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. + +Example 1: <i>fiyan</i> (to live) + +| pronoun | present | past | future | +|---------|---------|--------|--------| +| te | fi | fiya | fiyo | +| mi | fid | fida | fiyod | +| vo | fiz | fiza | fiyoz | +| yat | fir | fira | fiyor | +| mite | fiyon | fiyona | fiyonq | +| chovö | fison | fisona | fisonq | +| boyät | filon | filona | filonq | + +Example 2: <i>karvet</i> (to shine) + +| pronoun | present | past | future | +|---------|---------|--------|--------| +| te | kärvos | kärvo | kärvon | +| mi | kärtos | kärto | kärton | +| vo | kärzos | kärzo | kärzon | +| yat | kärros | kärro | kärron | +| mite | karvom | karova | karvas | +| chovö | karsom | karosa | karsas | +| boyät | karlom | karola | karlas | + +Example 3: <i>ponis</i> (to be able, can) + +| pronoun | present | past | future | +|---------|---------|--------|--------| +| te | pö | pöra | pöron | +| mi | pet | peta | petod | +| vo | pas | pasa | pasoy | +| yat | pir | pira | piror | +| mite | pöron | pörona | pöronq | +| chovö | pason | pasona | pasonq | +| boyät | paron | parona | paronq | + +## Afternoon + +Example 1: <i>fiyan</i> (to live) + +| pronoun | past | future | +|---------|--------|--------| +| te | finey | fiye | +| mi | fined | fiyed | +| vo | finez | fiyez | +| yat | finer | fiyer | +| mite | fiyone | fiyenq | +| chovö | fisone | fisenq | +| boyät | firone | firenq | + +Example 2: <i>karvet</i> (to shine) + +| pronoun | past | future | +|---------|--------|--------| +| te | kärve | kärven | +| mi | kärte | kärten | +| vo | kärze | kärzen | +| yat | kärre | kärren | +| mite | karove | karves | +| chovö | karose | karses | +| boyät | karole | karles | + +## Night + +Example 1: <i>fiyan</i> (to live) + +| pronoun | past | future | +|---------|--------|--------| +| te | fin | finni | +| mi | findi | fiyid | +| vo | finzi | fiyiz | +| yat | finri | fiyir | +| mite | fiyne | fiyinq | +| chovö | fisne | fisinq | +| boyät | firne | firinq | + +Example 2: <i>karvet</i> (to shine) + +| pronoun | past | future | +|---------|--------|--------| +| te | kärvi | kärvin | +| mi | kärti | kärtin | +| vo | kärzi | kärzin | +| yat | kärri | kärrin | +| mite | karovi | karvis | +| chovö | karosi | karsis | +| boyät | karoli | karlis | |
