The most common diphthongs are ''ia, ua, ue,'' and ''io''. Additionally, ''ui'' is common after /k/ and /ɡ/. The remaining diphthongs are rare.


Note that the glide in falling diphthings is usually realized as palatalization (in the case of ''-i-'') or labialization (in the case of ''-u-'').
Note that the glide in rising diphthongs is usually realized as palatalization (in the case of ''-i-'') or labialization (in the case of ''-u-'').

In the case of nouns and adjectives, the consonant used is ''-n''.
In the case of nouns and adjectives, the consonant used is ''-n''.


Pronouns and particles can have varying epenthetic consonants (usually ''-n'' or ''-d''), which must be memorized.
Third person plural verbs, while not ending in a vowel, take an epenthetic ''-t'' before vowel-initial words.
 
Other words can have varying epenthetic consonants (such as ''-n'', ''-d'', ''-b'', ''-g'', ''-t'', etc.) depending on their etymology.
 
Examples:
*''a'' "to" + ''America'' > ''ad America''
*''da'' "away from, out of" + ''America'' > ''dab America''
*''femna'' "woman" + ''alta'' "tall" > ''femnan alta''
*''ama'' "(s)he loves" + ''arbrex'' "trees" > ''amad arbrex''
*''aman'' "they love" + ''arbrex'' > ''amant arbrex''
 
Counter-examples:
*''de'' "of, from" + ''America'' > ''de America''
*''amo'' "I love" + ''arbrex'' "trees" > ''amo arbrex''

Certain pronouns and particles cause the first consonant of a following consonant-initial word to geminate.


In most cases, these are the same words that add an epenthetic consonant besides ''-n'' when the following word begins in a vowel.
In most cases, these are the same words that add an epenthetic ''-d'', ''-g'', or ''-b'' when the following word begins in a vowel.
 
Examples:

*''da'' "away from, out of" + ''Canada'' > ''da cCanada''
*''ama'' "(s)he loves" + ''carne'' "meat" > ''ama ccarne''

Adjectives agree with the noun they govern in gender and number.


Adjectives whose masculine forms end in ''-o'' are feminized in ''-a''. Otherwise, the masculine and feminine forms are identical. Adjectives ending in a vowel add an epenthetic''-n''when immediately followed by a vowel.
Adjectives whose masculine forms end in ''-o'' are feminized in ''-a''. Otherwise, the masculine and feminine forms are identical. Adjectives ending in a vowel add an epenthetic ''-n'' when immediately followed by a vowel.


Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''.
Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''.
====Comparative and superlative====
The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iore(n)'' which replaces the adjective's final vowel. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esmo(n)/a(n)''. When an adjective's stem ends in ''-r-'' or ''-l-'', it combines with the superlative suffix to form ''-(e)rmo(n)/a(n)'' or ''-(e)lmo(n)/a(n)'' respectively (where ''-(e)-'' is added when the ''-r-'' or ''-l-'' is preceded by a consonant).
Some adjectives ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
Additionally, some adjectives have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
Some common adjectives have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adjectives is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".
===Adverbs===
====Manner adverbs====
There are two main ways of deriving manner adverbs from adjectives:
#Adjectives ending in ''-o(n)/a(n)'': Replace the final vowel with ''-e(d)''
#Adjectives ending in ''-i(n)'', ''e(n)'', or another vowel: Replace the final vowel with ''-ter'' (with penultimate stress).
#*Assimilation applies as it does in the past participle. Expected ''-tt-'' is simplified to ''-t-'' after consonants.
====Comparative and superlative====
Before adding comparative and superlative suffixes, the final vowel (or, in the case of ''-ter'' adverbs, the final ''-er'') of the adverb is removed if present.
The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iox''. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esme(d)''. This suffix undergoes the same sound changes as the corresponding adjective suffix.
Some adverbs ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
Additionally, some adverbs have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
Some common adverbs have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adverbs is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".

===Verbs===
====Verb classes====
There are five verb classes:
#''-are'' verbs (class 1)
#''-ere'' verbs (class 2)
#Non-palatalized ''-re'' verbs (class 3)
#Palatalized ''-re'' verbs (class 4)
#''-ire'' verbs (class 5)
====Present indicative====
{| class=wikitable style=text-align:center
! Class !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5
|-
! 1S
| -o || -io || -o || -io || -io
|-

