'''Aarlaansk''' is a language spoken in ''Hies Aarlaans'' (= The Aarlaans), a country that, in a different reality, inclues The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, a part of our Germany and our Denmark.
'''Aarlaansc''' is a language spoken in ''Hijs Aarlaans'' (= the Aarlaans), a country that, in a different reality, inclues The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, a half of our France and a part of our Switzerland.
The term ''Aarlaansk'' means "(the language) of the Aarlaans". The origin of the ethnonym hasn't been completely explained yet: the most probable hypothesis explains that "Aarlaans" is a contraction of "Aarvers plaans", that is "plains of the tree", ''aarvers'' is an archaic genitive case of the term ''aarf'', "tree", and ''plaans'' is the plural form of the term ''plaan'', "plain". The fact that in old documents, the ethnonym ''Aarlane'' is also found and that the word ''plaan'' has got an archaic plural form ''plane'', supports this hypothesis.

The fact that in old documents, the ethnonym ''Aarlane'' is also found and that the word ''laan'' has got an archaic plural form ''lane'', supports this hypothesis.
But why should the Romans have given this place the name of "plains of the tree"? The explanation was found only in 2609 ab U.c. (that is circa 1856 of our era): during an archaeological excavation it was found a table that dates back to 867 ab U.c. (circa 114 of our era), on this table was written the anecdote of the defeat of Germanic Tribes in a Northern territory by the Roman army of Trajan. According to this narration, the emperor had a prophetic dream: the Roman army would have won, only if it had attacked the Germanic tribes far from the forest, in an endless plain. The sign that would have shown the right place would have been a solitary tree, the only one within this immense plain. History teaches us that in the '''Battle of Vloerijgen''' (866 ab U.c., that is 113 d.C.) the future country of ''Aarlaans'' became a part of Roman Empire.

Aarlaansk is a ''Romance language'' that descends from Vulgar Latin, even if, in spite of other languages of the same family, in Aarlaansk many common terms derive from Classical latin.
Aarlaansc is a ''Romance language'' that descends from Vulgar Latin, even if, in spite of other languages of the same family, in Aarlaansc many common terms derive from Classical Latin. Moreover the Aarlaansc contains many terms of Celtic - specifically of Gaulish - origin and also many terms of Germanic origin: circa 65% of Aarlaansc words comes from Latin, circa 23% comes from Gaulish and circa 12% comes from Germanic.
The lexicon is almost completely of Latin origin (99% of Aarlaansk words derive from Latin).

When voiced consonants are found in final position, they are devoiced and become voiceless. The ''g'', ''z'' and ''v'' can be pronounced respectively [χ], [s] and [f] when at the beginning of a word, this pronounciation is not compulsory and is rather dialectal.

===Diphthongs, false diphthongs and vowel length===
===Diphthongs, false diphthongs and vowel length===


In Aarlaansk there are only three diphthongs:
In Aarlaansc there are only three diphthongs:


* ''ei'' [ɛi̯];
* ''ei'' [ɛi̯] > [ə];
* ''ou'' [au̯];
* ''ou'' [au̯];
* ''ui'' [œy].
* ''ui'' [ɶy] (someone pronounces it as [ai̯], but it is considered uncorrect and dialectal).


The diphthong ''ei'' is used only in unstressed syllable, otherwise it is used the letter ''ij'', ex.: ''henTIJL'', "pagan" > ''henteiLIE'', "paganism".
In these diphthongs the last ''i'' is always written ''i'', no matter if the syllable is long or short.
There are also other "vocalic combinations" that represent a long vowel instead, thus they are called '''false diphthongs''' or just '''long vowels''':
There are also other "vocalic combinations" that represent a long vowel instead, thus they are called '''false diphthongs''' or just '''long vowels''':


* eu [ø:];
* ''eu'' [ø:];
* ie [i:];
* ''ie'' [i:];
* oe [u:].  
* ''oe'' [u:].  


