To conjugate kokende, it all seems to start off easily enough. For the present tense, drop the ‘ko-’ at the beginning as usual. But in this case, you’ll also need to drop a few more letters – the ‘nde’ – at the end. This will leave just – ‘-ke’. Not much, I know. | To conjugate kokende, it all seems to start off easily enough. For the present tense, drop the ‘ko-’ at the beginning as usual.

Irregular verbs – kokende – to go – Learn the Lingala Language
To conjugate kokende, it all seems to start off easily enough. For the present tense, drop the ‘ko-’ at the beginning as usual. But in this case, you’ll also need to drop a few more letters – the ‘nde’ – at the end. This will leave just – ‘-ke’. Not much, I know.
Use the appropriate subject pronoun – na-, o-, a-, to-, bo-, ba-, e- – at the beginning as usual.
And then add the final ‘-i’.
So for the present tense, this becomes:
- na+ke+i – nakei – (nah-KAY-ee) – I go
- o+ke+i – okei – (oh-KAY-ee) – you go
- a+ke+i – akei – (ak-KAY-ee) – he/she goes
- to+ke+i – tokei – (toh-KAY-ee) – we go
- bo+ke+i – bokei – boh-KAY-ee) – you go (plural)
- ba+ke+i – bakei – (bah-KAY-ee) – they go
- e+ke+i – ekei – (eh-KAY-ee) – it goes
Right, so here’s where it gets a bit tricky. For the remaining three basic tenses, things generally revert back to the same pattern as the regular verbs.
For the past tense, first drop the ‘ko-’, leaving ‘-kende’. Since there isn’t a final ‘-a’ to drop, keep the root as it is and then add ‘-ki’ as normal.
- na+kende+ki – nakendeki – (nah-KEN-deh-kee) – I went
- o+kende+ki – okendeki – (oh-KEN-deh-kee) – you went
- a+kende+ki – akendeki – (ah-KEN-deh-kee) – he/she went
- to+kende+ki – tokendeki – (toh-KEN-deh-kee) – we went
- bo+kende+ki – bokendeki – (boh-KEN-deh-kee) – you went (plural)
- ba+kende+ki – bakendeki – (bah-KEN-deh-kee) – they went
- e+kende+ki – ekendeki – (eh-KEN-deh-kee) – it went
The future tense form goes back the system for regular verbs, with the subject pronoun added to the infinitive:
- na+kokende – nakokende – (nah-koh-KEN-deh) – I will go
- o+kokende – okokende – (oh-koh-KEN-deh) – you will go
- a+kokende – akokende – (ah-koh-KEN-deh) – he/she will go
- to+kokende – tokokende – (toh-koh-KEN-deh) – we will go
- bo+kokende – bokokende – (boh-koh-KEN-deh) – you will go (plural)
- ba+kokende – bakokende – (bah-koh-KEN-deh) – they will go
- e+kokende – ekokende – (eh-koh-KEN-deh) – it will go
And the imperative also follows the regular verb format. Simply drop the ‘ko-’ at the beginning: ko-kende – kende! (KEN-deh) – go!
