following paradigm: {| class="wikitable" |[STEM] + [reflexive] + [causative] + [passive] + [negation] + [tense/aspect/mood] + [person/number] |} It is possible, albeit rare, for a single verb to contain all of these possible components, as in: For the most part, each type of suffix would only appear once in any given word, although it is possible in some circumstances for causative suffixes to double up. Infinitive verbs take the -mAK suffix and can be negated by the addition of the suffix -mA between the verb stem and the infinitive suffix, creating verb constructions that do not easily mirror English. Verb derivation Novel verb stems are derived chiefly by applying a verbalizing suffix to a noun or adjective, as demonstrated in the following examples: Bare verb stems can also be compounded with noun stems to create new verbs, as in: Person markers There are two types of person markers for finite verbs, pronominal and possessive. Depending on tense and mood, verbs will take one or the other set of endings. {| class="wikitable" |+ Pronominal ! ||Singular||Plural |- !1st Person | -(I)m | -mIz |- !2nd Person | -sIñ | -sI(ñI)z |- !3rd Person | Ø | -(lAr) |} {| class="wikitable" |+ Possessive ! ||Singular||Plural |- !1st Person | -(I)m | -mIz |- !2nd Person | -sIñ | -sI(ñI)z |- !3rd Person | Ø | -(lAr) |} Grammatical person is not marked in third person singular, and the marker is optional in third person plural. As shown above, these markers come as the last element in the broader verb complex. Tense and aspect markers Grammatical tense and aspect are expressed in combination by the addition of various markers to the verb stem. Some of these markers match with pronominal person markers, while others take possessive person markers. Each tense/aspect has an associated negation marker; most of these are -mA but there is some variation. {| class="wikitable" |- ! !! Marker !! Negation !! Person Marker !! Example |- !General Present | -A/y || -mAy || pronominal || alam (“I take”) |- !Present Progressive | -mAKtA || -mA || pronominal || yazmaqtamız (“We are writing.”) |- !Future/Present | -Ar/Ir || -mAz || pronominal || bağırırım (“I will yell.”) |- !Categorical Future | -cAK || -mAy || pronominal || alacağım (“I will [probably] take”) |- !General Past | -DY || -mA || possessive || qırımğa keldik (“We returned to Crimea.”) |- !Evidential Past |
