Irregular Present Tense Verbs in Armenian

There are three verbs in Armenian which form their present tense by adding the ending -իս to their infinitive forms. These verbs are գալ - “to come”, տալ - “to give”, and լալ - “to cry”. Below are two examples. Լալ follows the exact same structure as the other two.