A diaeresis divides two vowels that, otherwise, would form a diphthong, ex.: ''ïe'' [‘ie], "they"; ''zoüüt'' [zo'y:t], "greeting". The diphthongs, the false diphthongs and the letter ''ij'' (that really indicates the same diphthong as ''ei'') are always long in Aarlaansk, while the letters ''i'' and ''y'' are always short. The letters ''a'', ''e'', ''o'', and ''u'' can be both short and long, instead. To indicate the vowel length of these four vowels, this language uses a special system that is based on the kind of syllables.

The letters ''a'', ''e'', ''o'', and ''u'' can be both short and long, instead. To indicate the vowel length of these four vowels, this language uses a special system that is based on the kind of syllables.


There are two kind of syllables: they can be both open and closed. A syllable is open when it ends with a vowel (so ''ma'', ''te'', ''ko'', ''su'' are all open syllables); a syllable is closed when it ends with a consonant (so ''mat'', ''tek'', ''kos'', ''sum'' are all closed syllables).

Line 204: Line 204:
«'''When a long vowel is found in an open syllable, it is written once, whereas if it is found in a closed syllable, it is written twice.'''»
«'''When a long vowel is found in an open syllable, it is written once, whereas if it is found in a closed syllable, it is written twice.'''»


That is to say that short vowels are never found in open syllables, but only in closed ones. In both these cases (short vowel in closed syllable and long vowel in open syllable) the vowels are written once. When a long vowel occurs in a closed syllable, then it is written twice,ex.:

* in ''ma'' and ''maat'' the a's are long; in ''mat'' the a is short;
* in ''te'' and ''teek'' the e's are long; in ''tek'' the e is short;
* in ''ko'' and ''koos'' the o's are long; in ''kos'' the o is short;
* in ''su'' and ''suum'' the u's are long; in ''sum'' the u is short.
 
This rule has got one last implication: if the syllabic division changes, then there could be grafic changes, ex.:
This rule has got one last implication: if the syllabic division changes, then there could be grafic changes, ex.:


Line 216: Line 210:
* ''mat'' (''a'' is short) > ''mat'''t'''e'' (''a'' remains short, but a short vowel occurs never in an open syllable, so we need to double the following consonant to maintain the syllable closed).
* ''mat'' (''a'' is short) > ''mat'''t'''e'' (''a'' remains short, but a short vowel occurs never in an open syllable, so we need to double the following consonant to maintain the syllable closed).


===Digraphs and trigraphs===
However, when a vowel forms a diphthong with ''j'' or ''w'', it is written doubled when it is long, ex.:


Aarlaansk has got two digraphs, that are ''ch'', that is read [χ], and ''ck'', that is read [k] and represents the double k. There is only a trigraph, ''sch'' that is read [ʃ].
* ''hooj'', "today", is read ['ho:i̯], ''o'' is long;
* ''raj'', "ray", is read ['ʀɑi̯], ''a'' is short.
 
There are also words whose pronunciation is tricky: how is the word ''deeuw'', "god", pronounced? Either as ['de:ɶu̯] or as ['dεø:u̯]? Do the vowels ''e'' and ''u'' form a diphthong or a hiatus? In such cases it is used a dieresis to help the reader. The dieresis indicates that the following vowel doesn't form a diphthong, f.ex. the word ''deeuw'' is written ''dëeuw'': the dieresis indicates that the second ''e'' isn't part of a long ''e'', but it is part of the diphthong ''eu'', thus ''dëeuw'' is read as ['dεø:u̯].


==Stress==
==Stress==


The stress usually falls on the last syllable, this is particularly true for the infinitive and for the simple past of the verbs, for the feminine nouns that end in ''-el'', for the nouns that end in ''-ie''.
The stress usually falls on the last syllable, this is particularly true for infinitive and for simple past of verbs, for feminine nouns (nouns that indicate a female being) that end in ''-ew'', for nouns that end in ''-ie'' and in ''-oen''.
Generally the nouns and the adjective ending in ''e-'', ''-em'', ''-en'', ''-el'' (except for the feminine nouns) and ''-er'' are stressed on the last but one syllable.
Generally nouns and adjectives ending in ''-e'', ''-em'', ''-en'', ''-ew'' (except for feminine nouns) and ''-er'' are stressed on the last but one syllable.
However it is advisable to learn the pronunciation of every word as you learn them.

