Documentation for Template:dsb-verb. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template creates a headword-line template for Lower Sorbian verbs. It has one obligatory positional parameter and two optional named parameters.

For an imperfective verb, add:

===Verb===
{{dsb-verb|impf|pf=XYZ}}

Here, the second parameter pf= may be followed by the perfective equivalent of the verb (replacing the XYZ in the example above), or omitted if the verb has no perfective equivalent.

For a perfective verb, add:

===Verb===
{{dsb-verb|pf|impf=XYZ}}

Here, the second parameter impf= may be followed by the imperfective equivalent of the verb (replacing the XYZ in the example above), or omitted if the verb has no imperfective equivalent.

For a verb that is both perfective and imperfective, add:

===Verb===
{{dsb-verb|pf|impf}}

(in either order).

For a verb of motion that is specifically either a concrete verb or an abstract verb, add the parameter |type=concrete or |type=abstract as appropriate.

For a verb that is specifically in the durative, semelfactive, or frequentative aspect, add the parameter |type=durative, |type=semelfactive, or |type=frequentative as appropriate.

It is currently not possible to specify a verb as being both concrete/abstract and semelfactive/frequentative. The template may be changed if it turns out to be necessary to specify both.