'''Notes:'''
:1. Before a glide ''-i-'', labialized consonants lose their labialization. This applies in the 1S for Class 2, 4, and 5 verbs and the 3P for Class 4 & 5 verbs. Additionally, Class 4 & 5 verbs whose stems end in coronal consonants undergo stem changes in the 1S and 3P forms:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"
! Expected !! Changed to
|-
| ti
| z
|-
| di
| dz
|-
| si
| x
|-
| zi
| ci
|-
|}
:2. Verbs whose stem end in velar stops (''-c-'' or ''-g-'') maintain their spelling throughout the present indicative regardless of whether that would result in a "hard" or "soft" pronunciation. On the other hand, verbs whose stem ends in ''-ch-'' or ''-gh-'' drop the ''-h-'' when they are not followed by front vowels.
====Present subjunctive====
The present subjunctive is formed by removing ''-o'' from the 1S present indicative and adding the following endings:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Class !! 1 !! Others
|-
! 1S
| -e(n) || -a(n)
|-
! 2S
| -ex || -ax
|-
! 3S
| -e(d/G) || -a(d/G)
|-
! 1P
| -emox || -amox
|-
! 2P
| -etex || -atex
|-
! 3P
| -en(t) || -an(t)
|-
|}
Class 1 verbs whose stems end in a velar stop maintain their lack of palatalization in the present subjunctive.
====Imperfect indicative====
The imperfect stem is formed by removing ''-o'' or (only for Class 2 verbs) ''-io'' from the 1S present indicative and adding the following endings:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Class !! 1 !! Others
|-
! 1S
| -ava(n) || -eva(n)
|-
! 2S
| -avax || -evax
|-
! 3S
| -ava(d/G) || -eva(d/G)
|-
! 1P
| -avamox || -evamox
|-
! 2P
| -avatex || -evatex
|-
! 3P
| -avan(t) || -evan(t)
|-
|}
====Imperfect subjunctive====
The imperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the following endings to the verb's infinitive:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Class !! All
|-
! 1S
| -(n)
|-
! 2S
| -x
|-
! 3S
| -(d/G)
|-
! 1P
| -mox
|-
! 2P
| -tex
|-
! 3P
| -n(t)
|-
|}
====Future====
The future is formed by adding the following endings to the imperfect stem:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Class !! 1 !! Others
|-
! 1S
| -avo || -evo
|-
! 2S
| -avex || -evex
|-
! 3S
| -ave(d/G) || -eve(d/G)
|-
! 1P
| -ammox || -emmox
|-
! 2P
| -aftex || -eftex
|-
! 3P
| -avon(t) || -evon(t)
|-
|}
====Future perfect====
The future perfect stem is formed by replacing the final ''-t-'' of the supine stem (if present) with ''-s-'' (after a consonant) or ''-ss-'' (after a vowel). If the supine stem already ends in ''-s-'', the supine stem is used.
<!--
The future perfect stem may be formed in two ways depending on whether the present stem (the infinitive minus ''-re'' or equivalent) ends in a vowel or consonant.
# If it ends in a vowel: ''-re'' is removed from the infinitive and replaced with ''-ss-''.
# If it ends in a consonant: The final vowel from the past participle is removed. If the remaining supine stem ends in ''-t-'', it is also removed and replaced with ''-s-''.-->
Then, the following endings are added:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! !! Ending
|-
! 1S
| -o
|-
! 2S
| -ex
|-
! 3S
| -e(d/G)

| -emox
|-
! 2P
| -etex
|-
! 3P
| -en(t)
|-
|-
|}
|}
====Perfect indicative====
The perfect indicative is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:

The perfect stem is derived from the present stem in different ways depending on the verb.
*Regular Class 1 & 5 verbs form it by removing ''-re'' from the infinitive and adding ''-g(h)-'' (always hard).
*Regular Class 2, 3, and 4 verbs form it by adding ''-u-'' to the present stem.
*There are many irregular verbs, especially in classes 2-4 (and sometimes 5).
====Perfect subjunctive====
The perfect subjunctive is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! !! All classes
|-
! 1S
| -re(n)
|-
! 2S
| -rex
|-

| -re(d/G)
|-
! 1P
| -remox
|-
! 2P
| -retex
|-
! 3P
| -ren(t)
|-
|}
====Pluperfect indicative====
The pluperfect indicative is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"

