How It Works

Naj with a finite verb expresses an instruction, wish or proposed action, often for a third person. Keep the verb's ordinary person and number agreement.

Compare Naj Ana pride with Ana pride. Naj changes the sentence's force from an ordinary statement to a proposed or desired event. It does not turn pride into an infinitive or eliminate agreement with Ana.
