=====Bipersonal (prefix) conjugation=====
The prefix conjugation is used for non-imperative transitive verbs (verbs that can take an agent and a patient).

|-
! Netagin !! Gloss
|-
| ''fa''<sup>D</sup>- || Inverse ({{sc|inv}})
|}
The inverse prefix is called ''fó mágham'' ('flipping/inverting ''fó''') in Netagin. Note that the inverse prefix geminates/de-lenites the personal prefix consonant.

| ''-(a)'' || Affirmative ({{sc|aff}})
|-
| ''-cú'' || Affirmative focus ({{sc|aff.foc}})
|-
| ''-hí'' || Negative ({{sc|neg}})
|-
| ''-náˀ'' || Negative focus ({{sc|neg.foc}})
|}
All of the above suffixes are stressed. The focused suffixes emphasize the truth value and are therefore used to answer yes/no questions.

|-
!colspan="2"|Pluractionality suffix
|-
! Netagin !! Gloss
|-
| ''-nn'' || Pluractional ({{sc|plax}})
|}
The pluractionality suffix never affects the thematic vowel in irregular verbs, unlike other suffixes beginning with a consonant.
