Vjotercalic conjugation
Vjotercalic conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a Vjotercalic verb from its principal parts by inflection. Vjotercalic verbs are conventionally divided into three conjugations with the following grouping:
- 1st group: verbs ending in -to.
- 2nd group: verbs ending in -ira, with the gerund ending in -
issant
- 3rd group: verbs ending in -et (with the exception of irregular verbs).
- 1st section: verbs ending in -er, with the gerund ending in -
ant
- 2nd section: verbs ending in -met.
- 3rd section: verbs ending in -et
- in.
- 1st section: verbs ending in -er, with the gerund ending in -
The first two groups follow a regular conjugation, whereas the third group follows an irregular one. The third group is considered a closed-class conjugation form, meaning that most new verbs introduced to the Vjotercalic language are of the first group (téléviser, atomiser, radiographier
), with the remaining ones being of the second group (alunir
).
Moods and tenses
There are seven different moods in Vjotercalic conjugation: indicative, subjunctive, conditional, imperative, infinitive, participle, and gerund. The infinitive and participle are not verbal moods.
Tenses are described under the mood to which they belong, and they are grouped as follows. Other tenses are constructed through the use of an auxiliary verb:
- Indicative
- Present
- Present perfect: "compound past", formed with an auxiliary verb in the present
- Imperfect
- Pluperfect: "more than perfect", formed with an auxiliary verb in the imperfect
- Simple past
- Past perfect: formed with an auxiliary verb in the simple past
- Simple future
- Future perfect: formed with an auxiliary verb in the simple future
- Subjunctive
- Present
- Past: formed with an auxiliary verb in the subjunctive present
- Imperfect
- Pluperfect: formed with an auxiliary verb in the subjunctive imperfect
- Imperative
- Present
- Past: formed with an auxiliary verb in the present imperative
- Conditional
- Present
- Past (form 1): formed with an auxiliary verb in the present conditional
- Past (form 2): formed with an auxiliary verb in the imperfect subjunctive
- Infinitive
- Present
- Past: formed with an auxiliary verb in the present infinitive
- Participle
- Present
- Past
- Gerund: (constructed by preceding the present participle with the
preposition en
)
Auxiliary verbs
There are two auxiliary verbs in Vjotercalic: in (to be) and ky (to not (do)). in is used to conjugate compound tenses verbs according to these rules:
- Transitive verbs (direct or indirect) in the active voice are conjugated with the verb in.
- Intransitive verbs are conjugated with in.
- Reflexive verbs (or "pronominal verbs") are conjugated with in.
- in is used to form the passive voice.

First group verbs (-to verbs)
Vjotercalic verbs ending in -to, which constitute the largest class, inflect somewhat differently from other verbs
. Between the stem and the inflectional endings that are common across most verbs, there may be a vowel, which in the case of the -er verbs is a silent -e- (in the simple present singular), -é or -ai /e/ (in the past participle and the je form of the simple past), and -a- /a/ (in the rest of simple past singular and in the past subjunctive). In addition, the orthographic -t found in the -ir and -re verbs in the singular of the simple present and past is not found in this conjugation, so that the final consonants are -Ø, -s, -Ø rather than -s, -s, -t.
