Atakva has 84 forms of every verb, which you can use in any appropriate circumstances for specifics. The Atakva suffixes are -t for pluralizing nouns, verbs, and pronouns, -vlu (or -lu, if the verb ends in a v) which is a conjugation suffix meaning I. Take for example hyak (to see). You can make it hyakvlu (I work) by adding -vlu, and the same goes for all the other pronouns. Add them as suffixes, if the last letter of the verb is the same as the first letter of the pronoun, drop one of those 2. Add na- to the beginning of a verb as a prefix meaning not or no. Add kani- or vas- to the beginning of a verb to make it past tense or future tense. So in Atakva, you can say “We haven’t seen multiple times” in one word: nakanihyaktvlut.
