Prussian Lesson 6 Perfect Past lábdien klasá! The perfect past tense is the preferred way of communing events of the past in day-to day speech in standard Prussian. Certain dialects of Prussian, especially those in urban regions, prefer to avoid perfect past as it is "slower" than imperfect past. In the perfect past the action verb is replaced by a helping verb (sieæt or hámmæt) and then the verb is put into its "perfect" form and is placed at the very end of the sentence. But the question is now, which helping verb to use? This answer has a lot of grey areas and is one of the reasons that imperfect might be preferred. The basic rule is: - If motion or change of state is involved, use sieæt The major exception to this is sieæt itself, as it does not imply movement or change yet uses sieæt. This is a special rule for a more correct sounding sentence. Use hámmæt with hámmæt and sieæt with sieæt. The perfect form of a verb is created by dropping the verb stem (either -t or -æt) and adding "ge" to the beginning of the world and either "-æn" or "-an" to the end depending if it is singular or plural (respectively). 4th person uses a different form, noted below. ![]() The first exception is to words with separable beginnings (like those starting with "in-") where "ge" is placed after "in" but before the base verb. "I went to the store" æs siej uz se ærn gebráulæn "They played football" hie hán futbol geplegan "He was named Louis" he sief Ludis ingenámnæn "She was summoned to the King" viv siet uz se sinik ingekállán "Michael bought a pint of mead" Mikelis hát ien kæác med gepirkumæn "Today our teacher taught us Prussian" shodien hát urins skólótája usó próshæn gemakæn Edited by pirmas, Jan 2 2010, 08:06 PM.
