Umbrean/Lessons/10 Modifying the verb

Adjectives can be modified in various manners but so can verbs, unfortunately if you have seen the rest Umbrean is not kind on this either. there are two ways to modify them, using suffixes that they all can carry and adverbs

=Suffixes= These suffixes on the verb must be placed on a very specific order, they will be taken in the order in which they are added.

A thing to notice is that the agreement suffix for persons are placed after these suffixes

Intensity
These suffixes tells that the verb is done to a greater or lesser extent, power, intensity and such. The exact meaning depends alot on context as if it is applied to for example "To walk" it can mean he walked farther or just faster. The superlative form is like in english greatest while there are multiple comperative forms for it

 * -e*o
 * -api
 * -efá
 * -ufla
 * -akon
 * -oly
 * -onqi
 * -y*a
 * }


 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! adwijo lyome*oav'y si
 * the water is falling to a greater extent
 * }
 * }

Instrumental
The instrumental suffixes tells more on how it was done. More exacly if it was done in an orderly fashion or chaotic, if it was willfully or forcefully, meaning if it encountered any form of resistence or if it was almost doing it itself.


 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! adwijo lyomodöav'y si
 * the water is falling willingly and less orderly
 * }
 * }

Evidentiality
