Language/Turkmen/Grammar/Verbs

Hello Turkmen learners! 😀

In today's lesson, you will learn how to use verbs in Turkmen.

Verbs agree with their subjects in person and number. Verbs have the following grammatical categories:

• two numbers: singular and plural;
• three persons: 1st, 2, 3rd;
• five moods: indicative, dubitative, imperative, conditional, subjunctive;
• two voices: active and passive;
• three tenses: present, past, future;

evidentiality which indicates whether evidence exists for a given statement.

Turkmen contrasts direct information (reported directly) and indirect information (reported indirectly).
