 ====Noun phrase====
 ===Verbs===
+====Weak verbs====
+Kaikiwan weak verbs do not have inflection or conjugation, and thus require a pronoun preceding the verb to understand the aspect of the verb. Most weak verbs are verbs relating to everyday things, e.g. ''tikīa''(to toast), ''néwa''(to work).
+====Strong verbs====
+Kaikiwan strong verbs change form irregularly based on pronoun and context. However, because strong verb conjugations are unique(usually based on intonation), strong verbs do not require a preceding pronoun.
+Strong verbs are often related to the state of a person or what an animal/insect is doing.
