The present is generally used for denoting actions that are taking place in the now and is also used for forming the future tense in conjunction with specific adverbs. Unlike English which has a distinction between "I'm going" and "I go", Välyatalle uses the same form for both. | The present is generally used for denoting actions that are taking place in the now and is also used for forming the future tense in conjunction with specific adverbs. Unlike English which has a distinction between "I'm going" and "I go", Välyatalle uses the same form for both. For thematic verbs, the present tense set of inflexions consists of ''-te, -ke, -na, -teen, -keen, -nän'' For athematic verbs, add the linking vowel ''-i-'' and the thematic endings. Thus ''magate'', ''magake'', ''magana'', ''magateen'', ''magakeen'', ''maganän'' for the verb ''magaan''. | ||
