Buerkaans: Difference between revisions

Verbs are only conjugated for tense and person in Buerkaans.  Beyond this, all conjugations of a given verb are usually regular according to other verbs in their category. There is only one irregular verb, each verb class has a distinct conjugation pattern.  Every verb conjugates the same in Present Tense, and verbs are kept in the infinitive if they are not the primary verb in the sentence.  However, this functions more like English and the Scandinavian languages in that two verbs can follow each other directly, as opposed to German where and secondary verbs must be at the end of a sentence or phrase.

There is only one irregular verbs in Buerkáns:  to be

With the exception of modal verbs, all verbs conjugate in the present tense with ''-r'' or ''-er'', depending if the word has a word-final vowel or not.  This is a clear adoption from the Scandinavian langauges over a more complicated Dutch, German, or English system. The word ''te'' is used in infinitive constructions, and cannot be excluded from the infinitive version of a verb.
