Azkali language: Difference between revisions

Line 820:

Azkali verbs, unlike nouns, are more fusional than nouns, of which are decisively agglutinative. As shown in the chart in '''Theory''', verbs take direct marking for tense, mood, and voice, with evidentiality being conveyed via auxiliary verbs and or particles (tense and mood are conveyed in the same particle). Azkali verbs are only required to take the affixes for tense and mood; marking for voice and evidentiality are not required, though they are still commonly expressed in everyday parlance. While this section will provide a general overview of how Azkali verbs conjugate, a more in-depth article [[Azkali verbs|is linked]].

The verb is generally the most irregular part of speech in Azkali.

==== First declension group ====

Between 5 and 8 Azkali verbs fall into the first declension group. These constitute some of the most regularly used Azkali verbs. The exact number of verbs that fall into the first declension group is disputed, however five extremely common verbs, being ''isan, esan, hian, eikan,'' and ''rei -'' being ''to be, to eat, to speak, to drink,'' and ''to sleep'' respectively. Unlike most verbs, which fall into the second and third declension groups, verbs that fall under the first declension group face full marking regarding tense and mood. The patterns in the first declension group have been long debated. In the past (i.e between the 1800s and 1980s), first declension group verbs were somewhat more regular. However, due to [[1980 Azkali Plague|the plague]], these forms have became extremely irregular, with few if any patterns between individual forms.

The most irregular verb that falls under the first declension group is ''isan'' - to be. As described in the above chapters, this verb is extremely irregular, far more so than any other verb that falls under the first declension group.

==== Second declension group ====
