Template:tl-conj-table/documentation

Documentation
This template serves as a table for Tagalog verb conjugations. It integrates all the series of templates together into one conjugation table, while also considering affix correspondences. Take note that this template does not render the automatic d->r assimilation as what the 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.

Parameters
1 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7 o, d a ir rpl-loc-ka-an rm-mang-ind title
 * The (actor) affix used in conjugating.
 * 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).
 * 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.
 * The object and/or directional affix(es) which correspond to the actor affix.
 * The type of nasal assimilation (for verbs with affixes mang-, pang- -in, pang- -an, ipang-, ikapang-, ...) See Note 2.
 * Indicates which irregular forms the verb forms with the -in and -an affixes. See Note 3.
 * Replaces the locative affix from ka- -an to pag- -an (only for some Class IV ma- verbs). (off by default)
 * Removes the actor-indirect verbs for mang- verbs which are not derived from um- or mag- verbs. See Note 4. (off by default)
 * 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.

Note 1
This is how parameters 5, 6, and 7 are used when dealing with and  verbs. More irregular verbs can be seen at Note 3.

Note 2
There are three different types of nasal assimilation which involve the, , , , and : total, partial, and none (the values for the parameter a). The rules of assimilation are the following:

Note 3
This is the list of verbs with irregular -in/-an forms. The list is used to find out what to fill into the ir parameter. If the conjugation table requires an irregular -in verb, encode in. If the table requires an irregular -an verb, encode an. If the table needs both irregular forms, encode in/an.

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.

Note 4
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:, , , , , , , , ,.

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