Common Verbs in the Present Tense

There are over a thousand common verbs in the formal language of the raptors, though only half are expressed in spoken dialect. These verbs follow a simple pattern and are conjugated into five ways: you, me, he/she, we, and them. These endings are used in every verb expressed in the present tense. If two verbs are expressed together, e.g. Farsí langíanyi marloch au Grimald (It is unlikely you are a fighter of the Grimald clan), the first verb is conjugated, while the second is left in its infinitive form.

Infinitives, regardless of their ending (A, E, I or U) follow the conjugation chart above only in the present tense. This allows for simple discourse between members of the speaking community.
