 # Verbal
+
+Verbs conjugation are based on tense, subject, and time in day.
+
+There are three verb tenses: past, present, and future.  Aspects and mood are
+separately shown on adverbs, which can often be omitted.  Verbs conjugate the
+same for present tense throughout the day.
+
+In the following subsection, conjugations are grouped by the pronouns:
+
+- <b><i>te</i></b> and <b><i>mi</i></b> each has its own conjugation
+- <b><i>vo</i></b>: <i>vo</i>, <i>yo</i> and singular animate nouns
+- <b><i>yat</i></b>: <i>yat</i> and singular inanimate nouns
+- <b><i>mite</i></b>: <i>seté</i>, <i>mite</i> and <i>chomí</i>
+- <b><i>chovö</i></b>: <i>chovö</i> and plural animate nouns
+- <b><i>boyät</i></b>: <i>boyät</i> and plural inanimate nouns
+
+When conjugate for singular subject, the first non-prefix vowel is umlauted if
+possible.
+
+## Infinitive
+
+Infinitive verbs in Ravna have 3 possible endings:
+
+- <b><i>-yan</i></b>: the "default" ending—as most verbs end in <i>-yan</i>,
+    a new verb would also end in this.
+- <b><i>-vet</i></b>: much fewer verbs has this ending, but all verbs having
+    this ending are regular.
+- <b><i>-nis</i></b>: only auxiliary verbs end in this, which are irregular,
+    but it share some patterns with the other two endings.  Time of the day
+    also doesn't factor in how they are conjugated.
+
+## Morning
+
+Morning is the time from sunrise to noon.  A verb describing action starting in
+the morning is conjugated like below.
