Verbs with D-classifier

Basics

Verbs with D-classifier are fairly easy to learn, as there basic make-up is similar to verbs with Ø-classifier. A d, or sometimes a t, precedes the verb stem in every single verb form. For now, you can think of this d as a part pf the verb stem. It will be a while until we learn what the D-classifier actually can do!

Because the d just precedes the stem, the person prefixes look just like they did with the Ø-classifier.

In the table, both intransitive and transitive third person forms are presented.
