'''[[Qasunattuuji]] verbs''' are known for their complexity: a single conjugated verb may stand for a whole sentence. Also, they exhibit noun incorporation: for example: do a speech is rendered as speech-do.

===Aspect===

Marking aspect is optional in Qasunattuuji verbs. It has a perfective versus imperfective distinction in aspect, along with other distinctions, such as: frequentative (-ataq; "to repeatedly verb"), habitual (-simavi; "to always, habitual verb"), inchoative (-hiŋaat; "about to verb"), and intentional (-sahuma; "intend to verb"). The aspect suffix can be found after the verb root and before or within the obligatory person-number-mood suffix.

==Derivation==

The suffix -u creates a verb "be X" from a noun.

The suffix -uh creates a verb "become X" from a noun whose verb doesn't have the be/become X distinction.

The suffix -uh (-uu before a suffix beginning in a consoant) creates a verb "become X" from a noun whose verb doesn't have the be/become X distinction.

The gerund is marked with the suffix -juni (-tuni after t).

The negative suffix -it negates what comes before the radical, being able to come after the root and before the derivational, after the derivational, or both. If the suffix comes before a person, number and mood suffix starting the consonant (except t), a -ti- should be inserted between them.
