===Verbs=== | ===Verbs=== | ||
====Finite verb inflection==== | |||
All forms of a {{PAGENAME}} verb are formed from four principal parts: | |||
#the present absolute stem | |||
#the imperative stem | |||
#the past stem | |||
#the bare infinitive stem | |||
The forms of a {{PAGENAME}} verb are the following: | |||
*Present tense: PRESENT + ''-ig'', negative ''θri'' + IMPERATIVE | |||
*Subjunctive (after preverbs): also IMPERATIVE | |||
*Future tense: ''aeb'' + IMPERATIVE | |||
*Past tense: PAST + ''-in''; induces split-ergativity | |||
*Imperative: IMPERATIVE | |||
*''-eod'' infinitive: PRESENT + -eod | |||
*bare infinitive: INFINITIVE | |||
There is no aspect distinction. | |||
====Other forms==== | |||
*The active participle in ''-ig'' is used to modify a noun. As such it is used as a relative form for the subject. | |||
*The ''-et'' infinitive: | |||
**is used with modal verbs. | |||
*The ''-eγ'' infinitive: | |||
**with ''zi'' 'in', indicates "while the action is taking place" or, when possessed, "while POSSESSOR is VERBing" | |||
**with ''ar'' 'on', indicates "upon/as soon as the action is taking place" or, when possessed, "upon the POSSESSOR's VERBing" | |||
**with ''nai'' 'by', indicates that the verb's action serves a purpose: "by VERBing" | |||
*The bare infinitive: | |||
**with ''zi'' 'in', indicates the progressive. | |||
**with ''jel'' 'from', indicates (from just having been VERB-ing) | |||
**with ''ħrù'' 'next to', indicates "intends to VERB" or "about to VERB" | |||
**with ''asd'' 'without', indicates "without VERBing" | |||
**(nonstandard) with ''ħand'' 'after', indicates that the action just happened. | |||
====Split-ergativity==== | |||
{{PAGENAME}} has split-ergativity: past tense verbs display ergative alignment, and non-past tense verbs have accusative alignment. | |||
That is, the subject is marked with the preposition ''u'' for transitive verbs, and is unmarked for intransitive verbs. In the case of transitive verbs, the ergative marking occurs regardless of whether or not there is a direct object. | |||
Examples: | |||
{{col-begin}} | |||
{{col-break}} | |||
'''Transitive verbs''' | |||
:''Xabin '''u''' na.'' | |||
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG | |||
:'I have eaten.' | |||
:''Xabin '''u''' na n sáeng.'' | |||
:eat.PRET ERG 1SG DEF bread | |||
:'I have eaten the bread.' | |||
:''A tjéobrjeong '''u''' na n kéolsjang χa.'' | |||
:but leave.PRET ERG 1SG DEF glh_schanng there | |||
:'But I left the ''glh schanng'' (kefir-soaked Bjeheondian salad) there.' | |||
{{col-break}} | |||
'''Intransitive verbs''' | |||
:''Eoseong eo már.'' | |||
:die.PRET DEF tree/PL | |||
:'The trees died.' | |||
:''Farjeogin meo nóγeol χaltan.'' | |||
:return.PRET 1PL.EXC.POSS dog/PL at_last | |||
:'Our dogs finally returned.' | |||
{{col-end}} | |||
====Strong verbs==== | |||
As in Germanic, some Anbirese verbs form the past tense and the ''-eod'' infinitive by using ablaut. | |||
===Prepositions=== | ===Prepositions=== | ||
If the prepositional object is a pronoun, the genitive form of the pronoun is used: ''la nà'' = to me, for me. | If the prepositional object is a pronoun, the genitive form of the pronoun is used: ''la nà'' = to me, for me. | ||
