Chlouvānem/Exterior and interior verbs: Difference between revisions

Some verbs are defective and lack a non-causative exterior conjugation. ''dældake'' "to speak, express oneself" and ''tṛlake'' "to know, understand" are by far the most common ones:

: ''chlǣvānęe/chlǣvānumi dældāp dældiru''

These verbs mostly have their own rules for cases they govern: as you can see, "to speak" a language requires the word "language" (''dældā'') to be in the instrumental case - or, more commonly, this is avoided in favour of the use of an adverb made from the noun, in this case "I speak 'Chlouvānemly'". The verb "to know", on the other hand, requires the thing known to be in the exessive case.<br/>Note that "to know a person" is, in Chlouvānem, a totally different verb - ''didake'' - which is transitive and has regular exterior forms (but has some distinct interior meanings, as listed below).
