Basque verbs are generated by the infinitive of the verb you want to conjugate followed by the auxiliary-conjugated-form.
This form depends on the actions of the subject: 1. NOR - NORI: (who - to who) The subject does something to someone/something (John speaks to Peter) 2. NOR - NORK: (who - of who) The subject does something to someone/something of someone/something (John reads Peter's book) 3. NOR - NORI - NORK: (who - to who - of who) The subject does something that affects someone/something of someone/something (We give a present to the sister of Peter and Paul) There are 7 persons for each conjugation:
It means that you have 7x7 actions for the first and second group (NOR - NORI and NOR - NORK ) and 7x7x7 actions for the third group(NOR - NORI - NORK). |
