The two exceptions are the past indefinite and the imperative definite forms.<br/>The ''past indefinite form'' is formed by nasalizing the final vowel of the stem. This effectively means that for nasal stems this form is the bare stem; ''-i, -e, -ê, -ẽ'' stems all merge as ''-ẽ''; ''-u, -o, -ô, -õ'' stems all merge as ''-õ'', ''-a'' becomes ''-ã'' and ''-êy'' becomes ''-ãy''. Consonant stems add ''-õ''. | The two exceptions are the past indefinite and the imperative definite forms.<br/>The ''past indefinite form'' is formed by nasalizing the final vowel of the stem.

Nasal vowels are denasalized and have ''-nu'' after them, making this form identical to the past definite. | ||
