 All parts of nominal morphology, except pronouns, are declined in seven cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative, and vocative (pronouns lack the vocative case).
-Carpathian verbal morphology shows a number of innovations, when compared to other Indo-European languages, such as Balto-Slavic or Germanic; namely, the loss of passive, reduplication in perfect and aorist, the augment; having only relics of the imperative mood instead relying on optative; polypersonal agreement of transitive verbs (both monotransitive and ditransitive). The synthetic form of the future (or rather desiderative) tense and the aorist with the ''-s-'' suffix (which later merged with preterit) and three principal verbal forms with the present tense stem employing the ''-n-'' infix are features, inherited from Proto-Indo-European.

The synthetic form of the future (or rather desiderative) tense and the aorist with the ''-s-'' suffix (which later merged with preterit) and four principal verbal forms with the present tense stem employing the ''-n-'' infix are features, inherited from Proto-Indo-European.
-There are two types of verbal conjugation: athematic and thematic, though the latter is much more common, than the former, and is the only productive type. Every verb is conjugated for person (person and number of its subject and objects if present) and tense (or rather tense and aspect). There are five tenses in the indicative mood: present, aorist, imperfect, perfect and future. The optative mood has no tenses and the subjuctive is compound, formed by a verb in the indicative and an auxilliary verb.

Every verb is conjugated for person (person and number of its subject and objects if the latter is present) and tense (or rather tense, aspect and mood or the TAM). There are five tenses in the indicative mood: present, aorist, imperfect, perfect and future. The optative mood has no tenses and the subjunctive is compound, formed by a non-finite verb form and the auxiliary verb.
