The problem of using "es" is that
it already feels like a truncated
"esta" ;-)
If the verb "to be" were "estar"
instead then the problem of derivation
would disappear, que no?
How about "vader" for "to go"?
then it would be "io vade"
How about "haber" for "to have?
then it would be "io habe"
Whaddaya think?
Since,
