- 3th person
New Germanic has 3 moods:
- Indicative indicates that something is a statement of reality or a fact
- Subjunctive used in dependent clauses to discuss hypothetical or unlikely events, as well as to express emotion, opinion, wishes, polite requests, and necessity; also used in conditional sentences for both the conditions and consequences
- Imperative used for orders and requests
Only a few tenses:
- Present actions according at the time of speech
- Future events occurring in the future
- Past events that have occured in the past
And 3 numbers: singular, plural and unknown. Unknown is used when talking about, for example, people breaking into your house but you don't know how many people broke in. Then, you would say: "Brokde outh by hes" (outh being number unknown)
Number | 1st person | 2nd Person | 3th Person |
---|---|---|---|
Singular | -by | -sy | -gy |
Plural | -be | -se | -ge |
Unknown | -th | -thy | -tho |
