===Compound bases===

The bases so far considered can be called "simple". A base in ''i-'' can be attached to another base, forming a compound base. One can then interpret the result in terms of English verb forms by reading backwards. The following list is representative, not exhaustive:

*Past tenses:

**'''continuous past:''' ''~~Geliyordum~~'' "I was coming";

**'''continuous past:''' ''Entiz hašzai'' "I was coming";

**'''aorist past:''' ''~~Gelirdim~~'' "I used to come";

**'''aorist past:''' ''Entiz haštaz'' "I used to come";

**'''future past:''' ''~~Gelecektim~~'' "I was going to ~~come";~~

**'''future past:''' ''Entiz hašvaz'' "I was going to come";

**'''pluperfect:''' ''Gelmiştim'' "I had come";

**'''necessitative past:''' ''Entiz ekin hašzai'' "I had to come";

**'''necessitative past:''' ''~~Gelmeliydim~~'' "I had to come";

**'''conditional past:''' ''Nu ulan haštaz'' "If only I had come."

**'''conditional past:''' ''~~Gelseydim~~'' "If only I had come."

*Inferential tenses:

**'''continuous inferential:''' ''~~Geliyormuşum~~'' "It seems (they say) I am coming";

**'''continuous inferential:''' ''Enzei hašlozu'' "It seems (they say) I am coming";

**'''future inferential:''' ''~~Gelecekmişim~~'' "It seems I shall come";

**'''future inferential:''' ''Ekin hašlovuz'' "It seems I shall come";

**'''aorist inferential:''' ''~~Gelirmişim~~'' "It seems I come";

**'''aorist inferential:''' ''Hašlozu'' "It seems I come";

**'''necessitative inferential:''' ''~~Gelmeliymişim~~'' "They say I must come."

**'''necessitative inferential:''' ''Ekin hašlozu'' "They say I must come."

~~By means of ''ise'' or ''-(y)se'', a verb can be made '''conditional''' in the sense of being the hypothesis or protasis of a complex statement:~~

~~:''önemli bir şey yapıyorsunuz'' "You are doing something important";~~

~~:''Önemli bir şey yapıyorsanız, rahatsız etmeyelim'' "If you are doing something important, let us not cause disturbance."~~

~~The simple conditional can be used for remote conditions:~~

~~:''Bakmakla öğrenilse, köpekler kasap olurdu'' "If learning by looking were possible, dogs would be butchers~~."
