==Verb Classes==
*The Athonite verb has been influenced by Turkish to the extent that the many tenses present in Classical and Demotic Greek have been reduced to six.
*The six tenses are the present, the past, and the future, and their perfect counterparts.
*Athonite verbs are divided into two classes, those in which the personal ending is not accented (I) and those in which the personal ending is accented (II).
*The endings on the verbs are changed to denote person and number.


==The Active Voice==
==Pronunciation Table - '''Πινακ από Προφόρ'''==
*The active voice denotes that the agent is doing the action of the verb.

=====The Perfect Tenses - '''Ο Παρακίμεν'''=====  
*A participle is an adjective derived from a verb. It modifies a noun, but may take an object like a verb.
*058. The perfect tenses are formed by using the appropriate tense of '''εχω''' with the passive participle of '''ιμε'''.
*The active participle indicates that the subject of the sentence is doing something.
{|class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:left; margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"

===The Perfect Tenses===
====The Subjunctive Mood - ''' Τι Ιποτακτίκ'''====
The perfect tenses are formed by using the appropriate tense of <font color=blue>éhø</font> with the third person singular present tense of the passive.
*060. The subjunctive mood expresses an action or state which is hypothetical or anticipated rather than actual, including wishes.
{|border=1
*061. The subjunctive mood in Athonite is formed with the particle '''να'''.
|i=No| present
::'''Εφχω να βρεχι.''' I wish that it would rain.
|c=01| <font color=blue>éhø ímen þélomen</font>, I have been wanted, etc.
::'''Εφχω να έβρεχε.''' I wish that it had rained.

::'''πρεπι''', it is necessary; '''αξιζι''', it is worthwhile, ''etc''.
::'''Πρεπι να παω τωρ.'''
:::I must be going now.
 
====The Imperative Mood - ''' Τι προςτακτίκ'''====
*063. The formation of the imperative is greatly simplified in Athonite consisting of only one form.
*064. To form the imperative, Class I verbs replace the '''-ω''' of the present with '''-ε''' for the singular and '''-(ε)τε''' for the plural. Class II verbs replace the '''-ώ''' of the present with '''-ά''' for the singular and '''-(α)τε''' for the plural.

|}
|}


===The Verb 'to be'===
====The Infinitive - '''Το Απαρεμφατ'''====
*This verb is uniquely in the passive.
*065. The infinitive is a neutral form of the verb, that is, it does not express agent, tense or mood. It is treated as a noun and is accompanied by the neuter article '''το'''. As a verb it can govern an object.
*Present and Indefinite
::It is formed by adding the suffix '''-ςι''' to the verb stem, ''e.g.'' '''βλεπο''' > '''βγεπςι'''.
{|border=1
::In certain instances, the final consonant of the verb stem is modified, ''e.g.'', '''κοβω''' > '''κοψι'''.

|c=01| singular
::'''Το τρεξι ινε καλ αςκις.''' Running is good exercise.

|-
====Negation - '''Άρνις'''====

|c=01| <font color=blue>íme</font>, I am
::'''το πρoíν ιν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is ready.
|c=02| <font color=blue>ímäste</font>, we are
::'''το πρoíν δeν ιν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is not ready.  
|-
::'''το μπαρ δεν ινε πλιρ''', The bar is not full.
|i=No| 2.
::'''δεν παω''', I'm not going.
|c=01| <font color=blue>íse</font>, you are
*068. Negation in the subjunctive and imperative moods  is expressed by putting the negative particle '''μι(ν)''' in front of the verb.
|c=02| <font color=blue>íste</font>, you are
::'''Εφχω να μιν έβρεχε.''' I wish that it had not rained.
|-
::'''μι τρεξε ι θα πεφτις.''' Don't run or you'll fall.

