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

This template serves as a table for Tagalog verb conjugations. It integrates all the {{tl-infl-table}} series of templates together into one conjugation table, while also considering affix correspondences.^[1] Take note that this template does not render the automatic d->r assimilation as what the {{tl-infl-table}} template series do. For the table of affix correspondences, go to § Affix correspondences. This template is still under development. Undesired whitespace can be seen in the table in some scenarios.

|1=

• The (actor) affix used in conjugating.

|2=, |3=, |4=

• The root word (para 2: first consonant (or consonant digraph) of first syllable (if none, leave blank), para 3: first vowel of first syllable, para 4: rest of the root word).

|5=, |6=, |7=

• The root word affixed with -in or -an (para 5: first consonant (or consonant digraph) of first syllable (if none, leave blank), para 6: first vowel of first syllable, para 7: rest of the root word). See Note 1.

|o=, |d=

• The object and/or directional affix(es) which correspond to the actor affix.

|a=

• The type of nasal assimilation (for verbs with affixes mang-, pang- -in, pang- -an, ipang-, ikapang-, ...) See Note 2.

|ir=

• Indicates which irregular forms the verb forms with the -in and -an affixes. See Note 3.

|rpl-loc-ka-an=

• Replaces the locative affix from ka- -an to pag- -an (only for some Class IV ma- verbs). (off by default)

|rm-mang-ind=

• Removes the actor-indirect verbs for mang- verbs which are not derived from um- or mag- verbs. See Note 4. (off by default)

|title=

• The page title will show up by default. If the conjugation table is not placed in a page whose word is not affixed with a major actor verb affix, change the parameter's value to its equivalent actor trigger verb.

This is how parameters |5=, |6=, and |7= are used when dealing with -in and -an verbs.

More irregular verbs can be seen at Note 3.

There are three different types of nasal assimilation which involve the mang-, pang- -in, pang- -an, ipang-, and ikapang-: total, partial, and none (the values for the parameter |a=).

The rules of assimilation are the following:

This is the list of verbs with irregular -in/-an forms^[1].^[2] The list is used to find out what to fill into the |ir= parameter. If the conjugation table requires an irregular -in verb, encode |ir=in. If the table requires an irregular -an verb, encode |ir=an. If the table needs both irregular forms, encode |ir=in/an.

(The entries are arranged by ABAKADA, wherein 'k' is placed between 'b' and 'c', and the digraph 'ng' is considered as one letter.)

Footnotes:
¹Has both regular and irregular forms which are used more or less as often as each other. Both regular and irregular forms have the meaning.
²Same as footnote 1, but the irregular form is more rarely used.
³Same as footnote 1, but both regular and irregular forms have different meanings.
⁴Both the -in and -an forms have the same meaning and are interchangeable.
⁵For forms with double suffixes, encode the -(h)an/-(h)in suffix along with the rest of the root word, e.g. for alalahanin, encode as {{tl-conj|mag||a|lala||a|lalahan|...}}

It is recommended that those irregular forms which have footnotes 1, 2, or 3 to display two conjugation tables: one for the regular form and another for the irregular form.

There are some mang- verbs that cannot form other actor trigger verbs with major actor verb affixes. The other mang- verbs are derived from um- or (rarely) mag- verbs. Here are some examples of derived mang-verbs:

Exclusive mang- verbs usually have roots starting with ng, m, or n have a meaning of gathering, hunting, or collecting objects. Here are some examples of exclusive mang- verbs: manganib, manood, mamaga, manatili, manlumo, maniktik, mangisda, mangahoy, mangamote, manalaba.

The word gumawa is done like this.

• {{tl-conj-table|um|g|a|wa|g|a|w|d=an|ir=in/an|o=in|title=gumawa}}

The word magbukas is done like this.

• {{tl-conj-table|mag|b|u|kas|b|u|ks|ir=an|o=an|title=magbukas}}

The word manghinayang is done like this.

• {{tl-conj-table|mang|h|i|nayang|h|i|nayang|a=none|d=pang-an|rm-mang-ind=yes|title=manghinayang}}

The Tagalog Reference Grammar shows which verb affixes correspond to each other which is important when shifting the trigger or focus of a sentence.

Footnotes:
¹Only for root words who have an inherent ki- when conjugated (e.g. (paki)alam, (pakiki)sama, (pakiki)bagay, etc.).

Footnotes:
¹Classes I-III can also form benefactive verbs with -an and pag- -an, but these are generally avoided in formal contexts.
²Generally avoided unless the cause is emphasized.
³Some Class IV verbs, particularly those which correspond with the ipa- object affix, use the locative pag- -an affix, instead of the ka- -an affix.

Footnotes:
¹Mang- verbs not derived from any um- or mag- verbs do not form actor indirect verbs.

Footnotes:
Other object or directional affixes (e.g. pang- -an, ka- -an, etc.) do not form indirect verbs.
