| TODO: revamp tenses to get split-ergativity, add evidentiality
| |
| | |
| Unlike Qivattutannguaq, Pestonian is NOT pro-drop.
| |
| | |
| There is a 2x2 tense structure: {non-past, past} x {imperfective, perfective}.
| |
| | |
| Ergativity is used in perfect(ive) tenses. The verb agrees with the noun in the absolutive case, and the ergative subject is marked with ''tar'' 'through' plus the accusative case: ''Tar sin teisedõim.'' 'He will find me.'
| |
| | |
| As in Hebrew and Russian, some tenses are pro-drop but some tenses are not.
| |
| | |
| teised "he finds":
| |
| *Non-past imperfective: ja teisia, tu teiser, su/sa/sud teised, am teisim, ju teisid, sir teisud
| |
| *Past imperfective: ja teiser, tu teiset, su/sa/sud teiser, am teiseme, ju teisete, sir teiser
| |
| *Past perfective: teisedim, teiseder, teiseded, teisedime, teisedite, teisedud
| |
| *Future perfective: teisetõim, teisetõir, teisetõid, teisetõime, teisetõite, teisetõjud
| |
| | |
| vinned "he binds":
| |
| *Non-past imperfective: ja vinna, tu vinner, su/sa/sud vinned, am vinnam, ju vinned, sir vinnud
| |
| *Past imperfective: ja vanner, tu vannet, su/sa/sud vanner, am vanneme, ju vannete, sir vanner
| |
| *Past perfective: vandim, vander, vanded, vandime, vandite, vandud
| |
| *Future perfective: vantõim, vantõir, vantõid, vantõime, vantõite, vantõjud
| |
| | |
| teepudad "he rules":
| |
| *Non-past imperfective: ja teepuda, tu teepudar, su teepudad, am teepudam, ju teepudad, sir teepudud
| |
| *Past imperfective: ja teepudar, tu teepudat, su teepudar, am teepudame, ju teepudate, sir teepudar
| |
| *Past perfective: teepudadim, teepudader, teepudaded, teepudadime, teepudadite, teepudadud
| |
| *Future perfective: teepudatõim, teepudatõir, teepudatõid, teepudatõime, teepudatõite, teepudatõjud
