VERB: verb
A verb is a member of the syntactic class of words that typically signal events and actions, can constitute a minimal predicate in a clause, and govern the number and types of other constituents which may occur in the clause.
The tag VERB is reserved for full lexical verbs, while auxiliary verbs are tagged [AUX]. In Basque, there are two types of main verbs:
- Complete: verbs with aspect, tense, and agreement features
- Incomplete: verbs with aspect and tense features (future tense)
Examples
- Complete: daramat “(I) carry (it)”, dakarkio “(he) brings(present-tense) (it) (to him)”
- Incomplete: ekarri du(AUX) “carry him-it-present-tense(AUX)”,
