Slovene verbs explained

This article describes the conjugation and use of verbs in Slovene. Further information about the grammar of the Slovene language can be found in the article Slovene grammar.

This article follows the tonal orthography. For the conversion into pitch orthography, see Slovene national phonetic transcription.

Grammatical categories

Persons and numbers

Slovene has three numbers (singular, dual, plural), for more information see Slovene declension.

Slovene also has three persons:

  1. First person, used to refer to the speaker or a group the speaker is a part of.
  2. Second person, used to refer to the listener or for a general subject (the same as what one is used in English or man in German).
  3. Third person, used to refer to a person that does participate in a conversation, when there is no subject (with impersonal verbs) and when the subject is not in nominative case (e. g. Slovenian: mene ni doma 'I am not home', but literally 'I is not home').

First and third person can be used instead of second when talking to children. Second person can be used instead of the first when one is talking to oneself and want to sound detached.

Tenses

In Slovene, there are four tenses:

  1. The present tense .
  2. The past or preterite tense .
  3. The pluperfect (past perfect) tense .
  4. The future tense .

Moods

There are 4 verb moods:

  1. Indicative mood, which is used to state a fact or opinion. It can be in all aforementioned tenses.
  2. Imperative mood, which is used to give commands. It can only be in present tense.
  3. Conditional mood, which is used to state possibilities or wishes, for example, If only I were... It can be in present or preterite tense.
  4. Optative or hortative mood, which is used to give commands, for assumptions and for encouragement. It can be in all tenses. Both names are usually used interchangeably, but since there are two ways of formation, terms in this article refer to different ways of formation, especially because only one of them can be used for encouragement (and can hence be called hortative). In Slovene literature, this mood is only considered to be extension of the indicative and conditional mood.

Non-finite forms

In addition, there are several non-finite forms:

  1. Long infinitive in Slovenian: -ti/Slovenian: -či and short infinitive in Slovenian: -t/Slovenian: , the use of the latter one is limited to non-formal situations and mostly to speech.
  2. Supine in Slovenian: -t/Slovenian: .
  3. Two present active participles, in Slovenian: and in Slovenian: -e, indicating ongoing action.
  4. Two past active participles, in Slovenian: -l and in Slovenian: -(v)ši, indicating a past or completed action.
  5. A past passive participle in Slovenian: -n or Slovenian: -t, indicating an action having been performed on something.
  6. Gerund, indicating an act or a thing being acted upon.

Aspect

As in all Slavic languages, Slovene verbs are classified based on their aspect:

  1. Perfective (Slovenian: dovršni) verbs, which represent a completed action.
  2. Imperfective (Slovenian: nedovršni) verbs, which represent an ongoing action.

Each verb is either perfective or imperfective, and most verbs occur in pairs to express the same meaning with different aspects. For example, the concept of jumping is expressed in the 2 different aspects is, which has an imperfective aspect and can roughly be translated as to be jumping (continuously), and, which has a perfective aspect and can roughly be translated as to jump (once). While each aspect is represented by a full verb with its own distinct conjugation, certain combinations are not or rarely used in one aspect or the other. For example, imperfective verbs generally lack a past passive participle, while perfective verbs usually have no present participles. Additionally, the present tense has 2 different meanings depending on the aspect of a verb. For imperfective verbs, it has present meaning, while for perfective verbs, it has a future meaning expressing a desire to carry out the action. For example, Slovenian: To kravo hočem prodati. "I want to sell the cow" (compare this with the future tense Slovenian: To kravo bom prodal. "I will sell the cow").

Transitivity

As well, verbs can be classified based on their transitivity . Many verbs in Slovene can be both transitive and intransitive depending on their use in a sentence. However, all reflexive verbs, which are marked by the pronoun (one self), are intransitive.

Impersonal verbs

There are also impersonal verbs; these can only have forms for third person and participles in neuter gender. These are mostly verbs to describe weather, such as 'to rain' and 'to thunder'.

Voices

There are three voices: active, passive, and reflexive . Active and reflexive voice can be in all tenses, while passive voice cannot be in pluperfect or past (and future) conditional.