==Nouns, gender and number==
==Nouns, gender and number==


Nouns in Aarlaansk can be either '''common''' or '''neuter''': the previously masculine and feminine genders have merged into the common one, whereas the neuter has remained the same. Nouns have got two forms: '''singular''', that indicates one object, person, animal, concept, and so forth, and '''plural''', that indicates more than one object, person, animal, concept, and so on.

Nouns have got two forms: '''singular''', that indicates one object, person, animal, concept, and so forth, and '''plural''', that indicates more than one object, person, animal, concept, and so on.
 
Generally the plural is formed with the terminations:
 
1) ''-s'', if the noun ends with a vowel or ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'';


2) ''-e'', if the noun ends with a consonant (except ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'').
Generally the plural is formed with the termination ''-s'', but if the noun ends already with an '-s', then no further ending is added, that is the singular and the plural forms are the same.
 
The substantives that end with ''-f'' or ''-s'' mutate ''f'' into ''v'' and ''s'' into ''z'', ex.: ''zilf'', "wood, forest", has got a plural ''zilve'', "woods, forests"; ''tens'', "time", has got a plural ''tenze'', "times".

Some nouns show some changes in their structure:
* ''zilf'' > ''zilve'';
* ''baas'' > ''baze''.
This is due to the phonetic rules: in the word ''zilf'', the ''f'' becomes voiced due to its position between a voiced consonant and a vowel, so ''zilf'' becomes ''zilve''.
The last word, ''baas'', shows a change in the written form of the long vowel and at the same time a voicing of the last consonant.


==Articles==
==Articles==


In Aarlaansk there are two kinds of article: '''definite article''' and '''indefinite article'''. The first is used to talk about things, people, concepts that are already known by both the speaker and the listener, whereas the indefinite article introduces concepts, things, people that are new.
In Aarlaansc there are two kinds of article: '''definite article''' and '''indefinite article'''. The first is used to talk about things, people, concepts that are already known by both the speaker and the listener, whereas the indefinite article introduces concepts, things, people that are new.
The indefinite article is just one: ''uin'' and it is used with both common and neuter nouns, it hasn't got a plural form, so the only way to make an indefinite plural is to omit it, ex.: ''uin masie'', "a house", ''masies'', "houses", but also "some houses".
The indefinite article is just one: ''uin'' and it is used with both common and neuter nouns, it has got also a plural form, ''uins'', that indicates a "group of", "some", f.ex.: ''uin masie'', "a house", ''uins masies'', "some houses".


The definite article has got a gender differentiation in the singular but a common form in the plural:

The higher degree comparatives are always used with ''de'', ex.:
The ordinals ending with -es are stressed on the last syllable (ex. ''cvijncaGES''), whereas the ones ending with -en are generally stressed on the last but one syllable (ex. ''ZEFten''), but one needs to be careful: those ending with -dic are stressed on the last but one syllable (ex. ''TREDdic'') and those ending with -quent are stressed on the last syllable (ex. cveinGENT).
 
Ordinal number are always stressed on the last syllable (ex. deidiquEN, noengenTES).
* ''Toe est mellier de eg'' - You are better than I.
 
The synthetic forms are more used in the written language, whereas the analytical ones are found mostly in the spoken language.

The unstressed accusative form precedes the verb, while the stressed one follows it. The stressed forms are used after prepositions or to emphasize complements.
The unstressed accusative form precedes the verb, while the stressed one follows it (except when the pronoun is linked to the verbs in infinitive and imperative). The stressed forms are used after prepositions or to emphasize complements.The pronouns

The ''comitative'' forms represent the locution ''with + pronouns''.
The ''e'' in the pronouns ''me'', ''te'', ''se'', ''le'', ''em'', ''ne'', ''we'', ''es'' is read as [ə]. This is the main difference between ''es'' [əs], "them", and ''es'' [εs], "you are" / "he is".
The pronoun ''toe'' becomes ''oe'' when follows the verb in questions.
The pronoun ''woes'' has got two distinct form: ''woes/we/wuusc'' and ''u/u/usc''. These forms are not interchangeable, as the form ''u'' is used as polite form. The reflexive of this form is however still ''we''.

