Regular Verbs constitute the vast majority of Valtamic verbs. Verbs generally conjugate for three persons (''1<sup>st</sup>'', ''2<sup>nd</sup>'', and ''3<sup>rd</sup>''), two numbers (''singular'' and ''plural''), three moods (''indicative'', ''subjunctive'', and ''imperative''), two voices (''active'' and ''passive''), three basic tenses (''present'', ''past'', and ''future''), each with two forms, one synthetic (''simple'') and one analytic using an auxiliary copula (''perfect''). | |||

Valtamic verbs have two different verbal infinitives: | |||
* the ''bare infinitive'', which acts as the basic non-finite infinitive and dictionary form of a given verb. It can also be declined using the type-III paradigm with no stem alteration. | |||
* the ''auxiliary infinitive'', which is an indeclinable verbal infinitive used specifically alongside auxiliary verbs. | |||
Both infinitives are also separate from ''verbal nouns'', which are in turn formed using different suffixes, those being: | |||
* ''{{c|-eľ}}'', which generally forms abstract nouns. It declines using the type-III paradigm with no stem alteration. | |||
* ''{{c|-tlo}}'', which generally forms concrete, physical, or material nouns. It declines using the type-III paradigm with the stem alteration ''-tlon-''. | |||
