Verbs and verb modifiers

Verbs follow a similar structure as in English, they can be modified in to different moods and different tenses but do not change based on the pronoun.

The foundation of verbs is the five basic verbs. [sir], [pitu], [da’ik], [id], and [vos]. These are conjugated into the pronoun to convey there meaning. This is seen in the table page of the site.

[sir] = [ir/ri], to be. Also used for animate objects “my friend” -> [inir mu’inas]

[pitu] = [it/ti] to have. “my rock” -> [init baris]

[da’ik] = [ik/ki] to make. “I make dinner” -> [inik tiri’ina]

[id] = [id/di] to feel. “I feel weird” -> [inid siline]

[vos] = [os/so] to move. “I go home” -> [inos romul]

Outside of these five basic verbs verbs are standalone and come after the pronoun. “I eat” -> [in mi’ina]. Verbs are shown in the infinitive form. To change the tense of a verb you will place a modifier at the end of verb

Past complete= [ul/lu]*32

Past continuing = [uli/lu’i]*32

Past progressive = [ula/lu’a]*32

Present progressive  = [ak/ka]*32

Present becoming = [aki/ka’i]*32

Future complete = [ar/ra]*32

Future progressive =[ara/ra’a]*32

Future certin = [ari]*32

Past complete= [ul/lu]. A one-time action in the past “he spoke” -> [son da’arul]

Past continuing = [uli/lu’i] A past action that happened over a duration, while the action may have finished it wasn’t interrupted or still happening “he did speak” -> [son da’aruli]

Past progressive = [ula/lu’a] A past action that was happening and then either interrupted or still happening “he was speaking” -> [son da’arula]

Present progressive  = [ak/ka] a current time action that is happening “he is speaking” -> [son da’arak]

Present becoming = [aki/ka’i] a current time action that is changing “he is starting to speak” -> [son da’araki]

Future complete = [ar/ra] an event in the future that is expected or likely to happen and be a one time event “he may speak” -> [son da’arar]

Future progressive =[ara/ra’a] an event in the future that will take a length of time and may be interrupted, as well the event is likely or expected but not certin. “he will be speaking” -> [son da’arara]

Future certin = [ari] an event in the future that is certain and will happen “he will certainly speak” -> [son da’arari]

A note is that when using a tense and telling a specific time the time is stated directly after the verb with the tense marker. Ie “I ate yesterday” -> [in mi’ina’lu nadilul] or. “I will drink beer tomorrow” -> [in daranar nenadir sabaral]

Next up is the verb moods, these are placed before a verb and modify the intention and meaning of a verb.

[fi] the command mood. This is used to command someone to do something “help me!” -> [fi mis ina]

[fe]&[nu] the conditional mood. [fe] is the initial question and can be used on its own as just a question for a sentence and not a mood, “are you hungry?” -> [fe na’id so’enil?]. the second part [nu] is used for a suggestion like “would/should”. “if you are hungry you should eat” -> [fe na’id so’enil na nu mi’ina]

[len] the potential mood. Used for if something may or might happen or did happen. “I may help you” -> [in len mis na’i]

[su’as] the possibility mood.

[ras] the suggestive mood. This is like [nu] however this is used for an open suggestion only, if the sentence has the part [fe] then use [nu] else use [ras] for an open suggestion that is not a command. “you should sleep” -> [na ras do’ir]

[la’i] the intent mood. This is when you did the verb on purpose when it may be unclear. “I cut my self(on purpose)” v “I cut my self(on accident)” -> [in sipin mun ina] v [in la’I sipin mun ina]

[vin] the necessary mood. For when a verb is needed. “I must fight” -> [in vin do’ilun]