==Verbs==
===Relatives, interrogatives and exclamatives===


===Simple present===
The main relatives are:


The present tense, or '''prezent'' in Aarlaansk, expresses an action that happens regularly, that is habitual or that happens around the moment of the speech.

!'''Pronoun'''
!'''Meaning'''
|-
|''qui''
|who
|-
|''que''
|that, which
|-
|''cui''
|whose
|}


====Present of ''zer'' ("to be") and ''haar'' ("to have")====
Some examples:


The verbs '''zer''' and '''haar''' are two of the main verbs in Aarlaansk and they are irregular as in most other languages. Here it is the conjugation of these two verbs in the present tense:
* ''Hij sier qui eg noesc es bon.'' - The man who(m) I know is gentle.
* ''Hij cat que eg haf wist es parf.'' - The cat that/which I've seen is little.
* ''Hijs sierels cui vijls haan mort sunt ils.'' - The women whose sons have died are those.
 
'''Qui''' and '''que''' can be used as interrogatives and exclamatives too, f.ex.:
 
* ''Qui es is?'' - Who is he?
* ''Que vagt oe?'' - What are you doing?
 
'''Cui''' cannot be used in interrogatives, instead of it it is used '''a qui''':
 
* ''A qui es ist liver?'' - Whose is this book?
 
We have to pay attention to translate the English word ''what''. In some cases it can be translated as ''cou'':
 
* ''Cou anuin nit!'' - What a beautiful name!
* ''Cou es tuis anuin?'' - What's your name?
 
Relatives can be used also as interrogatives or exclamatives and the axamples above show it clearly. Other interrogatives are:
 
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Interrogatives'''

|-
|''cand''
|when
|-
|''coem''
|how
|-
|''cvot'' / ''cvots''
|how much / how many
|-
|''cuir''
|why
|}
 
''Cuir'' is used both in questions and answers; ''unt'' and ''cand'' can be used also as a sort of relatives:
 
* ''Cuir vleet oe?'' - Why do you cry?
* ''Cuir eg som meist.'' - Because I'm sad.
* ''Hij wil, unt eg wijf.'' - The city where I live.
* ''Cvots eers coegt le?'' - How much money does she need? (''eer'', "money", is a countable noun in Aarlaansk and has got both singular and plural)
* ''Hoe tens, cand eg veu uin juiven.'' - The time when I was a boy.
 
== Adverbs ==
 
There are two kinds of adverbs in Aarlaansc: ''primitive adverbs'' and ''derived adverbs''.
Primitive adverbs are adverbs that don't derive from other categories, but that exist just as adverbs, some examples are:
 
* ''regt'' - well, fine;
* ''mou'', ''eger'' - bad;
* ''maan'' - early;
* ''roe'' - late;
* ''iest'' - near;
* ''prool'' - far;
* ''pront'' - soon;
...
 
Derived adverbs derive from adjectives, to which the suffix ''-er'' is added, ex.:
 
* ''coud'' > ''couder'' - warmly;
* ''vrijgt'' > ''vrijgter'' - coldly;
* ''corsjaal'' > ''corsjaler'' - cordially;
* ''vort'' > ''vorter'' - strongly;
* ''vraal'' > ''vraler'' - weakly;
* ''queller'' > ''quellerrer'' - quickly;
* ''lent'' > ''lenter'' - slowly;
...
 
<!--
Adverbs can be positioned wherever we want, but it is necessary to remember these rules:
 
1) adverbs can be positioned between subject and verb, but if this verb is the verb ''bjon'', then the adverb is positioned after the verb;
 
2) adverbs can be positioned between auxiliary verbs and the taken verbs.
 
====Place adverbs====
 
As it has been seen in the chapter about demonstratives, some place adverbs - ''her'', ''ter'' and ''jon'' - inflect to indicate a state, a movement towards or a movement from. Also the adverb ''hwer'', "where", inflects:
 
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Form'''
!'''Hwer'''
!'''Her'''
!'''Ter'''
!'''Jon'''
|-
!'''State'''
|hwer

|ter
|jon
|-
!'''Movement to'''
|hweder
|heder
|teder
|jonner
|-
!'''Movement from'''
|hwens
|hens
|tens
|jons
|}
 
The adverb ''hwer'' / ''hweder'' / ''hwens'' can be used also as a relative, ex.:
 
* ''Se stof her is se tůn, hwens y kume'' - This place is the town where I come from;
* ''Kerdit was se tůn, hweder y skolle gån'' - Cardiff was the town where I had to go to.
 
