Tempora and Modi

The following table lists the timeforms found in Folksprak and how they are built in the indicative mode.

$row["name"], "remark" => $row["remark"]]; }, function ($value) { $output = $value["name"]; if ($value["remark"] != null) { $output .= (" " . "(" . $value["remark"] . ")"); } return $output; } ), new class_column ( "Description", function ($row) { return $row["description"]; } ), new class_column ( "Scheme", function ($row) { return $row["scheme"]; }, function ($value) { return format($value, ["word", "lang_fs"]); } ), new class_column ( "Example", function ($row) { global $configuration; return ["original" => [$row["example"]["original"]], "translated" => $row["example"]["translations"][$configuration["target"]]]; }, _bar("sentence") ), ], array_slice(read_json("source/data/timeforms.json"), 0, 3) ); $table->generate(); ?>

Since these forms are built with auxiliary verbs, they can be combined straight forward to form complex expressions. For example ek skal hava skrivt. means i will have written. and ek hav skalt skriva. means sth. like i was going to write..

The imperative only exists in the present (with future meaning) for the 2nd person singular and plural. It is formed by using the bare stem of the verb, optionally followed by the personal pronoun (i.e. either du or je) in order to specify or emphasize the numerus. Examples: skriv!, skriv, je!.
