Conjugations
When you conjugate the verb it is slightly different than other languages, first you conjugate it in either the singular or plural form by dropping an "i" and adding the ending, then you add the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person pronoun before the verb. Also to negate the verb add "le" after the verb, but when used in progessive verbs the ending "dela" will be used (as opposed to "dale")
- Singular ending- "si"
- Plural ending- "ni"
- 1st person---La
- 2nd person---Na
