Eastern Armenian verb table

The following is an Eastern Armenian verb table. The Western Armenian verb table can be found here.

(This conjugation is termed "I/II" to coincide with historic/Western numbering, where there are still three distinct conjugations)

Note that traditional Armenian grammars use Aorist for Preterite and Optative for Subjunctive. In Armenian, gerunds / gerundives / converbs (verbal noun) are interchangeable with an English relative clause. For example,

նամակ գրող մարդը namak groġ mardə - The man who is writing a letter / The man writing a letter (there is only a present tense gerund in English)

նամակ գրած մարդը namak grac mardə - The man who has written a letter

մարդու գրելիք նամակը mardu grelik’ namakə - The letter that the man will write (roughly, "the man's will-be written letter")

Additionally, the synchronical gerund or present participle II denotes a simultaneous action. In other words, a concurrency between two verbs:

Ես վազելիս ընկա yes vazelis ənka - I fell while running
