Verbs can be categorized into two types: one-word verbs and two-word verbs. One-word verbs are referred to as "ọ̀fọ̀ vọgbítụ," which translates to "root verbs." These verbs are exactly what their name implies—root forms. Two-word verbs are called "yàgú vọ̀gbítụ," meaning "two verbs." These verbs are derived from root verbs. For example, "labi ányákọ" translates to "to breathe," which literally means "to blow breath."
The infinitive "e-" is also used for the imperative
