===Verbs=== | |||
Zēsti is a null pronoun language, and instead pronouns are inferred through the inflection of the verb in a sentence, which itself can be deduced by the suffix of the inflected verb. Inflection also varies depending on the ending of the infinitive, e.g. ''τένερ'' has a different inflection than ''φίνιρ''. | |||