Verb classes

Verbs are often classified into six classes, depending on their verbal suffix in infinitive:

Accentual types

There are several different accentual types, that can be divided differently. It is rarely divided the same way as in Proto-Slavic because all the accent shifts have made such division impractical. It is usually divided where the accent is situated and thus the verbs are divided into seven groups.

Polite forms

Slovene has T–V distinction and has many different polite forms. See T–V distinction in the world's languages § Slovene for when they are used.

Morphological structure

Verbs in Slovene have a complex morphological structure as they consist of several phonemes. The core of a verb form prefixes, roots and root suffixes. Root is the only of these three morphemes that is not optional and other morphemes are added to it. In most cases only one is present in a verb, but there are also verbs with more than one root, e. g. 'to urbanize'. Prefixes often indicate a perfective verb. Most verbs have none or one prefix, but some can also have more, such as 'split evenly'. Root suffixes are not so common; an example would be 'cut wood' or 'to urbanize'. These parts together convey the meaning of a verb.

The stem is formed by adding a verbal suffix, which influences the aspect (vs. 'break'; the first one is perfective, the other one imperfective) and the conjugation. Verbs have two stems. The present stem forms the base for all forms of the present indicative and the imperative, as well as the present participles. The infinitive stem forms the infinitives, supine, gerund, and past participles.

Stem is then followed by the form suffix, e. g. Slovenian: -ti for long infinitive, Slovenian: -l for past active participle and Slovenian: -i for imperative. The suffix is then followed by the ending, which is specific for each person/number/case. There are also free morphemes, such as 'pretend', 'make mistakes' or 'love'.

Conjugation

Only the present indicative, the imperative and the non-finite forms are usually formed synthetically, by changing the form of the verb directly. All other forms are periphrastic (analytic), and are formed using auxiliary verbs or other additional words.

Verbs are separated based on the ending vowel of their stem.

Present indicative

In present indicative, verbs have mostly the same endings across all declensions, but those following accentual type II D, III, IV, and some following II A can also have a special stylistically marked ending in third person plural. Those that have ending Slovenian: -ø-m have the infix Slovenian: -s- in second person plural and second / third person dual. The extra Slovenian: -e- is added to the endings when the verb stem ends in a consonant. This Slovenian: -e- causes changes to stems ending in Slovenian: -k- or Slovenian: -g- (which have an infinitive in Slovenian: -); these become Slovenian: -č- and Slovenian: -ž- before the present tense endings.

The special ending in third person plural are always acute, but otherwise do not change the accent, except for the lengthening of short vowels. Verbs following II B, II C and III can be either acute or allow both accents in infinitive, but that does not affect the further accent changes. Verbs following II D, when accented on the same vowel on the stem as in infinitive also have the same accent. Dialectally, verbs in Slovenian: -ø-m can also omit the Slovenian: -s- infix, and it is common for speakers of Littoral dialect group to add the infix elsewhere, as well as to use the ending Slovenian: -do. Ending Slovenian: -o can also have some verbs in Slovenian: -ø-ti Slovenian: -e-m (those from Proto-Slavic accentual type a/c, and accentual type c if they had accent on a long vowel in the stem) e.g.,,, as well as all vowels in Slovenian: -ø-ti Slovenian: -je-m, e. g. .

Forms in brackets are not officially recognized to be correct in standard Slovene. All verbs in Slovenian: -i-m can archaically have short accent on the last syllable in dual and plural, as well as verb .

Imperative mood

The imperative mood is used to give commands, and only exists in the present tense. There are no forms for the third person plural, and use for first and third person singular and third person dual is stylistically marked.

The following endings are added to the present stem of a verb, to form the present indicative. If the present stem ends in Slovenian: -a-, the initial Slovenian: -i- of the ending changes to a Slovenian: -j-. Present stems ending with other vowels drop their final vowel. If the present stem ends in a vowel followed by Slovenian: -j-, then the initial Slovenian: -i- of the ending is omitted. The endings also cause changes to stems ending in Slovenian: -k- or Slovenian: -g- (which have an infinitive in Slovenian: -či); these become Slovenian: -c- and Slovenian: -z-, respectively before the imperative endings, although colloquially they keep the same consonants as in present indicative (Slovenian: -č- and Slovenian: -ž-, respectively).

