When verbs are in the infinitive, <i>i</i> is placed in front of them instead of SA's <i>ett</i>:
When verbs are in the infinitive, <i>i</i> is placed in front of them instead of SA's <i>ett</i>:


*<i>i koke</i> (NA) - <i>ett kyke (SA)
*<i>i køyke</i> (NA) - <i>ett kyke</i> (SA) - to cook
 
Notice the spelling change from 'y' to 'øy' to accommodate the missing [y:] phoneme in NA. 
 
 
The formation of past tense endings also changes in NA.  Words that have an '-r' ending in the past tense in Standard Alska have a '-kk' ending in Northern Alska:
 
*<i>gikk</i> (NA) - <i>gir</i> (SA) - went
*<i>fikk</i> (NA) - <i> fir</i> (SA) - found 
 
This change applies only to '-r' words and the other past tense suffixes are the same in Northern Alska as they are in Southern Aslka.
