Template:ca-conj/documentation

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

Usage

This template creates a conjugation table for all Catalan verbs.

This template should be placed in a conjugation section, headed by a ====Conjugation==== section header. The template automatically categorizes the entry into the appropriate Catalan verb subcategory (e.g. Category:Catalan first conjugation verbs). If the verb has consonant alternations, it will be categorized appropriately (e.g. or Category:Catalan verbs with g-gu alternation), and if the verb is irregular, it will be categorized into Category:Catalan irregular verbs.

Basic usage

This template has no required parameters. For nearly all verbs, both regular and irregular, no parameters are necessary. In particular, the module knows how to conjugate all irregular verbs.

You can also specify the verb explicitly, e.g. {{ca-conj|cantar<>}}, or just e.g. {{ca-conj|cantar}} if no indicators need to be given. This is useful to conjugate a verb that is different from the pagename of the entry in question, e.g. to give the conjugation of the verb dir-se on the page dir.

Examples

Regular verbs, including those with consonant alternations

1. The verb cantar (“to sing”) is fully regular. Use as follows:

	negative (no)	—	no paguis	no pagui	no paguem	no pagueu	no paguin

3. The verb distribuir (“to distribute”) is regular other than having a predictable addition of a diaeresis over the i (i.e. ï) in certain forms, such as the first-person plural present indicative distribuïm. This is handled automatically, so no parameters are needed. Use as follows:

{{ca-conj}}

which produces

Conjugation of distribuir (third conjugation, with -eix-)

	negative (no)	—	no distribueixis	no distribueixi	no distribuïm	no distribuïu	no distribueixin

Irregular verbs

The module knows how to conjugate all irregular verbs, including compounds such as mantenir and endur-se, and no parameters are needed for them.

1. For example, the verb dir (“to say”) has various irregularities: present tense dic, preterite diguí, past participle dit, imperative digues, etc. Specify simply as follows:

{{ca-conj}}

which produces

Conjugation of dir (mixed conjugation, irregular, with velar infix)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			dir
gerund			dient
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		dit		dita
		plural		dits		dites
person		first	second	third	first	second	third
indicative		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	dic	dius	diu	diem	dieu	diuen
	imperfect	deia	deies	deia	dèiem	dèieu	deien

	affirmative	—	digues	digui	diguem	digueu	diguin
	negative (no)	—	no diguis	no digui	no diguem	no digueu	no diguin

2. The verb acudir (“to attend; to come to mind”) has two conjugations in the present indicative and subjunctive, e.g. third person singular acudeix or acut. These tend to be used differently according to the meaning, with acudeix usually used in the sense "to attend" and acut in the sense "to come to mind". The module knows about this, so specify simply as follows:

{{ca-conj}}

which produces

Conjugation of acudir (third conjugation, with -eix- or without -eix-)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			acudir
gerund			acudint
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		acudit		acudida
		plural		acudits		acudides
person		first	second	third	first	second	third
indicative		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	acudeixo¹, acudo²	acudeixes¹, acuts²	acudeix¹, acut²	acudim	acudiu	acudeixen¹, acuden²
	imperfect	acudia	acudies	acudia	acudíem	acudíeu	acudien

	present	acudeixi¹, acudi²	acudeixis¹, acudis²	acudeixi¹, acudi²	acudim	acudiu	acudeixin¹, acudin²
	imperfect	acudís	acudissis	acudís	acudíssim	acudíssiu	acudissin
imperative		—	tu	vostè	nosaltres	vosaltres vós	vostès
	affirmative	—	acudeix¹, acut²	acudeixi¹, acudi²	acudim	acudiu	acudeixin¹, acudin²
	negative (no)	—	no acudeixis¹, no acudis²	no acudeixi¹, no acudi²	no acudim	no acudiu	no acudeixin¹, no acudin²

¹Especially in the sense "to turn up, to be present".
²Especially in the pronominal sense "to occur".

Here, a footnote is automatically added to indicate the different usages.

