Umbrean verbs can take on 4 modal forms which is used for both modality purposes as a verb but can also function as adjectives on their own. | |||
'''Verb form''' | |||
The verb form is used along as any normal verb, the positive form and negative form refers to the polarity of the modality. While there is general derivation of each of the three forms some verbs do not follow it and have other forms in the quadrouplet. | |||
'''Adjectival form''' | |||
The adjectival form works as the name itself suggests like an adjective, the suffixes are put onto the verb and then treated like a normal adjective that has to take on adjectival affixes. The anti-passive form focuses on the subject while the passive one focuses on the object. | |||
