The reason is that the number of verbs is more limited in Finnish, and even loan words are formed to verbs with specific endings. Nouns on the other hand can take (almost) any shape. And loan words can be used as such, with the Finnish noun endings of course. So you could take the English word ‘sting’, and apply inflectional endins to it.

So ‘satakaksi’ or ‘102’ have all the 15 cases as do the nouns. Verbix is able to decline the numbers. So whether you write ‘102’ or ‘satakaksi’, Verbix will so all the inflections. Moreover, if yo write ‘102’ Verbix will also write the number as text ‘satakaksi’.

These verbs are called defective. For instance, the following Scots Gaelic verbs are defective: arsa (only past) faod (only present and conditional) siuthad (only imperative) thalla (only imperative) theab (only past) trobhad (only imperative) tàrlaidh (no present) Posted on March 14, 2020 Categories Language Tags conjugation , defective , Scots Gaelic , Verb Leave a comment on Defective Verbs in Scots Gaelic Accents in Greek Verbs Greek verb forms make use of the accent, so does the dictionary lookup word too.

I watched it and liked it. Starting from Proto-Italic it shows on the map the spread of the languages along with a time-line. So much information in so comressed format. And Verbix conjugates the verbs of much of the Romance languages shown in the video: Proto-Italic Latin French Romanian Italian Spanish Portuguese etc. Moreover Verbix docs has a lot of information of the other languages mentioned.

In Finnnish, verbs with a new meaning a derived from the base verb by adding affixes (suffixes) to the base word E.g. maalata (to paint), maala uttaa (to have something painted). Here maalata is the base verb, and maalauttaa is derived from it by adding -uttaa to the verb stem. Starting from December 2019, Verbix shows derived verbs in the conjugation tables.

So in its infinitive the prefix is added before the root verb. Inseparable verbs keep the prefix before the root verb in all tenses, thus being inseparable. Separable verbs have the prefix separated from the root verb in most tenses. Inseparable verb: be kommen (to receive), ich be komme (I receive) Separable verb: an kommen (to arrive), ich komme an (I arrive) Both verbs have the same root verb kommen (to come). So the prefixes are used to change the meaning but the verb conjugation follows the pattern of the root verb. Starting from December 16th, Verbix online conjugator shows in German verb conjugation tables the prefixes (inseparable/separable) and other verbs with the same prefix. In addition the root verb is shown along with different prefixes.

It is spoken in the South-Eastern part of Estonia, where also Seto is spoken. Võro and Seto languages on the Estonian map Võro has preserved the system of vowel harmony that was present in Proto-Finnic. The vowel harmony system distinguishes front, back and neutral vowels, much like the system found in Finnish. A word cannot contain both front and back vowels. From its closest Finnic language neigbours, Estonian doesn’t have vowel harmony but Finnish has.

(The article in Swedish can be found here ). In practice disappearing means that the word has fallen in disuse; either the word is old-fashioned and not used anymore, or there is a synonym that has replaced the old word. Moreover disappearing means in the article that words won’t be incorporated in the next edition of the SAOL (Svenska Akademiens ordlista, Word List of the Swedish Academy). In order to keep the old words in speech, Språktidningen proposes that we should adopt the words” by keep using them. In this context Verbix should adopt these...
