The Verb Structure
Kirundi verbs follow an agglutinative structure: Subject Prefix + Tense Marker + Verb Root + Extensions + Final Vowel. Understanding this structure is key to conjugation.
Examples
N-da-som-a
I read (N=I, da=present, som=read, a=final)
Ba-ra-kund-a
They love (Ba=they, ra=present, kund=love, a=final)
