Asinggu verbs
From UniLang Wiki
Verbs are not conjugated in person and number, because the personal pronouns can do that.
They do indicate something, though. ;-)
Mood (expressed with a particle preceding the verb)
- known from experience: usi
- hearsay or known from literature: bera
- opinion: mine
- (scientifically) discovered: gere
Tense (expressed with verb endings)
indicate when something happens.
- remote past ("long ago"): -(u)ntu
- past ("earlier"): -(i)ta
- present ("now"): no ending
- future ("later"): -(i)re
The vowel is dropped if the verb ends in a vowel.
Continuity (expressed with an auxiliary) indicates that something has been going on before and/or will continue later.
- remote past: "used to do"
- past: "have been doing"
- present: "do"
- future: "will still do"
Continuity is formed by conjugating bi followed by the present participle of the main verb.
Present Participle: just add -(i)ng at the end.
Past Participle: just add -(a)do at the end.
