====Assertive====


The assertive is used not just when issuing commands, but also making emphatic statements. It is formed from the present indicative, e.g. '' daga komege'' "the dog eats" becomes ''daga kome'''gele''''' "the dog really eats!" The imperative is used in response to questions and conditional statements, e.g. ''daga se komegung, nu mpome'''gelo''','' "if the dog is eating, it will not be hungry."