|c=02| <font color=blue>ítän</font>, they were
|}


==Word Order==
====There Is/Are - {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}}/{{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}====
Due to Turkish influence, Athonite has become an SOV language, with the verb at the end.
*069. Athonite has abandoned the conjugated verbs '''υπαρχεί''' and '''υπαρχούν''' in favor of the Turkish {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}} and its negative {{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
:::There is a flower on the table.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
:::There is no flower on the table.
*70. A modified form of the Turkish is used for the past tense.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρδ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
:::There was a flower on the table.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκτ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
:::There was no flower on the table.
*071. In reply to a {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}} or {{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}} question, the answer is always {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}} or {{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}, never ''yes'' or ''no''.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} μιλα εν το τραπέζ;'''
:::Are there apples on the table?
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}}''', Yes, there are.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}}''', No, there are not.
*072. '''{{Color|blue|βαρ}}''' and '''{{Color|blue|γιοκ}}''' may also used to express possession. The possessor is expressed with the possessive adjective.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} τρις μιλα μου'''; I have three apples.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} αδέλφ τις '''; She does not have a sister.


==The Use of <font color=blue>na</font>==
====Deponent Verbs - '''Αποθετίκ Ρίματα'''====
*Intention, hope, desire and the like are expressed by using the particle <font color=blue>na</font>.
*073. The deponent verbs of Modern Greek have become regular verbs, ''e.g.'', '''έρχομε''', I come, > '''ερχω'''.
**With the present tense, <font color=blue>na</font> expresses a continuous intention, etc.
***<font color=blue>Þélo na ðulévo éksi ors tin imér</font>, I want to be working six hours a day.
***<font color=blue>Árhise na träguðá</font>, He started singing.
**With the indefinite, <font color=blue>na</font> expresses a non-continuous future intention, etc.

***<font color=blue>Børó na páro énä tsigár</font>, May I take a cigarette?

***<font color=blue>Htes tø vráðy íþelsä na píjenä stø þéätr alá ðen bóresä</font>, Last night I wanted to go to the theater, but I did not manage to.
*Certain verbs commonly used only in the third person are also followed by <font color=blue>ná</font>.
**<font color=blue>prépi</font>, it is necessary; <font color=blue>axédzi</font>, it is worthwhile, etc.
***<font color=blue>Prépi na pijéno tórä</font>, I must be going now.


=Adverbs=
====The Use of '''ινε''' - '''Ι Χρις από το Ινε''''====
*Adverbs are words used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
*074. When an adjective is used predicatively, the copula '''ινε'''  is not used, ''e.g.'', '''το κιαν ςπιτ''', the blue house; but ''' το ςπιτ κιαν''', the house is blue.
**Some common adverbs:
***<font color=blue>edó</font> here
***<font color=blue>ekí</font> there
***<font color=blue>píso</font> behind
***<font color=blue>brostá</font> in front
***<font color=blue>tóra</font> now
***<font color=blue>ǘster</font> after, later
***<font color=blue>norís</font> early
***<font color=blue>ávri</font> tomorrow
***<font color=blue>hþes</font> yesterday
***<font color=blue>polǘ</font> a lot, very
***<font color=blue>kiøl</font> already
***<font color=blue>pøt</font> never
***<font color=blue>páli</font> again
***<font color=blue>ísos</font> perhaps
***<font color=blue>pántø</font> always
***<font color=blue>äkóm</font> yet
***<font color=blue>ésti</font> thus
*Adverbs may be formed from adjectives by adding <font color=blue>-a</font> to the adjective.
**<font color=blue>ísüh</font>, quiet; <font color=blue>ísüha</font>, quietly
**<font color=blue>kal</font>, good; <font color=blue>kála</font>, well
**<font color=blue>ärkét</font>, sufficient; <font color=blue>ärketá</font>, sufficiently, rather
*The comparative and superlative of adverbs is formed in the same way as with adjectives.
**<font color=blue>éfkøl</font>, easy; <font color=blue>éfkøla</font>, easily
**<font color=blue>piø éfkøl</font>, easier; <font color=blue>piø éfkøla</font>, more easily
**<font color=blue>ø piø éfkøl</font>, easiest; <font color=blue>ø piø éfkøla</font>, most easily


ÁÄÐÉÍÓǾØÚÞáäðéíóøǿþúüǘ
