Tense: tense
The Tense feature applies to verbs (VERB and AUX),
specifying the time when the action took or takes place, in
relation to the current moment or to another action in the
utterance.
Tense does not apply to non-finite verbs (infinitives and
participles), the negation verb ei, or verbs not in the
indicative mood (see
http://scripta.kotus.fi/visk/sisallys.php?p=111; in Finnish).
Pres: present tense
The present tense denotes actions that are happening right now or that usually happen.
Examples
- [fi] järjestelmä toimii “the system works”
Past: past tense / preterite
The past tense denotes actions that happened before the current moment.
Examples
- [fi] joukkue voitti “the team won”