Examples:

Present active participles

There are two present active participles, which are used almost exclusively with imperfective verbs. They correspond to the English participle in English: -ing, and indicate ongoing or current action.

The first is an adjectival participle. It is formed by adding Slovenian: -eč to verbs with present stem in Slovenian: -i- or those ending in Slovenian: p/Slovenian: b/Slovenian: v + Slovenian: -e- or rarely any other consonant (which lose their final vowel), Slovenian: -joč to verbs with present stem in Slovenian: -a- (the vowel is kept, so Slovenian: -ajoč), and Slovenian: -oč to other verbs with present stem ending in Slovenian: -e-. It declines as a regular soft adjective with fixed accent and is compared periphrastically. Adverb ending in Slovenian: -če is used when the participle is adjectivalized.

The accent is the same for all accentual types, however it is differentiated between different endings. The accent is always on the final Slovenian: o or Slovenian: e. Slovenian: o is long close-mid, but can be short in masculine singular nominative form when it is used as an adjective. Slovenian: e is short in masculine singular nominative form and long close-mid in others, but can also be long close-mid in all forms if not used as an adjective.

The accent is acute, except in masculine singular nominative form, where it allows both accents.

Examples:

The second is an adverbial participle. It was originally the nominative singular of the first participle, which had an irregular form. It is formed by removing Slovenian: from the first participle and changing Slovenian: -o to Slovenian: -e. For verbs whose infinitive stem ends in Slovenian: -ova-ti or Slovenian: -eva-ti and some in Slovenian: -a-ti Slovenian: -a-m/Slovenian: -e-m, infinitive stem is used instead. Verbs with present stem in Slovenian: -uje-m usually also take the infinitive verbal suffix, but archaic form is made with present suffix. Again, the accent depends fully on the type of ending and not on the accentual type. If the accent is on the last syllable, then it allows both accents, otherwise it is circumflex.

Infinitives and supine

There are 2 verbal nouns: the infinitive, which can be long or short and the supine .

The long infinitive is the basic verb form found in dictionaries, and ends in Slovenian: '''-ti'''.

The supine and short infinitive are formed by dropping the last Slovenian: -i of the infinitive. Supine is used after verbs that designate motion. For example, the supine would be used in the following sentences (the supine has been put in bold):

When the infinitive or supine ending is attached to an infinitive stem ending in a consonant, that consonant may change, as follows:

However, there is an accentual difference between short infinitive and supine. In addition, accent in supine is in some accentual types different between perfective and imperfective verbs. Short infinitive has the same accent as supine of perfective verbs, except for two irregular verbs detailed below. The accent is determined by the accentual type, as well as stem vowel and the position in a word:

Verbs in Slovenian: -č-ø-i usually have short infinitive and supine in Slovenian: -č-ø-ø, but some dialects add Slovenian: -t at the end, which is also common in colloquial speech.

Past active participles

There are two kinds of past active participle, used with different functions.

The l-participle exists for all verbs, and is used mainly to form the past and future tense. It is further split into two categories; the descriptive l-participle is used only for analytical forms and therefore can only exist in nominative case and always has to appear with an auxiliary verb. The stative l-participle denotes a state of an object and can also be used as a stand-alone adjective, but not all verbs have it.

It is formed by adding Slovenian: '''-l''' to the infinitive stem. A fill vowel (schwa, Slovenian: -e-) is inserted in the masculine singular form when attached to verbs with an infinitive stem ending in a consonant.

Slovenian: -ø-či|i=noSlovenian: -ə-ł-ø|i=noSlovenian: -ø-l-a|i=noSlovenian: -ø-l-o|i=no
Stative l-participle can be the same as the descriptive l-participle (→ Slovenian: vrȅł/Slovenian: vrẹ́ł), but it sometimes changes to have a fill vowel (→ Slovenian: otŕpəł). The accent can also change between the two.

