# '''-ir verbs''', descendants of the Latin third and fourth conjugations - like ''hrajðir ''"to believe" (< crēdere), ''hnovskir ''"to know" (< gnōscere), or ''dirmir ''"to sleep" (< dormīre), ''inørnir ''"to intervene" (< intervenīre). Those which descend from the third conjugation are called the '''-øymur '''group as their first person plural present indicative ends like that (e.g. ''hriðøymur ''"we believe"), while those which descend from the fourth one are the '''-ymur '''group (e.g. ''dirmymur ''"we sleep").

# '''-ær/-er verbs''', which do not descend from Latin but are instead made by a generalization of the pre-Wendlandish ''-er ''infinitive suffix added to other roots, like ''milær ''"to smile" (< Old Norse smíla). This is the only currently productive conjugation - e.g. ''forkastsær'' "to have lunch"; modern colloquial ''daunloder ''"to download", ''sælfijer'' "to take a selfie", ''buhojer'' "to get drunk".

Note that verbs from the first three conjugation usually have three principal parts, for infinitive, present, and participle.


==== Present indicative ====
==== Present indicative ====
{| class="article-table"
The present indicative usually has two principal stems: a "stressed" stem, used for the singular and third plural, and an "unstressed" one for first and second plural. The infinitive stem is usually the unstressed one, except for ''-ir'' verbs of the ''-øymur'' group.

Most third conjugation ''-øymur'' verbs have umlaut in their conjugation, namely:
* '''i-umlaut''' in the second and third person singular:
:: ''pjatir'' (to ask): ''jag pjat'', ''tsu pjætir'', ''if pjætit''
:: ''hrajðir'' (to believe): ''jag hrajð'', ''tsu hræðir'', ''if hræðit''
* '''u-umlaut''' in the third person plural:
:: ''pjatir'' (to ask): ''jag pjat'', ... ''ifi pjotunts''
:: ''hrajðir'' (to believe): ''jag hrajð'', ... ''ifi hrøyðunts''
Some ''-æjr'' verbs have ''æj'' in the first person singular and ''a'' in all other stressed-stem forms:
:: ''mæjr'' (to love): ''jag æjm'', ''tsu amar'', ''if amat'', ''novr mømur'', ''vovr mætir'', ''if amints'', ''amatse''
:: ''kanæjr'' (to sing): ''jag kæjnt'', ''tsu kantar'', ''if kantat'', ''novr kanømur'', ''vovr kanætir'', ''if kantints'', ''kantatse''.