The adverb ''hwer'' also has the form ''hwerjen'', but it is used only in the expression ''elles hwerjen'', "elsewhere".
 
When ''hweder'' and ''hwens'' are used as interrogative adverbs, they can be written separately, ex.:
 
* ''Hwens kimtů?'' or ''Hwer kimtů hinnes?'' - Where do you come from?
* ''Hweder gåtů?'' or ''Hwer gåtů hider?'' - Where are you going to?
 
Other place adverbs are: ''ålhwer'', "somewhere", and ''nålhwer'', "nowhere".
 
====Time adverbs====
 
The adverb ''hwonne'', "when", can be used both as interrogative and relative. Other time adverbs are:
 
* ''nů'' - now;
* ''tann'' - then;
* ''ivorn'' - before;
* ''eften'' - after;
* ''ålhwon'' - some times;
* ''injakli'' - usually;
* ''jaltyd'' - always;
* ''åfre'' - ever;
* ''nåfre'' - never;
* ''elles tyd'' / ''elstyd'' - another time.
 
Frequency can be expressed also with numerals and ''-nes'' suffix, ex.:
 
* ''ån > ånnes'' - once;
* ''twejn > twejnnes'' - twice;
* ''try > trynes'' - thrice;
* ''vjor > vjornes'' - four times;
* ''vy > vifnes'' (!) - five times;
* ''sys > sysnes'' - six times...
 
Expressions such as "Eight times a week" are translated as ''Jåtnes an wuke''.
 
====Manner adverbs====
 
Manner adverbs are created from adjectives with the suffix ''-i''. The interrogative and relative manner adverb is ''hů'', "how". Some times manner adverbs inflect and have a higher degree comparative and a superlative, ex.:
 
* ''glå - glår - glåst'' (happily - happilier - happiliest);
* ''strengi - strengir - strenglist'' (strongly - stronglier - strongliest).
 
Some adverbs have an irregular comparative and superlative form:
 
* ''jarwe - beter - best'';
* ''lyter - wyrs - wyrst'';
* ''micel - mår - måst'' (much - more - most);
* ''(an) lit / liten - lass - last'' (little - less - least).
 
Both ''gryti'' and ''micel'' can be used to mean "very", ex.: ''tů jart gryti'' / ''micel sken'' - You are very beautiful.
-->
 
== Prepositions ==
 
Aarlaansc has got many different prepositions to express relations between the elements of the sentence. The most important are:

|Somewhere over the rainbow
|}
 
A note about the usage of the prepositions ''i'' and ''a'': when they precedes a word which begins with a vowel, this word is modified by adding respectively an ''n'' or a ''d'', ex.:
 
* ''I n-aw'' - In the water;
* ''A d-aw'' - Of water.

====Present of regular verbs====
====Present of regular verbs====


The infinitive form of almost all verbs ends with ''-er''. The regular verbs are formed adding particular endings to the root form. The root form of a verb is obtained just dropping the infinitive ending and adding the personal endings. Of course to obtain the root form is necessary to pay attention to the vowel length, that must be maintained (unless the verb is irregular). Moreover if the verb root ends with ''-v'' or ''-z'', these letters become unvoiced in the three singular persons voices.
There are IV different verbal classes in Aarlaansk. They can be recongnised thanks to infinitive form:
 
* I: infinitive ending with ''-aar'';
* II: infinitive ending with ''-ier'';
* III: infinitive ending with ''-re'' or with ''-(e)r'';
* IV: infinitive ending with ''-ijr''.

