Struktura
The word "sem" means, who, whose, which, that and is used to connect subordinate clauses which refer back to the main clause of the sentence.
The present perfect tense is formed with the helping verb 'hend'-to have, used with the past tense of the verb.
hend knoset-have known
hend dunet-have done
hend komet-have come
hend etet-have eaten
hend lernet-have learned
hend eset-have been
Note that there are no irregular past participles.
The imperative is the same as the present tense of verb. In writing, emphasis is given to the imperative by using an exclamation point.
Kom!--Come
Dun!--Do it!
Lokse!--Watch out!
