Verbs in Cernelian were conjugatable for persons (first, second, third, and impersonal), number (singular and plural), tenses (present, past), moods (indicative, conditional, imperative), non-finite forms (infinitive, verbal noun, and participles), and particularly, grammatical aspects (imperfective and perfective) by the influence of Slavic languages.

Conjugations

Aspects

While Cernelian has two grammatical aspects, the perfective derivation from imperfective ones are not uniform. Usually, the perfective are derived by suffixing the stem with directional cases (dative, locative, or ablative), a parallel of Slavic prefixation with prepositions.

Conjugation Unsuffixed Dative Locative Ablative
I -a -iona -iosa -iosta
II -edzie -edzieczę -edzieczesie -edzieczlecie

Negation

Unlike in Polish that there are only one adverb to negate verbs nie, Cernelian has multiple forms for a negative verb. This verb, however, are defective and only found in present, conditional (innovated), and imperative tenses. To make negations on the verb, attach the negative verb into the participle (romosta "to love" → present ję romostopo, je romostopo, i romostopo, ...; past ję romostón; conditional jeleszę romostopo; imperative jeleżę romostopo).