Pay attention the the verbs whose root form ends with a long vowel or a diphthong followed by ''-d'': in the 1st and 2nd singular persons of the present of indicative the ''-d(t)'' ending is often omitted in the speech, ex.: ''toe rij(dt)'', "you laugh".
The verbs of the 4th class whose root ends with a vowel (or a diphthong) add ''-d'' ending to 1st person singular, but this consonant can be omitted, ex.: ''eg ood'' > ''eg o''; ''eg wijd'' > ''eg wij''.

Aarlaansk has got some irregular verbs too. Often the infinitive of these verbs doesn't end with ''-er'', but with slightly different endings. Some other verbs have got the regular infinitive ending ''-er'', but are irregular. Here it can be seen the present tense of the verbs ''vaar'' (to do), ''ijr'' (to go), ''daar'' (to give), ''duir'' (to lead) and ''vluer'' (to flow, to slip by):

The irregularities are not systematic: how it can be seen, both ''vaar'' and ''daar'' have got an infinitive in ''-aar'', but the former has got a root form ''vach-'' in the three singular persons, whereas the latter has got a root form ''doe-''. More systematic (but not ever) are the verbs whose infinitive ends in ''-Ver'': in the three singular persons the root form ends in ''-Vf'', ex.: ''id pluft'', "it rains", from ''pluer'', ''eg me laf'', "I wash (myself)", from ''laer-ze'', and so on.
The irregularities are not systematic: how it can be seen, both ''vaar'' and ''daar'' have got an infinitive in ''-aar'', but the former has got a root form ''vag-'' in the three singular persons and in the impersonal form, whereas the latter has got a root form ''doe-''. More systematic (but not ever) are the verbs whose infinitive ends in ''-uir'', ex.: ''id pluigt'', "it rains", from ''pluir'', and so on.
However it is best to control in the dictionary how the root form of the irregular verbs changes.

===Impersonal form===
To express actions that are performed by an unknown subject or to hide the subject of a verb in Aarlaansk we can use the '''impersonal form'''.
In Aarlaansc there are two impersonal forms:
* '''id''' + 3rd person singular verb, which is used also to translate "it" when we talk about verbs that haven't got a subject, as in the example ''id pluigt'', "it rains";
* ''impersonal form of the verb'', which is another downright person that has got its own ending and whose pronoun is never expressed. It mainly corresponds to English "they" or to passive construction, f.ex.: ''Dijctur ca Hijs Aarlaans sunt vrijgt'' > "They say that The Aarlaans are cold".
The biggest difference between the ''id-form'' and the ''impersonal form'' is that '''id can never substitute a subject that actually exists and can never substitute the passive form''', whereas the ''impersonal form'' can, ex.:
* ''Hooj id nift'' - Today it snows;
* ''Wijdtur hij vuim, que iest af hij cammijn'' - They see the smoke that comes out from the chimney.
The impersonal form is formed by adding ''-ur'' to the 3rd person singular form of the verb.


===Simple past===
===Simple past===


The past tense, ''preterrit'' in Aarlaansk, is used to express an action that has happened in the past, independently on when it has happened, if it is ended or not, if it affects the present and so on. It corresponds to English past simple and present perfect.

Beside the ''preterrit'' there is another verbal form that expresses an action that has happened in the past: the '''pervecht'''. This form is similar to the English present perfect, because it is formed with the present of the verb ''haar'' and the past participle of the main verb. In Aarlaansk, however, this form is completely interchangeable with the ''preterrit'' form: it is just a matter of style and of formality, because the ''pervecht'' is more used among friends and in colloquial speech, whereas the ''preterrit'' is more used in written language and in formal meetings.

As it can be seen, the past participle of the regular verbs is formed by adding the ending ''-it'' to the root form. It is also true that not all the regular verbs have got a regular past participle (cf. ''wider'' > ''wijst''), in these cases it is always best to use the dictionary.
As it can be seen, the past participle of the regular verbs is formed by adding the ending ''-aat''/''-uit''/''-ut''/''-ijt'' to the root form according to verb class. It is also true that not all the regular verbs have got a regular past participle (cf. ''wijvre'', that has got also the participle ''weisut''), in these cases it can be useful to check the dictionary.
The stress falls on the last syllable, so it can be noted the substitution ''-ij-''' > ''-ei-'' in the verb ''wijvre''.

