| Values: | Conv | Fin | Inf | Part | PartRes |
The feature is used exclusively with verbs and auxiliaries. Participles are treated as verbs and not adjectives in Russian treebanks.
Fin: finite verb
Rule of thumb: if it has non-empty Mood, it is finite. In Russian this applies to indicative and imperative forms, and to the special conditional forms of the auxiliary verb быть.
Examples
- несу, несёшь, несёт, несём, несёте, несут “I carry, you carry, he/she/it carries, we carry, you carry, they carry”
- неси, несите “carry” (imperative in different persons and numbers)
- буду, будешь, будет, будем, будете, будут “I will be, you will be, he/she/it will be, we will be, you will be, they will be”
- будь, будьте “be” (imperative in different persons and numbers)
Inf: infinitive
Infinitive is the citation form of verbs. It is also used with the auxiliary быть to form periphrastic future tense, and it appears as the argument of modal and other verbs.
Examples
- нести “to carry”
- быть “to be”
Part: participle
Participle is a non-finite verb form that shares properties of verbs and adjectives. Russian has two types of participles:
- The active past participle is used to form the active voice.
- The passive participle is used to form the passive voice.
Participles inflect for Gender and Number but not for Person.
Examples
- пишущий, пишущая, пишущее, пишущие “writing”
- писаный, писаная, писаное, писаные “carried”
Conv: converb
The transgressive, also called adverbial participle, is a non-finite verb form that shares properties of verbs and adverbs.
Imperfective verbs form present transgressive, meaning “while doing”.
Perfective verbs form past transgressive, meaning “having done”.
Examples
- _неся;“carrying”)
-
принеся “having brought”
- собака подошла ко мне виляя хвостом; “the dog came to me wagging its tail”
- приготовив обед, она позвала семью к столу; “having prepared the dinner, she called her family to the table”
