Master Slavic Verb Conjugation

Learn how verbs change form to express time, person, and mood in Slavic languages.

Present Tense Conjugation

The present tense in Slavic languages typically involves changing the verb ending based on the person (I, you, he/she, we, you all, they) performing the action.

Example: "to speak"

Russian - говорить (govorit'):
я говорю (ya govoryu) - I speak
ты говоришь (ty govorish') - you speak
он/она говорит (on/ona govorit) - he/she speaks

Polish - mówić:
ja mówię - I speak
ty mówisz - you speak
on/ona mówi - he/she speaks

Key Patterns:

1. Verb stems often remain constant
2. Endings change based on person and number
3. Some verbs have irregular patterns
4. Aspect affects conjugation patterns

Understanding conjugation patterns is essential for expressing actions in time and identifying who performs them.
