Conjugations
Affirmative/Interrogative
Type I/II
Note that traditional Armenian grammars use Aorist for Preterite and Optative for Subjunctive. In Armenian, gerunds / gerundives / converbs 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
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
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
Note: the Conditional mood is sometimes labeled the Hypothetical mood; in the Necessative, պետք է petk’ ē is used as a stronger form of պիտի piti; and that resultive constructions are not moods. They convey a state as a result from a prior action. Compare:
նստում եմ nstum em, I am sitting down, and նստած եմ nstac em, I am sitting.
կառուցվում է kaṙuc’voum ē, it is getting built, and կառուցված է kaṙuc’vac ē, it is built.
