It is possible to use the simplified present-future monoform of the verb <degy> or <doan> to wear to describe what you wear all the time (though not to describe what you are currently wearing).

so     me a dheg  I wear

          te a dheg  you wear (familiar, singular)

          ev a dheg  he wears

          hei a dheg  she wears

          nei a dheg  we wear

          whei a dheg  you wear (formal and/or plural)

          anjei a dheg  they wear

In speech we may leave out the verbal particle “a”. You may hear and say “me dheg, etc.
