Compared to Contemporary Azkali and other older forms, modern Azkali conjugation has substantially been simplified. The three paradigms of Contemporary Azkali have collapsed into two; this process occured between roughly the 1800s to 1900s, but usage of the older conjugation was recorded as being commonplace in some parts of Azkali and Sunteria into the early 2000s. | Compared to Contemporary Azkali and other older forms, modern Azkali conjugation has substantially been simplified.

Grammatical mood is a grammatical concept that allows the speaker themself to express their attitude towards what they are saying. There are four grammatical moods in Azkali, but there are three main ones, usually referred to in their native Azkali names - the ''Zemizkasi'', ''Retzihasi'', and ''Irrotitzue''. The Zemizkasi mood is an indicative mood, used when referring to factual statements as viewed by the speaker. The Retzihasi mood is a conditional mood, used when referring to an event which is dependent on another event to occur. The Irrotitzue mood is a hypothetical mood, used when referring to an event that could have happened, but did not. | |||
