>Chapter 1 > Karik-tor-zhit tsurik heh ritsurik. = Regular-strong verbs and irregular-strong verbs.
You’ve learned about weak verbs: oren, a lesson, oren-tor to learn. You will now learn about regular-strong verbs (for example) like torau, to attend, and irregular-strong verbs like prah, to get/receive. Weak-verbs add -tor, regular-strong verbs en with -au, irregular-strong verbs are each unique.
Regular-strong verb: Torau (to attend)
Torau (verb ongoing, infinitive)
1st conjugation: Toraya = an attendance, one instance of attending something, or a visit.
2nd conjugation Torayan = an attendance, attending duration, a visit from start to finish.
Irregular-strong verb: Prah (to get/receive)
Prah (verb ongoing, infinitive)
1st conjugation: Prah (same as infinitive) = a reception, one instance of receiving, reception.
2nd conjugation: Phrahn, prahan = the time it takes to receive something.
Note that irregular and regular verbs have the same conjugations. In previous lesson weak verbs “oren-tor” did not, but are allowed to share some of these conjugations, for example, orenan, is redundant and only used to avoid confusion from the subjunctive “what if” statements, if a sentence is getting crowded/long. (The subjunctive will be covered in a later chapter, it’s basically a sentence starting with a statement, comma theory.).
Basic practice: translate the statement into Vuhlkansu using the verbs prah and torau plus the proper pronoun.
I attend =____________________
You get = ____________________
You all attend = ____________________
We get = ____________________
They attend = ____________________
He, she gets = ____________________
Irregular strong verbs are used more clearly with specific pronouns, This is very common/standard.
Only you attend = ____________________
Only we get = ____________________
Only you all attend = ____________________
NOTE: Bi-directional pronouns exist, but aren’t discussed in book one.
