*The Athonite verb system has been simplified to the extent that the many tenses present in Classical and Demotic Greek and in Turkish have been reduced to six.
!IPA
*The six tenses are the present, the past, and the future, and their perfect counterparts.
! /a/<font color=red><sup>1</sup></font>
*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).
! /af/<font color=red><sup>2</sup></font>
*The endings on the verbs are changed to denote person and number.
! /v/
*<font color=red>Under Turkish influence</font> only two irregular verbs remain.
! /ɣ/<font color=red><sup>3</sup></font>
 
! /ŋ/
==The Auxiliary Verbs==
! /g/
*The auxiliary verbs are the two remaining irregular verbs.
! /ŋks/

===The Perfect Tenses===
====The Subjunctive Mood - ''' Τι Ιποτακτίκ'''====
The perfect tenses are formed by using the appropriate tense of <font color=blue>έχω</font> with the passive participle of <font color=blue>ιμε</font>.
*060. The subjunctive mood expresses an action or state which is hypothetical or anticipated rather than actual, including wishes.
{|border=1

::'''Πρεπι να παω τωρ.'''
:::I must be going now.
 
====The Imperative Mood - ''' Τι προςτακτίκ'''====

*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.

|'''αγαπά''', love
|c=01| <font color=blue>θα έχω ίμεν βλεπομέν</font>, I shall have been seen, etc.
|'''αγάπατε''', love
|}
|}


===The Passive Participle===
====The Infinitive - '''Το Απαρεμφατ'''====
*The passive participle is formed by adding an ending to the present stem.
*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.
*Class I
::It is formed by adding the suffix '''-ςι''' to the verb stem, ''e.g.'' '''βλεπο''' > '''βγεπςι'''.
**<font color=blue>βλέπω</font> > <font color=blue>βλεπομέν</font>, seen
::In certain instances, the final consonant of the verb stem is modified, ''e.g.'', '''κοβω''' > '''κοψι'''.
*Class II
*066. The infinitive also functions as a gerund.
**<font color=blue>αγαπώ</font> > <font color=blue>αγαπαμέν</font>, loved
::'''Το τρεξι ινε καλ αςκις.''' Running is good exercise.
 
====Negation - '''Άρνις'''====

::'''το πρoíν ιν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is ready.
::'''το πρoíν δeν ιν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is not ready.
::'''το μπαρ δεν ινε πλιρ''', The bar is not full.
::'''δεν παω''', I'm not going.
*068. Negation in the subjunctive and imperative moods  is expressed by putting the negative particle '''μι(ν)''' in front of the verb.
::'''Εφχω να μιν έβρεχε.''' I wish that it had not rained.
::'''μι τρεξε ι θα πεφτις.''' Don't run or you'll fall.


==The Use of <font color=blue>na</font>==
====There Is/Are - {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}}/{{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}====
*Intention, hope, desire and the like are expressed by using the particle <font color=blue>na</font>.
*069. Athonite has abandoned the conjugated verbs '''υπαρχεί''' and '''υπαρχούν''' in favor of the Turkish {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}} and its negative {{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}.
**With the present tense, <font color=blue>na</font> expresses a continuous intention, etc.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
***<font color=blue>Þélo na ðoulévo éksi óri tin imér</font>, I want to be working six hours a day.
:::There is a flower on the table.
***<font color=blue>Árhise na träguðá</font>, He started singing.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
**With the indefinite, <font color=blue>na</font> expresses a non-continuous future intention, etc.
:::There is no flower on the table.
***<font color=blue>Élpidzo na ftáso stin Aþín stis tris m.m.</font>, I hope to arrive at Athens at 3 p.m.
*70. A modified form of the Turkish is used for the past tense.
***<font color=blue>Børó na páro énä tsigár</font>, May I take a cigarette?
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρδ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
**With the past tense, <font color=blue>na</font> expresses a past intention, ''etc''. This construction always follows a past tense.
:::There was a flower on the table.
***<font color=blue>Htes tø vráðu íþelsä na píjenä stø þéät alá ðen bóresä</font>, Last night I wanted to go to the theater, but I did not manage to.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκτ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''
*Certain verbs commonly used only in the third person are also followed by <font color=blue>ná</font>.
:::There was no flower on the table.
**<font color=blue>prépi</font>, it is necessary; <font color=blue>axédzi</font>, it is worthwhile, etc.
*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''.
***<font color=blue>Prépi na pijéno tórä</font>, I must be going now.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} μιλα εν το τραπέζ;'''
==There Is/Are==
:::Are there apples on the table?  
*Athonite has abandoned the conjugated verb <font color=blue>υπαρχεί</font>/<font color=blue>υπαρχούν</font> for the Turkish <font color=red>βαρ</font> and the negative <font color=red>γιοκ</font>.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}}''', Yes, there are.
**<font color=blue>λουλούδ τραπέζου εν</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>, There is a flower on the table.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}}''', No, there are not.
**<font color=blue>λουλούδ τραπέζου εν</font> <font color=red>γιοκ</font>, There is no flower on the table.
*072. '''{{Color|blue|βαρ}}''' and '''{{Color|blue|γιοκ}}''' may also used to express possession. The possessor is expressed with the possessive adjective.
*When enumerating lists of things, <font color=red>βαρ</font> or <font color=red>γιοκ</font> is said after each item.
::'''{{Color|blue|Βαρ}} τρις μιλα μου'''; I have three apples.
**There are apples, tomatoes, onions, and cherries on the table.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} αδέλφ τις '''; She does not have a sister.
**<font color=blue>τραπέζου εν μίλα</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>, <font color=blue>ντομάτα</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>, <font color=blue>κρεμύδα</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>, <font color=blue>κεράςα</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>.
*In reply to a <font color=red>βαρ</font> or <font color=red>γιοκ</font> question, the answer is always <font color=red>var</font> or <font color=red>γιοκ</font>, never "yes" or "no".
**Are there apples on the table? <font color=blue>τραπέζου εν μίλα</font> <font color=red>βαρ</font>;
**Yes, there are, <font color=red>βαρ</font>.
**No, there are not, <font color=red>γιοκ</font>.


==The Use of <font color=blue>ίμε</font>==
====Deponent Verbs - '''Αποθετίκ Ρίματα'''====
*<font color=red>When an adjective is used predicatively, the copula <font color=blue>ίμε</font> is not needed</font>: <font color=blue>γαλάζι ςπιτ</font>, a/the blue house; but <font color=blue>ςπιτ γαλάζι</font> the house is blue.
*073. The deponent verbs of Modern Greek have become regular verbs, ''e.g.'', '''έρχομε''', I come, > '''ερχω'''.
==Questions==
*A question with an interrogative pronoun has the same word order as a regular sentence.
**Who are you?
**Whom did she see?
**To whom were you talking?

***<font color=blue>εδώ</font> here
***<font color=blue>εκί</font> there

***<font color=blue>ίςως</font> perhaps
***<font color=blue>πάντο</font> always
***<font color=blue>ακώμ</font> yet
***<font color=blue>έςτι</font> thus

**<font color=blue>καλ</font>, good; <font color=blue>καλ</font>, well
