===Verbs=== | |||
Yacavestu verbs come in two tenses: past and nonpast, as well as several auxiliary suffixes. The bare nonpast is both a present habitual and a future tense, e.g. ''axurão'' (speaks). | |||
Yacavestu is relatively unusual in that the verb stem alone is a tenseless negative form: ''axur'' (doesn't speak). Old Yacavestu used to have a consistent system of personal suffixes for verbs but in modern times, the 3rd person singular inanimate form became the default form for all persons and numbers. | |||
There is no infinitive in Yacavestu (it uses subjunctives instead). |
