Verb tenses

Verb tense: present

Most verbs follow one pattern but where there are two verbs with the same stem such as volare and volere, these are treated slightly differently. Most verbs are conjugated by doubling the last consonant of the stem and adding the relevant conjugations.

Singular Plural
1st Person -o -iamo
2nd Person -ai -ate
3rd Person -a -ano

Eg. parlare (to speak) removing the root and adding the consonant becomes parll- plus adding -o makes it parllo.

I speak Pinguinian = Parllo pinguiniano

Verb tense: past-repetitive
