*'''Note:''' Affixes can be combined - e.g. ''~~cunsiismid~~'' "to be made to eat" (stem: ''cun-~~siish~~-am-''). When any derivational ~~affix~~ is added to ''-ish-'' (or derivatives such as ''-siish-''), the ''-sh-'' always becomes ''-s-''. Affixes combine in the order -''oo/aa''- + -''p''- + -''(si)ish''- + -''at/o''- + -''(a)m''-.

*'''Note:''' Affixes can be combined - e.g. ''cunsiismi'' "to be made to eat" (stem: ''cun-siis-(a)m-''), ''maghacaawsami'' "to be caused to name (to one's benefit)" (stem: ''maghac-aap-(i)s-a-(a)m-''). When any derivational suffix is added to ''-ish-'' (or derivatives such as ''-siish-''), the ''-sh-'' always becomes ''-s-''. Affixes generally combine in the order -''oo/aa''- + -''p''- + -''(si)ish''- + -''at/o''- + -''(a)m''-.

===Class III: Adjectival Conjugation===

The adjectival conjugation is used for adjectives and a few stative verbs such as love and hate (which in Somali are adjectives). All Class III verbs are stative, but not all stative verbs are class 3. The citation form for Class III verbs is the third person singular short present indicative. The most basic Class III verb is ''eh'' "being" (stem: ''eh-''). The present has two forms which are used differently.

The most basic Class III verb is ''eh'' "being" (stem: ''eh-''). The present has two forms which are used differently. Notice that in the "long present", the stem becomes ''ee-''. In fact, the long present endings were originally forms of the verb ''eh'' (e.g. ''eéya'' "I am" from ''éh aha'', where ''aha'' is the original 1S prefixed present).

The verb ''leh'' "having, owning" is conjugated as ''eh''. Other Class III verbs are conjugated similarly. e.g. ''cas'' "red" (stem: ''cas-'').

Other Class III verbs are ~~based off of this~~. e.g. ''cas'' "red" (stem: ''cas-'').

*An important (and slightly irregular) Class III verb is ''leh'' "having, owning". It is conjugated regular except for the long present, where the stem becomes ''lee-''. An epithetic ''y'' is inserted in the first person singular. e.g. ''léenaha'' "we have/own" (instead of ''*léhnaha''), ''leéyaha'' "I have, he has" (instead of ''*léhaha, *léhyaha'').

==Tense, Aspect, Mood, and Voice==

'''Notes:'''

*Impersonal passive (with ''la'') is used as the regular passive as well as pseudo-passive.

*Impersonal passive (with ''la'') is used as the regular passive as well as pseudo-passive - e.g. ''la i arki'' "I was seen", ''la jiifa'' "(someone) is sleeping".

*Subjunctive forms can be used adjectivally. In this usage, gender and number marking is optional (hence why adjectives need not be marked for plurality).

===Simple Forms===

Line 482:

Line 504:

**Affirmative: "Past Affirmative" with final high tone - e.g. ''nin taghí'' "a man who went"

**Negative: (''an'') + "Past Negative" - e.g. ''nin an taghín'' "a man who did not go" (note that this is identical to the present equivalent; for d=isambiguation, a compound form may be used instead)

====Jussive====

*Affirmative:

**First and second person: Clitic subject + "Present Subjunctive" with penultimate high tone - e.g. ''an tágno'' "let us go"

***In the second person plural, ''-~~tiin~~'' may be replaced by ''-~~teen~~''.

***In the second person plural, ''-tíin'' may be replaced by ''-téen''.

**Third person: ''há'' + "Present Subjunctive" - e.g. ''há taghó'' "let him go"

***In the plural, the ending ''-~~aán~~'' can be ''-~~eén~~'' instead.

***In the plural, the ending ''-áan'' can be ''-éen'' instead.

*Negative:

**''yáa'' + "2S Imperative Negative" - e.g. ''yóosan tághin'' "let him not go"

====Imperative====

*Only occurs in the second person.

Line 507:

Line 531:

**Stative verbs have distinct past and present forms - e.g ''us arke'' "he must/may see", ''us arkaaye'' "he must/may have seen"-->

====Potential====

*Used for an action/state that might occur in the future. It is optionally preceded or followed by the assumptive particle ''~~shoẃ~~''.

*Used for an action/state that might occur in the future. It is optionally preceded or followed by the assumptive particle ''shów''.

**Classes I & II: Past affirmative with ''-i'' replaced by ''-e'' - e.g. ''(~~shoẃ~~) us taghe'' / ''us taghi ~~shoẃ~~'' "he might go"

**Classes I & II: Past affirmative with ''-i'' replaced by ''-e'' - e.g. ''(shów) us taghe'' / ''us taghi shów'' "he might go"

**Class III: Identical to the corresponding Conjugation 4B form - e.g. ''us ahaathe'' "he might become"

====Assumptive====

*Used for an action/state that is assumed to have probably occurred in the past. It is equivalent to the simple past preceded or followed by the assumptive particle ''~~shoẃ~~''.

*Used for an action/state that is assumed to have probably occurred in the past. It is equivalent to the simple past preceded or followed by the assumptive particle ''shów''.

:e.g. ''~~shoẃ~~ us taghi'' / ''us taghi ~~shoẃ~~'' "he must have gone"

:e.g. ''shów us taghi'' / ''us taghi shów'' "he must have gone"

===Compound Forms===

Line 539:

Line 563:

====Conditional====

*Formed from: Infinitive + Past tense of ''leh'' "having/owning" - e.g. ''us tághi lahaay'' "he would go", ''máwsan tághi ~~lahaáyn~~'' "he would not go"

*Formed from: Infinitive + Past tense of ''leh'' "having/owning" - e.g. ''us tághi lahaay'' "he would go", ''máwsan tághi lahaaýn'' "he would not go"

====Present Habitual====

Line 554:

Line 578:

**In the simple present indicative, it indicates habituality (i.e. "regularly fails to").

**In the subjunctive, it can be used instead of the simple negative subjunctive. e.g. ''hadíi us tághi waayó'' "if he does not go", ''ninki tághi waayí'' "the man who did not go"

*la' "to lack" (present) → "to fail to" - e.g. us tághi lá'~~yaha~~ "he is failing to go"

*la' "to lack" (present) → "to fail to" - e.g. us tághi lá'ya "he is failing to go"

**This is used for an ongoing action (i.e. "is failing to").

*''qapi'' "to have" (present, past) → "to have to" - e.g. ''us tághi qapa'' "he has to go"

 ===Class III: Adjectival Conjugation===
-The adjectival conjugation is used for adjectives and a few stative verbs such as love and hate (which in Somali are adjectives). All Class III verbs are stative, but not all stative verbs are class 3. The citation form for Class III verbs is the third person singular short present indicative. The most basic Class III verb is ''eh'' "being" (stem: ''eh-''). The present has two forms which are used differently.

The most basic Class III verb is ''eh'' "being" (stem: ''eh-''). The present has two forms which are used differently. Notice that in the "long present", the stem becomes ''ee-''. In fact, the long present endings were originally forms of the verb ''eh'' (e.g. ''eéya'' "I am" from ''éh aha'', where ''aha'' is the original 1S prefixed present).

-*An important (and slightly irregular) Class III verb is ''leh'' "having, owning". It is conjugated regular except for the long present, where the stem becomes ''lee-''. An epithetic ''y'' is inserted in the first person singular. e.g. ''léenaha'' "we have/own" (instead of ''*léhnaha''), ''leéyaha'' "I have, he has" (instead of ''*léhaha, *léhyaha'').