It can be assumed that the past of subjunctive is formed by adding ''-e(n)'' to infinitive. In the 3rd conjugation, infinitive and singular form of past of subjunctive are the same.


===Conditional===

The conditional, ''konditjonaal'' in Aarlaansk, is used fast as in English, f.ex. to be polite or to express probability. As for the future, the conditional is formed with the verb ''ijr'', but it is used its past form:
The conditional, ''condisjonaal'' in Aarlaansc, is used fast as in English, f.ex. to be polite or to express probability. As for the future, the conditional has two forms:
 
* an analytical form with the verb ''ijr'', but for conditional it is used its past form;
* a synthetic form with the suffixes ''-eef(t)'' and ''-een'' that are added to the infinitive.

It exists also a synthetic form that is no longer used in the speech and that can be found only in poetry and old books. This form is obtained by adding to the infinitive the endings of the past of the verb ''haar'' without ''h-'':

This is true for all verbs. The conditional can be found in conditional clauses of 2nd and 3rd type:
Also here, as the stress shifts on the last syllable, the verbs whose infinitive ends with ''-ijr'' change this ending with ''-eir-'', ex.:
 
* ''Eg ijf clamaar'' / ''Eg clamareef'' - I would call;
* ''Toe ijft dievier'' / ''Toe dievreeft'' - You should;
* ''Is ijft wijvre'' / ''Is weivreeft'' - He would live;
* ''Noes ijrn oijr'' / ''Noes öeireen'' - We would hear;
* ''Woes ijrn vaar'' / ''Woes vareen'' - You would do;
* ''Ïe ijrn ijr'' / ''Ïe eireen'' - They would go.
 
Note also that often the verbs of 2nd and 3rd conjugation loose a syllable, ex.:
 
* ''Eg ijf dievier'' > ''Eg dievreef'' - I should;
* ''Toe ijft wijvre'' > ''Toe weivreeft'' - You would live.
 
Conditional can be found in conditional clauses of 2nd and 3rd type:


* ''Se eg euw zer rijch, eg euw pretjer uin magen masie'' - If I were rich, I'd buy a big house;
* ''Vor eg ijf ser punie, eg ijf suimer uin grand masie'' - If I were rich, I'd buy a big house;
* ''Se eg euw haar zit rijch, eg euw haar pretit uin magen masie'' - If I had been rich, I'd have bought a big house.
* ''Vor eg hareef sit punie, eg hareef suinft uin grand masie'' - If I had been rich, I'd have bought a big house.


Please note that the conditional is used in the protasis also instead of the subjunctive. In conditional clauses of 1st type it is used the present in the protasis and the future in the apodosis:
Please note that the conditional is used in the protasis also instead of the subjunctive. In conditional clauses of 1st type it is used the present in the protasis and the future in the apodosis:

* ''Vor hij nijf es suf hij soel, le se waadt vundre'' - If the snow is under the sun, it will melt.


The conditional is also used to express the "future in the past", ex.:
The conditional is also used to express the "future in the past", ex.:


* ''Is sched pas ke id euw vijr'' - He didn't know that it would happen.
* ''Is xijft hood ca id ijf vijr'' - He didn't know that it would happen.
 
===Imperative===
 
In Aarlaansc the '''empratijf''', the imperative mood, is used to order somebody to do something. The "true" voices of the present of imperative are that of the 2nd person singular and the 2nd person plural; the 1st person singular doesn't exist, whereas the other persons have got a periphrastic form:

The 2nd person singular form is the same of the 1st person singular form of the present of indicative, but there are also irregular forms as in the verbs ''ser'', ''ijr'', ''daar'', etc.
The 2nd person plural form is obtained from the infinitive form with the substitution of ''-r'' for ''-t'' for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th conjugations. The verbs of 3rd conjugation drop the infinitive ending and replace it with ''-it''. There are not irregular forms for this voice.
The other persons are formed with the periphrasis '''haar + a (d-)+ infinitive'''. It could be translated as '''to have to do something'''.
This structure can be used also with 1st and 2nd persons singular and with 2nd person plural, in this case, however, it doesn't indicate imperative, but it has the same meaning as the verb '''dievier''', only with a hint of politeness, f.ex.:
 
* ''Eg haf a d-ijr wers hij boetiec'' - I have to go to the shop;
* ''Que haft a vaar hooj?'' - What do you have to do today?;
* ''Woes haan a d-ijr wers hij mëic!'' - You have to go to the doctor! (Because you should)
 
Imperative hasn't got an impersonal form.
 