|-
! 2S

====Imperative====
The imperative is formed by removing ''-x'' from the corresponding second person present indicative. This applies both in the singular and plural.
====Derived adjectives and nouns====
The following derived adjectives and nouns exist:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Participle !! Formation !! Remarks
|-
! Present participle
| Formed by replacing ''-n(t)'' of the 3S present indicative with ''-nte(n)''. <!--removing ''-va(n)'' from the 1S imperfect indicative and adding ''-nte(n)''.-->
|
|-
! Past participle
| Regularly formed by removing ''-re'' from the infinitive and adding ''-to(n)'' (m.)/''-ta(n)'' (f.). Many verbs have an irregular past participle.
| The supine stem is formed by removing the final vowel from the past participle.
|-
! Future participle
| Formed by adding ''-uro(n)'' (m.)/''-ura(n)'' (f.) to the supine stem.
|
|-
! Gerundive
| Formed by replacing ''-n(t)'' in the 3P present indicative with ''-ndo(n)'' (m.)/''-nda(n)'' (f.)
| Roughly equivalent to the suffix "-able" in English. Depending on the verb, it may have active or passive meaning.
|-
! Agent noun
| Formed by adding ''-ore(n)'' (m.)/''-(t)rice(n)'' (f.) to the supine stem.
| ''-(t)-'' is added in the feminine when it is not already present at the end of the supine stem.
|-
|}
====Stem-changing verbs====
In stem-changing verbs, the stem changes depending on whether it is stressed or unstressed.
In most cases, this involves a vowel change. The main patterns are:
*Unstressed ''-e-'' > Stressed ''-ia-''
*Stressed ''-o-'' > Stressed ''-ua-''
The above stem changes are known as "breaking".
Due to historical sound changes, there may also be consonant changes. Some examples include:
*Addition of ''g-'' in the stressed stem.
**This happens in both types of breaking verbs when the unstressed stem begins in a vowel. In such verbs, ''e-'' and ''o-'' become ''gia-'' and ''gua-'' respectively when stressed.
*Delabialization of labialized consonants such as ''gu-, qu-, du-'', etc. in the stressed stem.
**This happens as a rule in ''e'' > ''ia'' verbs (e.g. unstressed ''gue-'' becomes stressed ''ghia-'' instead of ''*guia-'').
**In ''o'' > ''ua'' verbs, the two labializations are merged (e.g. unstressed ''guo-'' becomes stressed ''gua-'' and not *''guua-'').
====Assimiliation====
=====Infinitive=====
Class 3 and 4 verbs whose stems end in certain consonants assimilate the ''-r-'' of the infinitive into the final consonant. The assimilation has one of the following results depending on the stem structure:
*If the stem ends in a single ''-s, -r,'' ''-l,'' or ''-n'' preceded by a vowel: ''-r-'' is merged with the consonant causing it to be doubled.
*If the stem ends in ''-r,'' ''-l,'' or ''-n'' that is double or preceded by a consonant: ''-r-'' is dropped.
Note that ''-r-'' is neither dropped nor assimilated when it occurs after ''-s'' when it is doubled or occurs after a consonant.
When necessary, the end of the stem can be indicated with an apostrophe. For example:
*When ''-r-'' merges with the following consonant: ''gual'le, fiar're, es'se''
*When ''-r-'' is dropped: ''piall'e''
=====Past participle=====
In regular past participles of Class 3 & 4 verbs:
*A voiced stop is devoiced (in both pronunciation and writing) before ''-t-''. Voiced fricatives are also devoiced in this position, but this is not reflected in the orthography except in the case of ''-v-'', which becomes ''-f-''.
=====Finite forms=====
====Principal parts====
For the vast majority of verbs, whether regular or irregular, the full conjugation can be derived from the following four principal parts:
*Infinitive
*1S present indicative
*1S perfect indicative
*Singular masculine past participle
When the principal parts fail to show a stem change, additional principal parts may be added.
*Present stem: 1S imperfect indicative
**Comes after 1S present indicative
*Perfect stem: 2S perfect indicative
**Comes after 1S perfect indicative
*Supine stem: Singular masculine future participle
**Comes at end
In this article, these "extra" principal parts are shown in brackets.
====Irregular verbs====
=====''esse'' "to be"=====
Despite being classified as a Class 3 verb, the verb ''esse, so, (era), fue, futo'' "to be" is highly irregular and therefore must be treated on its own.

*Prospective: ''esse, so, (era), fue, futo'' "to be" + future participle
*Completive perfect: ''havere, havio, havue, hafto'' "to have" + past participle
**''havere'' may be in any tense to form a corresponding anterior tense denoting a completed action.
**This is similar to the perfect tenses, but it gives the implication that an action has been completed.
*Continuous: ''esse, so, (era), fue, futo'' + present participle
**Unlike in English, this can only be used for an action that is ongoing at the time referenced (as indicated by conjugation of ''esse'').
*Inchoative: ''fire, fio, fighe, fito'' "to become" + present participle
=====Others=====
*Causative 1: ''facre, facio, fece, fapto'' "to do" + infinitive

*Causative 2: ''facre, facio, fece, fapto'' "to do" + past participle
**Means "cause X to be Y-ed" or "have X Y-ed".
====Negation====
Negation of verbs is accomplished with ''ho(d/G)'' or (rarely) ''ne''. Both of these particles precede the verb.
Alternatively, negation may be accomplished by using a negative word.
Double negation is not used in formal language.
