Half the main cast is from Sharlayan so that makes no difference, and that quote doesn't demonstrate anything unusual about how she handles verbs specifically. (I also don't see the relevance of the other quotes, or what her being "eternally 23" has to do with her language choice – and in any case that's just a "don't ask her real age" joke.)

All the main cast are a step away from our language. They all do things like switch between my/mine the same way we still use a/an according to whether the following word starts with a consonant or vowel, or say "he is come" instead of "he has come". Even our own character uses "'tis" instead of "it's" in the dialogue options at the end of Shadowbringers.
