Conditional (1) ur mi, tu, il, nos, vu, zi ur I should have,

you would have

Present participle ande having (adjective : anda)

Compound participle .. inde having had (adjective inda)

(1) The conditional tense may be ignored by beginners and by people who don’t use this tense in their mother tongue.

This verb i is the pattern and ending FOR ALL OTHER VERBS (every verb consists of a stem, suffixed by one of the eight forms of the verb’i): si to be ; mi sar I am ; il sir he was; nos sor we shall be; sat been ; fi to do ; tu far you do ; vu fir you did; el fur she would do; fande doing; vidi to see; il vidar he sees; vu vidor you will see; mi ar vidat I have seen ; promeni to walk; zi promenir they walked; el ar promenat she has walked.

The Imperative-Subjunctive of polysyllabic verbs ends with u instead of iu : Mirii et fem! Look at this woman!; Nos promenu um lo kastel! Let us walk around the castle!

ACTIVE COMPOUND VERBS are as in English : mi ar sat I have been; vu ar fat you have done; nos ar vidat we have seen; el ir promenat she had walked; vu ur pensat you would have thought; zi or endat they will have finished.

This “occidental” construction may be replaced by the Esperanto suffix inta, modified in Neo into inda (with auxiliary verb si, to be) : mi sinda I have been ; vu sir sinda you had been ; zi sor vidinda they will have seen; vu flnda you have done ; nos vidinda we have seen ; el sir promeninda she had walked ; vu sur pensinda you would have thought; zi sor endinda they will have finished.

PASSIVE VERBS (auxiliary verb si) : mi (sar) batat I am beaten; zi sir batat they were beaten; nos sur batat we should be beaten; vu sor batat you will be beaten; zi sir vidat pe mulunos they were seen by many people.

This construction may be replaced by the verbal suffix at: mi batatar I am beaten; zi batatir they were beaten; nos batatur we should be beaten; vu batator you will be beaten ; zi vidatir pe mulunos they were seen by many people; il shar si batat he ought to be beaten.

REFLEXIVE VERBS as in English : mi me mirar I look at myself; il se vunar he injures himself; il se kontredicar he contradicts himself.

This construction may be replaced by the verbal suffix is : mi mirisar I look at myself; il vunisar he injures himself; il kontredicisar he contradicts himself.

RECIPROCAL VERBS are conjugated with the verbal suffix uc : nos amucar we love each other; zi kontinue ofenducar they continuously offend each other; Amucu e vu sor ixa! Love each other and you will be happy!

MONOSYLLABIC VERBS

The following monosyllabic verbs are the contractions of the forms in brackets :

i (avi) to have bi (bevi) to drink di (doni) to give fi (far!) to do, to make fli (flugi) to fly gi (igi) to go ji (iji) to become kri (kredi) to believe li (lati) to leave, to let

Both forms have exactly the same meaning; one may therefore optionally use one or the other, according to one’s taste or the feeling.

Thus, you can choose either form : l’aglo flar or l’aglo flugar(the eagle flies); mi no par fi eto, mi no posar fi eto, mi no par fari eto or mi no posar fari eto (I can’t do this).

It is suggested to use the dissyllabic (two syllable) form of these verbs except for the auxiliary verb i) when addressing people in an international meeting, in which case it is also necessary (whichever language used) to speak slowly, in order to make understanding easier.