Accentually, masculine form has the same accent as imperfective verbs in supine, with the exception being verbs in Slovenian: -e-ti and accentual type II D, and the tone can also change. In feminine and neuter forms, short accent lengthens if short, and shifts in accentual types II B and II C.

Verbs in Slovenian: -e-ti, when the supine is accentuated on the last syllable, can have either long close-mid or short accent on e in masculine form. Verbs in Slovenian: -r-e-ti lose the Slovenian: e and the accent is on Slovenian: r. Verbs following accentual type II D have short accent on the last syllable.

Tone is determined by the tone in long infinitive and present indicative, as well as accent length and position in masculine form and accentual type. Based on the accent in masculine form, verbs can belong to one of three groups:

  1. Long accent on the last syllable
  2. Short accent on the last syllable
  3. Long accent that is not on the last syllable

Similarly to imperative, the accent of some verbs following accentual type I can also shift to the next syllable. In these forms, accentual changes are the same as for verbs following accentual type II C.

There are also exceptions; verbs in prefix + that do not have an alternative version ending in Slovenian: živiti|-živiti (e. g.) and verbs in prefix +, which may change to Slovenian: -jti (e. g.) allow both accents in masculine form, the latter ones also in all other forms.

It further declines as a regular fixed or mobile accent adjective and is compared periphrastically. Other forms have the same accent as neuter gender.

Types where accent shifts between forms, however, can vary widely between dialects. Verbs following accentual type II A colloquially prefer to have fixed accent. Verbs in Slovenian: -i-ti can also have fixed accent on the first syllable.

Stative participles decline as regular hard adjectives with fixed accent and are compared periphrastically.Examples:

The š-participle is also an adjectival participle, and is rarely used in modern Slovene and mostly as an adverb. It denotes completed action, and is equivalent to the English construct with having + past participle. It is formed by adding Slovenian: '''-vši''' to the infinitive stem. The ending is only Slovenian: '''-ši''' if the infinitive stem ends in a consonant. Accent is almost always circumflex and on the penultimate syllable, some can also have the same accent as l-participle (example Slovenian: vídeti). Slovenian: e before Slovenian: -vši is always close-mid, but Slovenian: o and Slovenian: e before Slovenian: -ši are the same as in l-participle.

The only example of š-participle used in modern Slovene is Slovenian: bȋvši, meaning "ex", but aside from that few other verbs have commonly used š-participle as an adjective.

Past passive participle

This participle corresponds to the English participle in -ed or -en, and is an adjective that indicates a state of having undergone an action. It exists only for transitive verbs, and almost only if they are perfective. It is formed with two possible suffixes, Slovenian: '''-n''' or Slovenian: '''-t''', but further formation is affected by stem, as well as accentual type. Similarly to l-participle, it is also divided into descriptive and stative passive participle.

Both accentual type and stem affect the accent position, which is marked with Slovenian: ˈ in the following table. If it is not marked, then it is on the same syllable on the stem as in long infinitive. All accents are long, except in Slovenian: -i-ti Slovenian: -i-m and Slovenian: es-ø-ti / Slovenian: os-ø-ti forms, as well as accentual type II D, which are short if marked.

Participle further declines as a regular fixed accent adjective and is compared periphrastically.

Examples of this participle are:

Gerund

Gerund is formed by adding an ending Slovenian: '''-je''' to the past passive participle. Accent position is the same as in the passive participle and accent is the same as in long infinitive, except when on Slovenian: -a-n-je or Slovenian: -e-n-je, when it becomes (apart from some irregularities) circumflex and acute, respectively. Some can also be archaically accented on the last syllable with a short accent. There are also some irregular gerunds, such as .

Gerund is also split into two categories, but most verbs can have both (i. e. is not one or the other as is the case with participles). There is the true gerund, which means an act of doing something, and objectified gerund, which means a thing being acted upon. Not all verbs also have objectified gerund.

Gerund declines as a regular soft o-stem nouns following first neuter declension, but some can be singularia tantum.

Future indicative

Only verbs and have special future indicative forms. For Slovenian: bīti, this is the only correct way (but is colloquially also conjugated as other verbs), while Slovenian: īti can also be conjugated as other verbs.

