The participle, or '''zoppijn''', has had a strong linguistic evolution: the present and the future tense of this mood are now used as nouns and adjectives and they're no more recognised as verbs. The only tense that is still seen as verb is the past, or '''zoppijn pervecht'''. The latter can be used as adjective also. | |||
The present of participle is formed by substituting the infinitive ending for ''-oer'' for masculine and ''-eur'' for feminine gender: | |||
* ''Hij kanteur est iewen.'' - The singing woman is young. | |||
* ''Hij kantoer est zenn.'' - The singing man is old. | |||
This tense has got not only masculine and feminine forms, but also singular and plural forms: | |||
* ''Hies kanteurs zunt iewen.'' - The singing women are young. | |||
* ''Hies kantoers zunt zenn.'' - The singing men are old. | |||
If we want to use the terms ''zierel'' and ''zier'', than we have to change the structure of the sentence: | |||
* ''Hij zierel ki kant est iewen.'' - The singing woman (= the woman who sings) is young. | |||
* ''Hies ziers ki kanten zunt zenn.'' - The singing men (= the men who sing) are old. | |||
