1
Subject Matters: The verb form changes depending on who is performing the action (I, you, he/she, we, they).
2
Tense Markers: Verbs are modified to show whether the action happens in the present, past, or future. The verb stem changes with suffixes.
3
Gender & Formality: In Nepali, verbs may also change based on gender and whether you’re speaking formally or informally (especially in 2nd and 3rd person).
4
Pattern Recognition: Learning to recognize these patterns will help you understand new verbs and use them correctly in various contexts.