Conditional

Verb also has a special form when used as an auxiliary verb in conditional mood and is the same for all genders and persons: Slovenian: bi. Full lexical verb therefore still has an analytical form Slovenian: bi bȉl. In an affirmative sentence, it is not stressed, however its negative forms can be accented either on or on Slovenian: bi (Slovenian: né bi or Slovenian: ne bȉ).

Aorist and imperfect

Standard Slovene lost both the aorist and the imperfect, which have been replaced by the preterite. These forms exist exclusively in the Resian dialect, but are slowly fading as well. In nowaday Resian, only the verbs Slovenian: bə̀t (SS) "be", Slovenian: díwat (SS) "give", Slovenian: dujájat (SS) "keep up with", Slovenian: mé̤t (SS), Slovenian: moré̤t (SS) "be able", Slovenian: parájat (SS) "come", and Slovenian: té̤t (SS Slovenian: hotẹ́ti) "want" still have imperfective forms, others are considered obsolete.

Only a few verbs also have an aorist, and all of these forms are considered obsolete as they cannot be understood by most people anymore. There are only three such documented forms:

Aorist and imperfect have been in use in other dialects until the 15th century and vowel clusters in imperfect have already been contracted then.

Analytical forms

Forms given here are in the way they appear in a typical sentence. However, in the dictionary form, lexical verb is first and then everything else, except in negative forms (e. g. Slovenian: naj bi bil delal → Slovenian: delal naj bi bil)

Active voice

Past indicative

The past (or preterite) indicative is used to indicate events that occurred in the past. Modern Slovene does not distinguish the past tense ("saw") from the perfect tense ("have seen"); this distinction was common in Alpine Slovene when aorist served the past tense form.

It is formed with the auxiliary verb (to be) in the present tense, plus the l-participle of the verb. The participle must agree with the subject in number and gender. For example:

Pluperfect indicative

The pluperfect indicative is used to indicate an action that occurred before some other future action. It is rarely used in colloquial speech, where it is replaced by the past tense.

It is formed as though it were the past tense of the past tense: the auxiliary verb (to be) in the present tense, plus the l-participle of the verb Slovenian: biti (to be), plus the l-participle of the verb. The participles must agree with the subject in number and gender. For example:

Future indicative

The future indicative tense is used to state events that will happen in the future.

The verb Slovenian: biti (to be) has its own unique set of future tense forms, with the stem Slovenian: bo-. Other verbs are usually formed using Slovenian: biti in the future tense, plus the l-participle of the verb. The participle must agree with the subject in number and gender. For example:

Dialectally, is used in future indicative as an auxiliary verb, followed by infinitive.

Conditional mood

The conditional mood is used to express desires, wishes, and hypothetical (often impossible) conditions.

The present conditional is formed using the special particle Slovenian: bi, plus the l-participle of the lexical verb. The past conditional is rarely used, like the pluperfect, and is formed analogously: the particle Slovenian: bi, plus l-participle of the verb Slovenian: biti (to be), plus the l-participle of the verb. Examples of the conditional mood are:

In the 18th century, future conditional was also rarely used, which was formed by bom bil + l-participle, e. g. Slovenian: bom bil baral (If I asked [in the future]). Such use has only been recorded to be in active voice.

Optative

An additional kind of imperative, which may be called the optative or hortative, is formed by using the particle (Slovenian: ne) with the indicative or conditional. This acts as a substitute for the imperative in the third person and other tenses as well. It is usually not translated as 'may', because nowadays use is closer to the imperative, so a more appropriate word would be 'should'. However, this kind of form has many uses, so it may also sometimes be translated as 'let' or with passive voice.

Negative forms

It is formed by simply adding in front of the verb, only Slovenian: naj is before. In dictionary forms, the lexical verbs is in last place, except where it combines with the auxiliary verb:

Passive & reflexive voice

The passive voice is formed using the passive past participle of the verb and auxiliary verbs. Reflexive voice is formed by turning a verb into a reflexive verb, by adding the reflexive pronoun to the verb. Passive and reflexive voice is formed as shown in this table:
