Abstract
The article examines the so-called form of the behind one’s back past tense -(п)тыр within the framework of the theory of evidentiality. The author considers that this form is able to express all categorial situations of evidentiality: hearsay, interference, admirativity; and proves that the discussed form -(п)чаттыр is one of the forms of the present tense, not the past one. For the first time in Khakass linguistics such terms as imperfect, pluperfect and cunctative are clarified through evidential forms.
