rūdijo 'to rust') belong to the first conjugation. In Lithuanian every single verbal form can be derived from three stems: infinitive, 3rd person present tense and 3rd person past tense. Lithuanian verbs belong to one of the following stem types: primary (verbs without suffixes: pykti, pyksta, pyko ʽto be angry’). This group encompasses most of the verbs with irregular or unpredictable forms; mixed (verbs with suffixes in certain forms: mylėti, myli, mylėjo ʽto love’); suffixal (verbs with suffixes in all forms: didėti, didėja, didėjo ʽto increase’). The 3rd person of every conjugatable verbal form in Lithuanian has no distinction between numbers: all the singular, dual and plural forms have merged into one single form. Declinable forms (such as compound tenses and passive structures), however, must match according to gender and number. This is a shared feature with its closest relative, the Latvian language. Modern Lithuanian grammarians no longer consider the 3rd person as having an ending, instead it is now called the "final stem vowel" to which a personal ending is attached in order to make the 1st and the 2nd persons: {| class="wikitable" |- ! ! colspan=2| Simple ! colspan=2| Reflexive |- ! ! colspan=1| Singular ! colspan=1| Plural ! colspan=1| Singular ! colspan=1| Plural |- |align="center"|1st |align="center"|u |align="center"|me |align="center"|uosi |align="center"|mės |- |align="center"|2nd |align="center"|i |align="center"|te |align="center"|iesi |align="center"|tės |- |align="center"|3rd |colspan=2 style="text-align: center;"|∅ |colspan=2 style="text-align: center;"|∅ + si |} In reality, however, the attachment of the respective ending to the 3rd person stem is not straightforward and requires additional conversion, e. g. if the 3rd person stem ends in -a, the attachment of the ending -u to make the 1st person form produces -u instead of the expected -au. Moreover, certain notable forms have dropped the final vowel in the 3rd person (future tense, conditional mood), however, the forms for other persons are still composed having the stem vowel in mind (dirbti to work → dirbs he will work → dirbsime we will work). Each one of these conversions are being represented in the following conjugation tables. Active voice The active voice in Lithuanian has four moods: Indicative Indirect Imperative Conditional Indicative mood In the active voice, the indicative mood contains 4 simple and 7 compound tenses. In each tense five examples are given: three belonging to each conjugation group (dirbti, norėti, skaityti), one reflexive (praustis) and būti – the only auxiliary verb in Lithuanian.
