=====Imperfect===== {| class="wikitable" ! English ! main clause ! subordinate clause |- | I advance | ''äbädru'' | ''äbädər'' |- | you (m. sg.) advance | ''təbädru'' | ''təbädər'' |- | you (f. sg.) advance | ''təbädri'' | ''təbʸedər'' |- | he advances | ''yəbädru'' | ''yəbädər'' |- | she advances | ''təbädri'' | ''təbädər'' |- | we advance | ''(ən)nəbädru'' | ''(ən)nəbädər'' |- | you (m. pl.) advance | ''təbädrəmun'' | ''təbädrəm'' |- | you (f. pl.) advance | ''təbädrəman'' | ''təbädrəma'' |- | they (m.) advance | ''yəbädrəmun'' | ''yəbädrəm'' |- | they (f.) advance | ''yəbädrəman'' | ''yəbädrəma'' |} Like the perfect, the subordinate forms can take the suffix ''-m'' to express a series of non-past actions. This can be combined with ''näbbär'' to express a habitual past action. Examples: ''ahoññ gäbäya nalfu'' "today we shall go to the market"; ''yəgädəl məss'' "the man who kills"; ''mas tənäsa-m yibara wawt'a tək'ärsi'' "she picks up the sleeping mats and begins to remove the dung." It can be augmented by ''-ən'', with no obvious change in meaning. {| class="wikitable" !
