This example is somewhat misleading, as a more analytical construction would be used colloquially, but is still representative of most formal texts. | This example is somewhat misleading, as a more analytical construction would be used colloquially, but is still representative of most formal texts. | ||
Verbs, structurally speaking, are much more simpler than nouns. Azkali verbs only conjugate for tense and mood, with the exception of ''isan'' (to be) and ''huka'' (to do), which conjugate differently in regards to person. There is one conjugation which is extremely regular. Azkali conjugation remains remarkably simpler when compared to it's surrounding languages in different language families; compound verbal forms are extremely simple | Verbs, structurally speaking, are much more simpler than nouns.

Azkali is a ''strictly'' subject-verb-object language, contrasting with its neighboring Mallo-Brausian and Paleo-Azkali languages. Pronouns are never deleted, even when they are clear by context; as such, Azkali is classified as an anti [[w:Pro-drop_language|pro-drop language]]. The lack of deleting pronouns when they are clear by context is a relatively new phenomena, caused by the drastic simplification of Azkali conjugation between the 1900s and 2000s. Azkali frequently employs [[w:Serial_verb_construction|serial verb constructions]], especially in cases in which the verbs occur as a part of the same larger action, or if they occur simultaneously. | Azkali is a ''strictly'' subject-verb-object language, contrasting with its neighboring Mallo-Brausian and Paleo-Azkali languages.
