Regular Verbs (Regelrette Udsagnsord).
Regular Dano-Norwegian Verbs admit of being grouped under two heads, which are classified as weak modes of conjugation. These are: (1) Those which take ede in the imperfect past of the indicative, and et in the participle past; as, at elske, 'to love,' i. p. elskede, p. p. elsket. (2) Those which add te in the imperf. past of the indicative, and t in the p. past, directly to the root of the word; as, at stræbe, 'to strive,' i. p. stræbte, p. p. stræbt.
In both these forms, the three persons of the present tense of the indicative always end in r in the singular; as, jeg, du, han (or hun), and De, tröster, 'I, etc., console,' from at tröste, 'to console;' jeg, etc., spörger, 'I, etc., ask,' from at spörge, 'to ask.'
The following examples show the manner in which verbs belonging to these two forms are declined:—
| Infinitive. | Indicative. | |||
| Present. | Imp. Past. | |||
| at elske, to love | jeg, etc., elsker, I, etc., love, | elskede. | ||
| vi, etc., elske, we, etc., love, | (for all persons). | |||
| at söge, to seek | jeg, etc., söger, I, etc., seek, | sögte. | ||
| vi, etc., söge, we, etc., seek, | (for all persons). | |||
