| ===Conjugation of regular verbs=== | | ===Interrogative pronouns=== |
| Sample verbs:
| | Basic interrogative pronouns display two different roots: |
|
| |
|
| *'''1<sup><small>st</small></sup> conjugation''': ði, ''to give'' | | *<small>''quality'':</small> '''ṫjejm-''' |
| *'''2<sup><small>nd</small></sup> conjugation''': ɟux, ''to bring'' | | *<small>''quantity'':</small> '''sjowp-''' |
| *'''3<sup><small>rd</small></sup> conjugation''': ɸaq, ''to see''
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Active diathesis====
| | When taking a noun role, the root is usually expanded by the nominal suffix '''-e-'''. |
|
| |
|
| =====Indicative mood=====
| | '''ṫjejm-''' → '''ṫjejm-''' + '''-e-''' → '''ṫjejme''' |
| | <small>''interr.'' → ''what?, who?''</small> |
|
| |
|
| ======Imperfective aspect======
| | When taking an adjective role, the root is usually expanded by the adjectival suffix '''-i-'''. |
| The '''imperfective''' is a simple form. In the 1<sup><small>st</small></sup> conjugation the personal endings are added directly to the ''imperfective'' verbal root. In the 2<sup><small>nd</small></sup> and in the 2<sup><small>rd</small></sup> conjugation the thematic vowels (<small>which are lenghtened in their plural forms</small>) and the personal endings are added to the ''imperfective verbal'' root:

| ======Perfective aspect======
| |
| The '''perfective''' is a simple form. In the 1<sup><small>st</small></sup> conjugation the personal endings are added directly to the ''perfective'' verbal root. In the 2<sup><small>nd</small></sup> and in the 2<sup><small>rd</small></sup> conjugation the thematic vowels (<small>which are lenghtened in their plural forms</small>) and the personal endings are added to the ''perfective verbal'' root:

| |

| |
| | |
| ======Progressive aspect======
| |
| The '''progressive''' is a compound form. In all conjugations it is built with the undeclined active imperfective participle of the conjugated verb, and the indicative imperfective forms of the verb sū, ''to be'', as an auxiliary verb:

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| This form is regarded as essentially regular, being the only irregularities in the participial formation.
| |
| | |
| ======Resultative aspect======
| |
| The '''resultative ''' is a compound form. In all conjugations it is built with the undeclined active perfective participle of the conjugated verb, and the indicative imperfective forms of the verb sū, ''to be'', as an auxiliary verb:
| |

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| This form is regarded as essentially regular, being the only irregularities in the participial formation.
| |
| | |
| =====Subjunctive mood=====
| |
| Il modo congiuntivo si compone delle stesse forme aspettuali dell’indicativo, ma viene derivato da quest’ultimo in modi diversi a seconda della coniugazione:
| |
| • 1° coniugazione: prima delle desinenze personali si aggiunge il suffisso -ja al singolare e -jā al plurale
| |
| • 2° coniugazione: la vocale tematica caratteristica della coniugazione viene allungata al singolare e dittongata al plurale.
| |
| • 3° coniugazione: la vocale tematica caratteristica della coniugazione viene allungata al singolare e dittongata al plurale.
| |
| Alcuni verbi possono tuttavia presentare forme di congiuntivo irregolare.
| |
| Ad esempio:
| |
| mām, mangiare, 3° con., → cong. māmja-/māmjā-
| |
| | |
| =====Imperative mood=====
| |
| The '''imperative''' mood is used to convey commands and orders. It is mostly used in main clauses.
| |
| | |
| It displays only one tense, with specific personal endings. It has no forms for the 1<sup><small>st</small></sup> singular person.
| |
| | |
| ======Present tense======
| |
| The '''present''' is a simple tense. The thematic vowel -u- and the imperative personal endings are added to the verbal roots:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 70px;"| ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> sing.</small>'' || style="width: 150px;"| <center>-</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> sing.</small>'' || rowspan="2"| <center>xuvuto</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> sing.</small>''
| |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>xuvum‘ito</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> plur.</small>'' || rowspan="2"| <center>xuvuv‘ito</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> plur.</small>''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The 2<sup><small>nd</small></sup> and 3<sup><small>rd</small></sup> persons display the same endings. The 3<sup><small>rd</small></sup> persons pronouns are thus used to convey the subject, to avoid ambiguities. Conversely, 2<sup><small>nd</small></sup> persons pronouns are usually left out:
| |
| | |
| (k’etex) xownuto!
| |
| <small>(you) sing!</small> | |
| | |
| okex xownuto!
| |
| <small>let him/her sing!</small>
| |
| | |
| =====Non-finite forms=====
| |
| The non-finite verbal forms are:
| |
| | |
| ======Infinitive======
| |
| The '''infinitive''' is regarded as the citation form of the verb, and it is not conjugated in person or number. It is marked by the ending -ew.
| |
| | |
| It displays three tenses, ''present'', ''past'', and ''perfect'', formed through different endings:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>xuvew</center> || <center>xuvow</center> || <center>xuvæw</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| There are, however, a certain amount of irregular verbs in the infinitive. These verbs usually add different endings, or they display an alteration of the last vowel of the root, with possible palatalizing effect. As an example, the conjugation of the infinitive of the verbs ňerow, ''to bring'', and x‘ow, ''to give'', of the is shown.
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |

