====Tenses and aspects==== | |||
Tenses and aspects are intricately linked in Vairish, as one cannot exist without the other. | |||
The Vairish language uses a set of 3 tenses (more on that later) and 3 aspects : | |||
; Non-Future | |||
;: Perfective non-future | |||
::: The perfective non-future indicates that the action is occuring/occured | |||
;: Gnomic non-future | |||
::: The gnomic non-future indicated that the action is/was a general truth | |||
;: Episodic non-future | |||
::: The episodic non-future is the contrary of the gnomic non-future | |||
; Future | |||
;: Perfective future | |||
::: The perfective future indicates that the action will occur | |||
;: Gnomic future | |||
::: The gnomic future indicated that the action will be a general truth | |||
;: Episodic future | |||
::: The episodic future is the contrary of the gnomic non-future | |||
The past is not marked on the verb but rather on the object, as its construction is : Non-Future Verb + Object in the Essive | |||
