Myrotanian verbs

There are 130 verbs in Myrotanian and they follow a conjugation pattern derived from Dutch, with hints and influences from other languages and systems.

Regular Conjugation

Regular conjugations include adding the appropriate ending to the stem. The stem is formed by removing the -en from the end of the verb. Some verbs end in just -n (with a consonant or even a non-e vowel before the 'n'), in such cases, the stem is formed by just taking the 'n'.

Present (Indicative Mood)

• 1st person singular: -e
• 2nd person singular: -s (or -es if 's' doesn't flow or make a sound difference)
• 3rd person singular: -t (or -et if 't' doesn't flow or make a sound difference)
