VerbForm: form of verb or deverbative

Even though the name of the feature seems to suggest that it is used exclusively with verbs, it is not the case. The Part value can be used also with adjectives. It distinguishes participles from other verb forms, and participial adjectives from other adjectives.

Fin: finite verb

Rule of thumb: if it has non-empty Mood, it is finite. In Russian this applies to indicative and imperative forms, and to the special conditional forms of the auxiliary verb быть.

Examples

Inf: infinitive

Infinitive is the citation form of verbs. It is also used with the auxiliary быть  to form periphrastic future tense, and it appears as the argument of modal and other verbs.

Examples

Part: participle

Participle is a non-finite verb form that shares properties of verbs and adjectives. Russian has two types of participles:

Participles inflect for Gender and Number but not for Person.

Examples

Trans: transgressive

The transgressive, also called adverbial participle, is a non-finite verb form that shares properties of verbs and adverbs.

Imperfective verbs form present transgressive, meaning “while doing”.

Perfective verbs form past transgressive, meaning “having done”.
