==== Serial verb construction ====

Serial verbs are two or more verbs that are strung together in a single clause. In Azkali, each verb shares a single marker ''-(a)ko'', which every verb in the construction must be marked with. They are only conjugated for this marker, and do not take any marking for tense or mood.

==== Peculiarities ====

Azkali verbs have several peculiarities that seperate them from how other languages treat verbs. Here are several examples:

===== Impersonal verbs =====

===== '''Impersonal verbs''' =====

Impersonal verbs are verbs that have no definite subject, for example the verb "to rain". Most, but not all impersonal verbs are atmospheric verbs, i.e "to rain", "to be hot", etc. Azkali treats these types of verbs strangely, changing the strategies it uses for the three tenses it conjugates for.

=== Adpositions ===

Azkali ~~pre~~

Adpositions are words that express spatial, temporal, or semantic roles. In Azkali, adpositions feature as a whole prepositions, which proceed their complement, postpositions, which follow their complement, and several circumpositions, which are affixed on both sides of their complement.
