Quechua verb conjugation: I

Verbs are used to describe actions. Quechua verbs are conjugated for each person. The conjugation consists of an ending placed on the verb stem. For the first person singular, Quechua verbs typically use the ending '-ni'. Important to note is that pronouns are not used with the verb in Quechua except to create emphasis. This means that, unlike English, the verb is in general used without a pronoun.

Examples

I speak

noqa kutini

I go back

I must

noqa gustani

I like
