===Verbs=== | == Verbs == | ||
Akhyan verbs exhibit a highly dynamic conjugation system that forms a core component of Akhyan's grammar. Verbs are notable for their morphological complexity, undergoing a wide range of conjugations based on specific grammatical attributes. Each verb root adapts to reflect these features, enabling to convey subtle distinctions in action, state, and the relationships between subject, object, and predicate. | |||
Verbs in Akhyan are classified into three primary categories according to transitivity: Transitive ('''Kerraż''' | '''ကဲရ်ရၓ်'''), Intransitive ('''Padaizma''' | '''ပဒေဓ်မ'''), and Ambitransitive ('''Dosthu''' | '''ဒးသ်ထု'''). Transitive verbs, such as '''Girtan''' ('''ဂိရ်တန်''' “to carry”), require a direct object to complete their meaning. In contrast, intransitive verbs like '''Naman''' ('''နမန်''' “to sleep”) function independently of an object. Ambitransitive verbs demonstrate greater flexibility, operating as either transitive or intransitive depending on syntactic context. | |||
==== Building Verbs ==== | |||
Verbs are fundamentally composed of a root, conventionally represented by the mathematical symbol √. This root serves as the base form from which various grammatical features such as tense, person, number, mood, and voice, where they are all derived through morphological modification. For example, the root '''√girt'''- (or '''√ဂိရ္တ်-''') functions as the base for the verb Girtan ('''ဂိရ်တန်'''), meaning “to carry.” Some modifications are simple, meanwhile others can be complex & even incorporate two modification methods together. | |||
=== Non-Finite Forms === | |||
Non-finite forms of verbs do not express tense, person, or number, and therefore cannot function as the main verb of an independent clause. The non-finite verb system encompasses imperatives, infinitives, gerunds, and participles. | |||
