Verb Form[edit | edit source]

Performing an Action[edit | edit source]

To say someone is performing an action, use the following sentence structure:

<Verb> <subject> ah <object>

Ajxata mo ah tu.
I love you.

Subject and object are often implied, and only included if the they cannot be determined from the context.

Ajxata.
(I) love (you).

Ajxata por.
(I) love him/her.

ah should only be included when both the subject and object are included in the sentence.

Whether the subject and object can be determined from the context are very important in deciding whether the subject or object can be excluded. For instance, Ajxata por could have multiple interpretations, including "She loves (you)." and "(You) love her." The same applies for just Ajxata. When the subject and/or object cannot be determined from the context, they should be included.

Active State[edit | edit source]

Use ka to describe someone being in a state of performing a verb.

<Verb> ka <subject> ah <object>.

Keyata moli.
(They) attack us.

Keyata ka moli

Commands and orders follow normal verb conjugation, but the verb is preceded by anonum.

Anonum karata.

Anonum karata vo.