| |
| | <center>''<small>ňerow</small>''</center> || <center>ňerow</center> || <center>ňeryw</center> || <center>ňeraw</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>''<small>x‘ow</small>''</center> || <center>x‘ow</center> || <center>x‘ɔ</center> || <center>x‘aw</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ======Active participle======
| |
| The '''active participle''' displays three tenses, ''present'', ''past'', and ''perfect'', formed through the thematic vowels. It is marked by the ending -ð‘i:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>xuvoð‘i</center> || <center>xuvyð‘i</center> || <center>xuvað‘i</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The active participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which actively perform an action.
| |
| | |
| Each tense form of the active participle usually does not have distinctive singular and plural forms.
| |
| | |
| There are, however, a certain amount of irregular verbs in the active participle. These verbs usually add different endings, or they display an alteration of the last vowel of the root, with possible palatalizing effect. As an example, the conjugation of the active participle of the verbs ňerow, ''to bring'', and x‘ow, ''to give'', of the is shown.
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"

| |
| | style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>''<small>ňerow</small>''</center> || <center>ňerowð‘i</center> || <center>ňerywð‘i</center> || <center>ňerawð‘i</center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>''<small>x‘ow</small>''</center> || <center>x‘owð‘i</center> || <center>x‘ɔð‘i</center> || <center>x‘awð‘i</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ======Passive participle======
| |
| The '''passive participle''' displays three tenses, ''present'', ''past'', and ''perfect'', formed through the thematic vowels. It is marked by the ending -ňə:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <center>xuvoňə</center> || <center>xuvyňə</center> || <center>xuvaňə</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The passive participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which undergo an action, or inactively are in a certain state.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are, however, a certain amount of irregular verbs in the passive participle. These verbs usually add different endings, or they display an alteration of the last vowel of the root, with possible palatalizing effect. As an example, the conjugation of the passive participle of the verbs ňerow, ''to bring'', and x‘ow, ''to give'', of the is shown.
| | As pronouns, these forms display a complete declension, in which the case forms according to the animacy of the referred noun. |

| |}
| |
| | |
| ====Passive diathesis====
| |
| The ''passive diathesis'' displays only compound forms, in every mood and tense. These forms are always built through the auxiliary verb imɔr, ''to be'' with the various forms of the passive participle, which always agrees with the clause subject in number.
| |
| | |
| The usage of the different moods and tenses is exactly the same as the active diathesis. However, the passive diathesis completely lacks any continuous tense, which are replaced by their non-continuous counterparts.
| |

|
| Examples (<small>for each tense only the 1<sup>st</sup> person singular form is shown</small>):
| | The quality root can refer freely to either animate or inanimate entities. A distinction of animacy can be inferred by the context or by choice of case forms. However, some declined forms can acquire new interrogative meanings depending on the selected case: |
