a vocabulary list or dictionary. The absolute state is normally used for the
generic sense, as in قاوه رهشه qâwa rasha(coffee is black).

The Past Perfect Tense (Intransitive)

For intransitive verbs with past stems ending in a consonant (like hatin > hat-), the past perfect tense,which is functionally equivalent to the English past perfect (‘I had come,you had gone’), is formed from the past stem + i + the past tense of bûn ‘to be.’ Verbs with past stems ending in a vowel (like bûn > bû) form the past perfect tense from the simple stem + the past tense of bûn.
hâtibûm You Came for me
hâtibûyan You came for them
hâtibûy(t) You came for him/her
