The Verb - Ses Inpaliú

          Like adjectives, verbs are derived from a noun counterpart.  Again, some nouns exist only to be formed into verbs.  In the case of a few nouns, the verb form is not directly related to the meaning of the verb itself.  See the glossary for an alphabetical list of Syriculaen nouns and their verb forms.

Conjugation and Tenses
         There are seven tenses in Syriculaen.  Additional “suggestive” endings can also be attached, a unique feature of the language.  Conjugation depends on person, tense, and number.

Negative --farno --marno --varno --barno

Commands: “Do”
Suggestive: “Should do”
Conditional: “Would do”
Possible: “Might do”

Reflexives
         
To make a verb reflexive simply place the appropriate reflexive pronoun before that verb.  Because these pronouns always make a verb reflexive, they are never used to replace a noun (like they can in some other languages).  The subject of the sentence can be replaced with a pronoun, but not any of the following ones (see the Pronouns section).

Pronouns for Reflexives
