Usage notes
Always draws the stress of the word onto the first syllable of the suffix.
Certain words only have an indefinite form using be -не́будзь; for example, there exists be адкуль-не́будзь from somewhere, but be *адкульсьці is at least poorly attested. However, all be -сьці indefinite pronouns also have a be -не́будзь variant: be хто-не́будзь, be які-не́будзь, and so forth.
