The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that is doing the action. For example, in the sentence the dog is running, the subject is the dog. In Paiute, if the subject is not a pronoun (like I, you, he, she, it, we, or they), then it must be followed by a suffix either -ii (indicating the subject is near/visible) or -uu (indicating the subject is far/not visible).

The object of a sentence is the person or thing that is receiving the action. For example, in the sentence the dog is chasing the cat, the object is the cat. In Paiute, if the object is not a pronoun (like I, you, he, she, it, we, or they), then it must be followed by a suffix either -neika (indicating the object is near/visible) or -noka (indicating the object is far/not visible).

Not all sentences have objects. For example, in the sentence the dog is running, there is no object. In these cases, you'll find that the object dropdowns are disabled.

The verb is the action that is being done. For example, in the sentence the dog is running, the verb is run. In Paiute, the verb tense is indicated by a suffix on the verb. For example, the suffix -wei indicates that the verb is in the future tense.

Transitive verbs (verbs that have an object) may be prefixed by an object pronoun (like ü-, which means you) to indicate the object. If an object is specified, a matching object pronoun must be used.
