This post will start to describe the verbs in Montreiano. I dont have them all, so what I dont have will come later. Verbal endings: In Montreiano, verbs end in -al, -el, -il. In what I will call Old and Middle Montreiano, verbs all ended in -ar, -er, -ir, as they do in Spanish and Portuguese. The change to l reflects a later sound change that affected final r. amal - to love comel - to eat viuil - to live Present Indicative - Present Indicatiuo Very little difference from Spanish or Portuguese at all. al el il 1sg. amo como viuo 2sg. amas comes viues 3sg. ama come viue 1pl. amamos comemos viuimos 2pl. amais comeis viuís 3pl. aman comen viuen Imperfect Indicative - Imperfecto Deu Indicatiuo al el il 1sg. amaua comía viuía 2sg. amauas comías viuías 3sg. amaua comía viuía 1pl. amauamos comíamos viuiamos 2pl. amauais comíais viuíais 3pl. amauan comían viuían Past Simple Indicative - Perfecto Simple Deu Indicatiuo These developed similar to Portuguese. The 2sg. form shows the trend for the drop of /e/ after dentals or alveolars (which wasn't regular within the verbs ending in -e) al el il 1sg. amei comí viuí 2sg. amast comist viuist 3sg. amau comeu viueu 1pl. amamos comimos viuimos 2pl. amasteis comisteis viuisteis 3pl. amaron comèron viuèron Future Indicative - Futuro Deu Indicatiuo Since these conjugations happened before the change of final r - l, they escaped becoming forms like "amalé". al el il 1sg. amaré comeré viuiré 2sg. amarás comerás viuirás 3sg. amará comerá viuirá 1pl. amaremos comeremos viuiremos 2pl. amareis comereis viuireis 3pl. amarán comerán viuirán That's it for now.
