*066. There are a few verbs that form the indefinite irregularly:
====The Subjunctive Mood - ''' Τι Ιποτακτίκ'''====
**'''λεγω''', say > '''πω'''
*060. The subjunctive mood expresses an action or state which is hypothetical or anticipated rather than actual, including wishes.
**'''δινω''', give > '''δoςω'''  
*061. The subjunctive mood in Athonite is formed with the particle '''να'''.
**'''πιγενω''', go > '''παω'''.  
::'''Εφχω να βρεχι.''' I wish that it would rain.
::'''Εφχω να έβρεχε.''' I wish that it had rained.


*067. The indefinite form is preceded by '''να''' and follows the main verb.  
*062. Certain verbs commonly used only in the third person are followed by '''να'''.  
::'''θελo να βλεπςω''', I want to see.  
::'''πρεπι''', it is necessary; '''αξιζι''', it is worthwhile, ''etc''.  
::'''θελo να αγάπιςα''', I want to love.  
::'''Πρεπι να παω τωρ.'''
:::I must be going now.  


====The Use of '''να''' - '''Ι Χρις του να'''====
====The Imperative Mood - ''' Τι προςτακτίκ'''====
*068. Intention, hope, desire and the like are eχpressed by using the particle '''να'''.  
*063. The formation of the imperative is greatly simplified in Athonite consisting of only one form.
*069. With the present tense, '''να''' eχpresses a continuous intention, ''etc''.
*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.
::'''θελω να δουλευω εξι oρι ι ιμέρ''', I want to be working six hours a day.
::'''άρχιςε να τραγυδά''', He started singing.
*070. With the past tense, '''να''' eχpresses a past intention, ''etc''. This construction always follows a past tense.
::'''Χτες το βραδυ θελςα να πιγενα ςτο θέατ αλά δεν μπóρεςα''', Last night I wanted to go to the theater, but I did not manage to.
*071. With the indefinite '''να''' expresses a non-continuous future intention, ''etc''.  
::'''ελπιτζω να φταςω ςτιν Aθíν τρις μ.μ.''', I hope to arrive at Athens at 3 p.m.
::'''Μπορω να παρω ενα τςιγάρ''', May I take a cigarette?
*072. Certain verbs commonly used only in the third person are also followed by '''να'''.
::'''πρεπει''', it is necessary; '''αξιζει''', it is worthwhile, ''etc''.
::'''Πρεπει να πιγενω τορα''', I must be going now.
 
====Negation====
*073. Negation is expressed by putting the negative particle '''δεν''' in front of the verb.
::'''το πρoíν ειν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is ready.
::'''το πρoíν δeν ειν' ετιμ''', Breakfast is not ready.
::'''το μπαρ δεν εινε γεμάτ''', The bar is not full.
::'''δεν πιγενω''', I'm not going.
 
====The Imperative Mood - '''ι προςτακτίκ εγκλις'''====
*074. The formation of the imperative is greatly simplified in Athonite. There are only two forms.
*075. The imperative of the simple present expresses duration or repetition of the action.
*076. To form the continuous imperative, '''-ε''' for the singular and '''-(ε)τε''' for the plural replace the '''-ω''' of the present.  
{|class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:left; margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
{|class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:left; margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"

|-
|-
|'''αγαπα''', keep on loving
|'''αγαπά''', love
|'''αγαπατε''', keep on loving
|'''αγάπατε''', love
|}
|}


*077. The imperative of the simple past shows non-continuation which means either that the action is not ongoing or that the speaker is not interested in its duration.
====The Infinitive - '''Το Απαρεμφατ'''====
*078. To form the simple past imperative, '''-ε''' for the singular and '''-(ε)τε''' for the plural replace the '''-ω''' of the indefinite.
*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="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center; vertical-align:left; margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
::It is formed by adding the suffix '''-ςι''' to the verb stem, ''e.g.'' '''βλεπο''' > '''βγεπςι'''.
!Singular
::In certain instances, the final consonant of the verb stem is modified, ''e.g.'', '''κοβω''' > '''κοψι'''.
!Plural
*066. The infinitive also functions as a gerund.
|-
::'''Το τρεξι ινε καλ αςκις.''' Running is good exercise.
|'''βλεπςε''', see
|'''βλέπςετε''', see
|-
|'''αγάπιςε''', love
|'''αγαπιςτε''', love
|}
 
*079. A negative command is eχpressed by '''μι''' and the indefinite or present depending on whether the action is fixed or continuous.
::'''Mι τον αγάπιςε''', Do not love him.
 
====There Is/Are====
*080. Athonite has abandoned the conjugated verbs '''υπαρχεί''' and '''υπαρχούν''' in favor of the Turkish {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}} and the negative {{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}.
::'''λουλούδ τραπέζου εν {{Color|blue|βαρ}}''', There is a flower on the table.
::'''λουλούδ τραπέζου εν {{Color|blue|γιοκ}}''', There is no flower on the table.
*081. 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".
::'''τραπέζου εν μίλα {{Color|blue|βαρ}};''' Are there apples on the table?
::'''{{Color|blue|βαρ}}'''. Yes, there are.
::'''{{Color|blue|γιοκ}}'''. No, there are not.
 
====Deponent Verbs====
*082. The deponent verbs of Modern Greek have become regular verbs, ''e.g.'', '''έρχομαι''', I come, > '''ερχω'''
 
====The Use of '''είνε'''====
*083. When an adjective is used predicatively, the copula '''είνε'''  is not used, ''e.g.'',  '''το κυαν ςπιτ''', the blue house; but ''' το ςπιτ κυαν''', the house is blue.
 
====Questions====
*084. A question with an interrogative pronoun has the same word order as a regular sentence.
::''' Π' ειςε;''' Who are you?
::'''πιόν έβλεπςες;''' Whom did you see?
::'''ςε πιον μίλςατε;''' To whom were you talking?
*085. A yes-no question has the same word order as a regular sentence, but is followed by the interrogative particle {{Color|blue|'''μι'''}}.
::'''πιγενεις ςτο ςχολί.''' You are going to school.
::'''πιγενεις ςτο ςχολί {{Color|blue|μι}}.''' Are you going to school?

::'''ςυ έγραψας ι επιςτόλ, {{Color|blue|ντιλ μι}};''' You wrote the letter, didn't you?
