jatki, many verbs exist to support the adjoining verb, giving the same meaning as de/dittaa/devay/devaan/denda/desi.
De chaa (دے چا), is the same as De de (دے دے), meaning "Give it"
Rakkh chhaḍḍ (رکھّ چھڈّ), is the same as Rakkh de (رکھّ دے), meaning "Place it"

The verb "Vattnā"
In its past form Vadā, it can either show continuous action (like pyā) or a state of being (like hoyā), depending on the main verb's form.
In the latter case, Khalā and Khlotā (both meaning "standing") may also be used.

Words for "Taking" and "Bringing"
Commonly observed in the Lahnda dialects is the use of Ghinṇā (گھِننا)[16][17] and Aaṇnā (آننا)[18][19] instead of the Eastern Punjabi words Laiṇā (لَینا) and Lyāṇā (لیانا).
Jhangochi and Shahpuri make use of the first set. The Dhani dialect however, seems to lean more towards the former.
In Jatki Punjabi, as well as in Saraiki, the irregular Punjabi past tense form of verbs is retained when used with the verb Karnā, a feature that is not present in Eastern dialects such as Majhi, or even in other Lahnda varieties such as Pothohari and Hindko.
The irregular past tense is generally the same throughout the Punjabi dialects (e.g. khādhā, peetā, nahātā, dhotā, moyā, latthā, khalotā, ḍaṭṭhā, suttā, keetā, dittā, ghidā, seetā, baddhā).
Jatki does seem to have some additional ones as well, such as runnā for royā (cried) ḍiṭṭhā for vekhya (seen), and syātā for syāneā (recognized).

Do talks of truth
گلّاں سچّیاں کیتِیاں کرو
ਗੱਲਾਂ ਸੱਚੀਆਂ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਕਰੋ
گلّاں سچّیاں کریا کرو
ਗੱਲਾਂ ਸੱਚੀਆਂ ਕਰਿਆ ਕਰੋ
گلّاں سچّیاں کریا کرو
ਗੱਲਾਂ ਸੱਚੀਆਂ ਕਰਿਆ ਕਰੋ
You should listen to what I have to say
کدے میری گلّ وی سُن لئی کر
کدے مینڈی گلّ وی سُن گھِدی کر
ਕਦੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਸੁਣ ਲਈ ਕਰ
ਕਦੇ ਮੈਂਡੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਸੁਣ ਘਿਦੀ ਕਰ
کدے میری گلّ وی سُن لیا کر
ਕਦੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਸੁਣ ਲਿਆ ਕਰ
کدے مہاڑی گلّ وی سُنی گھِنیا کر
ਕਦੇ ਮਹਾੜੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਸੁਣੀ ਘਿਨਿਆ ਕਰ
This is also observed with the verbs "Rakkhnā" and "Jānā/Vanjnā".
Examples:
Asī̃ ohnū̃ ditti rakhie? (اسِیں اوہنُوں دِتّی رکھّیئے؟) instead of Asī̃ ohnū̃ dei rakhie? (اسِیں اوہنُوں دئی رکھّیئے؟)
(meaning, "Shall we keep on giving him?")
and
Oh keeti jāndā ae (اوہ کِیتی جاندا اے) instead of Oh kari jāndā ae (اوہ کری جاندا اے)
(meaning, "He keeps on doing")
Kalla maiiyon kamm keeti jaavan? instead of Kalla maiiyon kamm kari jaavan?
(meaning, "I alone am to keep on doing?)
This can be further observed with the verbs Aanā (to come) and Jānā/Vanjnā (to go), when used in this manner.
