| ==Verbs==
| |
| | |
| ===tense / aspect===
| |
| | |
| The future tense is marked with the suffix '''-tli'''. Past tenses, including perfect and
| |
| pluperfect, are marked with the suffix '''-ye'''. The present tense is unmarked:
| |
| | |
| * '''na ina''' - <tt>1.S eat</tt> - I eat / I am eating. | |
| * '''na inatli''' - <tt>1.S eat.FUT</tt> - I will eat / I am about to eat.
| |
| * '''na inaye''' - <tt>1.S eat.PAST</tt> - I eat / I was eating / I have eaten / I had eaten.
| |
| | |
| [[Kala]] does not distinguish perfect and imperfect aspects of the verb (e.g. ‘I ate’, ‘I used to eat’, ‘I
| |
| have eaten’, ‘I had eaten’). However, one can easily clarify the temporal sequence of two actions by
| |
| marking the earlier one with the adverbial '''tsa''' (‘already’).
| |
| | |
| ===mood===
| |
| | |
| * The conditional mood is formed with the particle '''iya'''.
| |
| | |
| * '''iya na ina''' - <tt>COND 1.S eat</tt> - I might be eating.
| |
| | |
| * The imperative mood is formed with the particle '''kya'''.
| |
| | |
| * '''kya ina''' - <tt>IMP eat</tt> - Eat!

| |
| | |
| * '''na inak''' - <tt>1.S eat.NEG</tt> - I do not eat / I am not eating.
| |
| | |
| * The volitive mood is formed with the suffix '''-ue''' (from '''ueha''' - to want, desire).
| |
| | |
| * '''na inaue''' - <tt>1.S eat.VOL</tt> - I want to eat.
| |
| | |

| * '''na inahe''' - <tt>1.S eat.NEC</tt> - I need to eat.
| |
| | |
| * The abilitative mood is formed with the suffix '''-pa''' (from '''pala''' - to be able).
| |
| | |
