*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==

===Verbs - '''Ρίματα'''===
====Verb Classes - '''Τι Ταξις από το Ρίματα'''====
*038. The Athonite verb has been reduced from the many tenses present in Classical and Demotic Greek to six.
*039. The six tenses are the present, the past (the Greek imperfect), and the future (the Greek future continuous), and their perfect counterparts.
*040. 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).
*041. The endings on the verbs are changed to denote person and number.
 
====The Active Voice - '''Τι Ενέργ Φων'''====
*042. The active voice denotes that the agent is doing the action of the verb.
 
=====The Present Tense - '''Ο Ενεςτώτ'''=====
*043. In the present tense of Class I verbs, the accent remains on the stem of the verb. In the present tense of Class II verbs, the accent is on the endings.

====There Is/Are - {{Color|blue|'''βαρ'''}}/{{Color|blue|'''γιοκ'''}}====

:::There is a flower on the table.
::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} ανθ εν το τραπέζ.'''

::'''{{Color|blue|Γιοκ}} αδέλφ τις '''; She does not have a sister.


==The Use of <font color=blue>na</font>==
====Deponent Verbs - '''Αποθετίκ Ρίματα'''====
