In Dhivehi, there is no explicit "be" except in noun-noun sentences. (An example noun-noun sentence is "A is B." where A, B are nouns.)
- (div) ކޮބާ ފާހަނަ؟ → (eng) Where is the bathroom?
- (div) ކޮބާ<itg> ފާހަނަ<n><nhum><sg><def><dir>؟/؟<sent> → (eng) Where<adv><itg> be<vbser><pres><p3><sg> the<det><def><sp> bathroom<n><sg>?<sent>

Definiteness as Suffix
In Dhivehi, definiteness of nouns is marked with a suffix. In English, the word "the" is used.
- (div) މީހާ → (eng) the person
- (div) މީހާ<n><hum><sg><def><dir> → (eng) the<det><def><sp> person<n><sg>

- (div) ތަރައްގީ<n><nhum><sg><def><dir> → (eng) the<det><def><sp> improvement<n><sg>
Sentence Final -އެވެ

Future Tense Marked with Suffix
In English, the future tense is marked with "will". In Dhivehi, the future tense is marked with a suffix (takes the stem, lengthens the last vowel and append "-ne").
- (div) .މުބާރާތް މިއަދު ނިމޭނެއެވެ → (eng) The competition will end today.
