Is finnish the outlier (in uralic languages) by having diffrent types of no’s depending on whos talking?

Hi!Not at all. The Uralic languages are known for having a negation verb that is conjugated according to person. Only a few Uralic languages do not have this feature, mainly Hungarian and Estonian. It is speculated that this feature existed in Proto-Uralic, and whichever language no longer has it, has lost it.The Uralic negative verb is reconstructed as *e- and can mostly be found in the rest of the languages.Here are some examples of how this verb functions in some other Uralic languages;(1~3ps)
FINNISH - en, et, ei
VOTIC - en, ed, eb
LIVONIAN - ä'b, ä'b, iz
KOMI - og, on, oz
MOKSHA - ašeń, ašeť, ašeź
N. SÁMI - in, it, ii
S. SÁMI - im, ih, ij
A. SÁMI - jim, jik, ijIn general, there are very few features which make Finnish an outlier in the Uralic language family. I would say that this language is very stereotypical and preserves so many features from Proto-Uralic (and other language families, like Germanic). You might hear Finnish being called a "language fridge" for this reason.seven-beans:Estonian lost conjugated negation around the 17th century. From earlier texts, we can see that (Northern) Estonian had ep/eb as the 3rd person singular, similarly to Votic. Some forms were similar to Finnish: en, emme, evad (=eivät). There used to be regional variation in the negation verbs used though, perhaps that's also one reason why the standardized written language ended up without any conjugated negation.
