===Verbs===

Many significant changes have happened to the verb system since Old Norse, notably both the mood and voice distinctions have been lost. The active indicative has descended into the present and past tense, while the active subjunctive was lost entirely. The ~~oppositive happened in the~~ mediopassive~~, with the subjunctive becoming~~ the future and ~~stative, while~~ the ~~indicative was lost~~.

Many significant changes have happened to the verb system since Old Norse, notably both the mood and voice distinctions have been lost. The active indicative has descended into the present and past tense, while the active subjunctive was lost entirely. The mediopassive became the future and imperative (the mood distinction in the mediopassive largely having already collapsed in Old Norse). The reciprocal, original formed through the mediopassive, has entirely been replaced by {{l|snon|hinhar}}.

The original mediopassive indicative only remains in a small set of verbs, acting as a reciprocal, typically physical actions taken towards others, like {{l|snon|}} ("to fight"), {{l|snon|slà}} ("to hit"), {{l|snon|}} ("to embrace"), as well as a few abstract verbs, ~~such as {{l|snon|elsc}} ("to love"). Otherwise it's~~ been replaced by {{l|snon|~~hinnar~~}}

Verbs have reduced to such a limited number of forms that analogy and sound changes have leveled them all down to essentially one pattern (excluding a few irregular verbs), which seemingly descends from Old Norse's weak class 2 pattern.

====Suppletive verbs====

There are very few known suppletive verbs in Scots Norse, the main one being the copula ''vèr'', and even it has been leveled by many speakers.

"er" and "var" are the more prevalent forms, but the regularized forms "vèrir" and "vèradhir" are also rather common.
