In southern dialects (including Campidanese dialect), these infinitives above change to ''-ai'', ''-i'', and ''-iri'', respectively. Irregular verbs also exist as well.

Overview

Like other Romance languages, Sardinian verbs have a high degree of inflection. However, Sardinian conjugation is rather diverse, but less diverse compared to that of Occitan. Additionally, the indicative and subjunctive imperfect tenses of Campidanese come from Latin indicative perfect and subjunctive pluperfect, respectively. Also, the Latin indicative perfect evolved to poetic preterite in Logudorese dialect, the endings are (from > > > > > ) ''-esi'', ''-esti'', ''-esit'', ''-èsimus''/''-emus'', ''-ezis'', and ''-èsint''. Sardinian once also preserved the Latin conjugation of the indicative pluperfect (e.g. sc. ''derat'' from lat. ''dederat'', sc. ''fekerat'' / ''fecherat'' from Lat. ''fecerat'', sc. ''furarat'' from VL. *''furaverat'', etc.), but has long fallen out of use. The tenses include (periphrases are in green): *

Auxiliary verbs: ''èssere'' and ''àere''

Both verbs is highly irregular, they contain subjunctive forms in the imperative forms (in Campidanese, the verb ''ai'' is missing the past participle and imperative forms). Like other descendants of Latin verb ''sum'' (see also

, consisting of Latin verbs of (already suppletive) ''sum'' "I am" in remaining forms, and ''stō'' "I stand" in the past participle. The verb ''àere'' is only used as an auxiliary verb, the meaning of "to have" otherwise is by the verb ''tènnere'', in central-southern dialects (see § Irregular verbs). In Logudorese dialect, the preterite (see § Overview) forms of ''èssere'' is ''fui'', ''fusti''/''fisti''/''fis'', ''fuit''/''fit'', ''fimus''/''fimis'', ''fustis''/''fizis'', and ''fuint''/''fint'', similarly, the preterite stem of ''àere'' is ''app-''. Note the second source for Logudorese conjugations, the {{smallcaps, 1sg subjunctive imperfect of ''essere'' and {{smallcaps, 2sg imperative of ''àere'' cannot be included since these forms seems omitted by errors on the source.

Verbs in ''-ere'': ''tìmere''

Verbs under this group are verbs whose the infinitive ends in ''-ere'', or ''-i'' in southern dialects. There are slight orthographic irregularity due to being accented in the infinitive and past participle (''tìmere'', ''tìmidu'') but unaccented elsewhere due to default penultimate syllable stress (''timo'', ''times''). This group is derived by the merger of the Latin second and third conjugation infinitives, ''(a)-ḗre'' and ''(á)-ere'', respective, with the infinitive form favored the third one.

''Tènnere'' "to have"

This verb is the meaning of "to have" when not used as an auxiliary verb (as opposed to ''ai''), in central-southern dialects. The second-person imperative plural form uses the corresponding present subjunctive form. ''Pònnere'' "to put" and its derivatives are conjugated similarly to ''tènnere'', but its past participle was ''postu'' instead of ''*pontu''. {, class="wikitable" , + Limba Sarda Comuna ! colspan=2 , Infinitive , colspan=2 , ''tènnere'' , - ! colspan=2 , Gerund , colspan=2 , ''tenende'' , - ! colspan=2 , Past participle , colspan=2 , ''tentu'' , - ! !

Various verbs with minor irregularity


''Andare'' "to go"

This verb are normally not suppletive and conjugated regularly as ''-are'' verbs in ''Limba Sarda Comuna'', but suppletive similarly to verbs like French ''aller'' and Italian ''andare'' (all means "to go") in some dialects. In Campidanese and Logudorese, the imperative forms are suppletive, resulting on forms ''bai'' / ''baxi'' and ''bae'' / ''bazi'', respectively.


''Bàlere'' "to be worth"

This verb has irregular ''-gi-'' in indicative present (in {{smallcaps, 1sg) and subjunctive present tenses (''bàgio''; ''bàgia'', ''bàgias'', ''bàgiat'', ''bagiamus'', ''bagiais'', ''bàgiant''). In Campidanese, the ''-l-'' instead geminates to ''-ll-'' (''ballu''; ''balla'', ...).
