This one's been a long time coming, especially considering that the whole "how verbs work" thing is a pretty vital part of making a language! Now you'll finally be able to actually use the various verbs listed on the Khurbyish Dictionary page, rather than just looking at them and saying "hey, these are neat, too bad I have no idea how to conjugate them." XD
Present Tenses
To conjugate a verb into the simple present tense in Khurbyish, just add the suffix "-mu" (M - OO) to the end of the root word. For example, if you wanted to say "I agree" in Khurbyish, you would say "ij menuwumu" rather than just using the verb menuwu (meaning "to agree") on its own.
Something like the continuous present tense in English can be formed when the word yu comes before a Khurbyish verb in the present tense. For example, if you wanted to say "I'm thinking," you would say "ij yu menomu" -- adding "-mu" to the end of meno (to think), and yu in front of it.
Past Tenses
Conjugating a verb into a simple past tense in Khurbyish is similar to the simple present -- just add the suffix "-ru" (R - OO) to the end of the root verb. For example, to say "I drank three beers," you would say "ij gluhru ka vergluhn," adding "-ru" to the end of gluh (to drink.)
A continuous past tense is also possible, and is formed just like the continuous present tense but with "-ru" rather than "-mu." So to say "I was drinking three beers every day," you would say "ij yu gluhru ka vergluhn ko'ohr."
Khurbyish also has a different past tense for events that took place further in the past, especially when referring to things that were different in the past compared to the present. If used for things that are relatively recent (for example, something that happened last week) it carries very strong implications that what you said is no longer the case in the present, whereas if it's used to describe something that happened decades or centuries ago the implication leans more toward just emphasizing how long ago it was. To conjugate a verb into this form, you add "-roi" (R - OI) to the end of the word. Adding yu before the verb has the same effect as with the standard past tense. So if you wanted to tell someone that you used to drink three beers a day at some point in the past (or that you used to drink three beers a day until your doctor told you to cut back last week!), you would say "ij yu gluhroi ka vergluhn ko'ohr."
Future Tense
Much like the present and past, Khurbyish has a simple future tense formed by adding a suffix to the end of the root verb -- in this case "-zu" (Z - OO.) So if, for example, you wanted to say "I'll fly away" in Khurbyish, you would say "ij fasuzu asor," adding "-zu" to the end of fasu meaning "to fly."
That's all for now, but check back in the future -- though the basic stuff that I knew I absolutely needed for the language to work is in place now, I'll probably expand upon Khurbyish verbs and conjugation more at some point, and when I do that information will find its way here.
