Umbrean/Lessons/15 Verb Forms

=Participle= Participles, now what could that possibly ever be? To put it simple, it is when you make a verb into the form of an adjective, such as "a walking dog", or noun "the one/thing that walks", Umbrean is quite rich in using this so let's gets started.

Meaning can differ quite a lot depending on when in the verb manipulation the participle ending is applied, at the bare root, after tempus ending or after person agreement.

Noun participles are always treated as a noun and adjective ones as adjectives in pure form.

Bare root
If it is applied on the bare root it is in a more general fashion in the fashion of that they have that property and tempus is irrelevant. It can be roughly translated as something having the property of, purpose of or similar.

Noun Participles

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

! Type ! Umbrean ! English ! Main
 * Nov'anlu loymav'y si
 * The person which was hit is falling
 * }

Adjectival

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

! Umbrean ! English window meant for being seen
 * Välëñycha gsamvoyyl
 * Display window
 * Display window
 * }

Noun Participles
When noun participle endings are placed after the tempus suffix it takes on the meaning of "the one/thing that X" where X is the verb in question it is used on
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! Type ! Umbrean ! English ! Main
 * Nov'anlu loymav'y si
 * The person which was hit is falling
 * }

Adjectival
If on the other hand adjective endings are used it is similar to "Xing" in meaning such as "walking dog" or "walked dog" etc but can be used for all aspects and tempuses it naturally already have hence rendering an entire adjective phrase into a single word, such as "a dog which will be walking" is rendered by 2 words

Agreement
There isn't much meaning difference except a tiny sentence can be composed instead, "the one who punched me" can be one word and "which will be punching me" as well but it only applies to when personal pronoun erasings.

Adjectival
=Gerund= Gerund form is a form of a verb used to refer to the verb action itself in a noun form.

In umbrean it is used in two ways

Pure Gerund
Pure gerund simply refers to the very action itself, if used on the bare root it means an action in general while if after tempus it refers to the action in that tempus
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! rowspan=2 | Umbrean ! colspan=2 | English ! Meaning ! Literal
 * Chaahzbjayl ëdhihsömydhügn
 * I like driving
 * Driving is pleasing me
 * }
 * }

Noun Clause
Gerund form is also used to mark noun clauses and is placed after person agreement

=Supine= Supine is indicating what purpose a verb was done for in the sense of another verb.

Forms
Supine comes in a few forms:

Adjective which is when adjective participle form is used on the bare root, it describes what purpose something serves.


 * Välëñyña Gsamvoyyf = Display window, Window with the purpose of being seen.

Verbal describes more the purpose of a verb and is hence the true Supine form.

Supine
Like so much in Umbrean Supine is marked by ending on the verb which differ depends on its gender and is placed in the position of post positions.

Unlike normal verb these cannot take personal agreement and hence persons must be placed out.


 * Anian noviwu oovinösikhsi = I walked to punch him.


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