Vistheimian verb conjugation
verbs are actions or doing words and can change tense.
The word order of this Vistheimian is VSO so verbs always go first.
Here we will learn how to change tense and mood of regular verbs. *
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
infinitives.
Verbs found in the dictionary. They can go directly after another conjugated verb.
eg. "eolsyja" - "to love"
base form - nonpast
To form the base form some vowels change.
Any "y" becomes a "e".
Any "eo" becomes a "a".
Any "ii" becomes a "i".
The base form is the non past so could refer to either the future or the present
If "y" or "eo" are not in the verb to begin with it looks the same as the infinitive.
eg. "eolsyja" -> "alseja"
"za" form - near future
"za" means "in" however can be used to modify the base form to make the near future
It goes directly after the base form.
eg. "alseja" -> "alseja za"
"ii" form - future/conditional
"ii" is put on the end of a clause to put the base form into the future or conditional tense.
Context determines which form it is. Another use of this is to say something is something.
To do this you don't use a verb at the start.
eg. "alseja" -> "alseja ... ii".
"ny" form - present continuous
works the same way as the "ii" form. "ny" literally means now.
This is used if something is actively happening.
eg. "alseja" -> "alseja ... ii".

past stem
The past stem is never actually used however it is necessary to form the perfect and imperfect/habitual past.
all you do is simply take of the last vowel of the base verb. some verbs do not end in vowels so leave them
the same.
eg. "alseja" -> "alsej"
perfect past tense
This is used when you did something at a specific point in time. To conjugate the verb add "-oa" to the end of the past stem.
eg. "alsej" -> "alsejoa"
imperfect past tense/ habitual past
Used if talking about how you did something over a period of time in the past or you used to do it.
To conjugate the verb add "-on" to the end of the past stem.
eg. "alsej" -> "alsejon"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
negatives
To negate a verb simply put "nai" onto the end of the sentence. this is the last thing a sentence could end with
and goes after "ii" and "ny".