===Infinitive, gerund and participle===
 
As it has been already shown, the infinitive can end with ''-aar'', ''-ier'', ''-er'', ''-re'', ''-ijr'' or other vowels followed by ''-r'', in the cases of irregular verbs.
The infinitive forms ending with ''-r'' is the present form of this mood, but there is also a past form, that is formed with the infinitive form of the verb ''haar'' and the past participle of the main verb:

|}
 
The gerund is a complicated verbal form: it can have various meanings and translate different linguistic structures of English. It is formed by substituting the infinitive ending for ''-aand'', ''-eend'' (for 2nd and 3rd conjugations) or ''-ijnd'':
 
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"

|heend vagt
|heend ijt
|heend daat
|heend digt
|heend wijst
|heend duigt
|heend vluigt
|heemd proes
|}
 
It can be seen that this mood has got two tenses: ''present'' and ''past''. Very often gerund is used to translate adverbials of time, as in:
 
* ''Heend oijt id, is ijft awie.'' - After that he heard it, he went away.
* ''Worraand, is sentijft ca id veut roe.'' - As he was eating, he noticed that it was late.
 
Gerund can translate adverbials of means or of manner also:
 
* ''Vuimaand, souftur ries.'' - By smoking one doesn't obtain anything.
* ''Le proes creitaand sim vleend.'' - She came screaming and crying.
 
The participle has had a strong linguistic evolution: the present and the future tense of this mood are now used as nouns and adjectives and they're no more recognised as verbs. The only tense that is still seen as verb is the past that can be used as adjective also.
The present of participle is formed by substituting the infinitive ending for ''-oer'' for masculine and ''-eur'' for feminine gender (when it indicates a noun, otherwise it is used the only ending -oer):
 
* ''Hij canteur es juiven.'' - The singing woman is young.
* ''Hij cantoer es prisc.'' - The singing man is old.
 
This tense has got not only masculine and feminine forms, but also singular and plural forms:
 
* ''Hijs canteurs sunt juiven.'' - The singing women are young.
* ''Hijs cantoers sunt prisc.'' - The singing men are old.
 
If we want to use the terms ''sierel'' and ''sier'', than we have to change the structure of the sentence:
 
* ''Hij sierel qui cant es juiven.'' - The singing woman (= the woman who sings) is young.
* ''Hijs siers qui cantan sunt prisc.'' - The singing men (= the men who sing) are old.
 
The future of participle is formed by with the past stem of the verb and the ending ''-uir''. Nowadays the so formed words are recognised as nouns or, more rarely, as adjectives:
 
* ''legtuir'' - reading;
* ''creituir'' - creature;
* ''natuir'' - nature;
* ''matuir'' - ripe, mature.
 
The past participle is formed with the past stem of the verb and the ending ''-aat'', ''-uit'', ''-ut'', ''-ijt''. As it is the only tense of the participle that can be used still as verb, often with the term "zoppijn" they refer to this tense of the participle. There are regular and irregular participles:

=== Other important verbs ===
 
Among the analized verbs there is the verb ''dievier'', "must". It is an important modal verb that is often followed by another verb in infinitive, ex.: ''Toe dieft garijr'', "You must talk".
Other main modal verbs are: '''xier''', "can"; '''cvier''', "may, to be allowed to"; '''woor''', "to want (to)"; '''coeger''', "need". Some of them are quite irregular:

In the Aarlaans they use a '''klendaar''', a "calendar", that is virtually the same that we use: the ''an'', the "year", is splitted into 12 ''mienze'' (sg. ''miens'', "month") that can last 31 or 30 ''dierns'' (sg. ''diern'', "day"). Just one month, ''Vebraars'', "February", has got 28 days, but every 4 years it has got 29 days and the year is a ''long an'', a "leap year".