Defective verbs

Certain verbs are defective, i.e. are missing some forms. Indicators are available to specify this. For example, the verb caldre (“to be necessary”) is an impersonal verb, with only 3rd-person singular verbs and no imperative. Specify as follows:

{{ca-conj|<only3s>}}

which produces

Conjugation of caldre (second conjugation, irregular, with velar infix, impersonal)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			caldre
gerund			calent
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		calgut		—
		plural		—		—
person		first	second	third	first	second	third
indicative		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	—	—	cal	—	—	—
	imperfect	—	—	calia	—	—	—
	future	—	—	caldrà	—	—	—
	preterite	—	—	calgué	—	—	—
	conditional	—	—	caldria	—	—	—
subjunctive		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	—	—	calgui	—	—	—
	imperfect	—	—	calgués	—	—	—
imperative		—	tu	vostè	nosaltres	vosaltres vós	vostès
	affirmative	—	—	—	—	—	—
	negative (no)	—	—	—	—	—	—

Here, <only3s> means "only third-person singular".

Variant conjugations

A few verbs can be conjugated in more than one fashion depending on the meaning. Specify as follows:

coure means either "to cook" (past participle cuit) or "to sting" (past participle cogut). Specify this using a variant indicator, specifically {{ca-conj|<var:cook>}} or {{ca-conj|<var:sting>}}.
haver is either an auxiliary verb used to form perfect tenses, or a full verb with the meaning "to possess". These uses are conjugated differently; in both cases the conjugations are highly irregular. Specify this using a variant indicator as above, specifically {{ca-conj|<var:aux>}} or {{ca-conj|<var:full>}}.
lluir is conjugated either a regular inchoative -ir verb meaning "to display; to be popular/successful (of a person)", or an irregular "pure -ir" verb meaning "to shine". Specify the latter with no parameters, i.e. {{ca-conj}}, and the former using {{ca-conj|<no_built_in>}}. Here, the no_built_in indicator specifies that the special handling as an irregular ("built-in") verb should be disregarded, and the verb conjugated regularly.

Parameters

The allowed parameters are as follows:

|1=: Optional specification of the verb and/or indicators controlling unpredictable parts of the conjugation. See above.

Multiword expressions

For multiword expressions, place angle brackets after the verb(s) needing conjugation, with any indicators inside angle brackets as needed. This is not actually necessary if there is only a single verb that is the first word of the expression, as is common.

1. For example, for the idiom fer caput (“to kill, to off”), both of the following work and are equivalent:

{{ca-conj}}

{{ca-conj|fer<> caput}}

which produce

Conjugation of fer caput (second conjugation, irregular)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			fer caput
gerund			fent caput
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		fet caput		feta caput
		plural		fets caput		fetes caput

	negative (no)	—	no facis caput	no faci caput	no fem caput	no feu caput	no facin caput

2. The expression retallar i enganxar (“to cut and paste”) has more than one conjugated verb. Place angle brackets after each:

{{ca-conj|retallar<> i enganxar<>}}

which produces

Conjugation of retallar i enganxar (first conjugation)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			retallar i enganxar
gerund			retallant i enganxant
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		retallat i enganxat		retallada i enganxada
		plural		retallats i enganxats		retallades i enganxades

	future	retallaré i enganxaré	retallaràs i enganxaràs	retallarà i enganxarà	retallarem i enganxarem	retallareu i enganxareu	retallaran i enganxaran
	preterite	retallí i enganxí	retallares i enganxares	retallà i enganxà	retallàrem i enganxàrem	retallàreu i enganxàreu	retallaren i enganxaren
	conditional	retallaria i enganxaria	retallaries i enganxaries	retallaria i enganxaria	retallaríem i enganxaríem	retallaríeu i enganxaríeu	retallarien i enganxarien

imperative		—	tu	vostè	nosaltres	vosaltres vós	vostès
	affirmative	—	retalla i enganxa	retalli i enganxi	retallem i enganxem	retalleu i enganxeu	retallin i enganxin
	negative (no)	—	no retallis i no enganxis	no retalli i no enganxi	no retallem i no enganxem	no retalleu i no enganxeu	no retallin i no enganxin

3. Normally, each word (including the verb) is autolinked separately. You can override the linking behavior by explicitly specifying links, as in donar voltes (“to go round in circles”), which can be written as follows:

{{ca-conj|donar<> [[volta|voltes]]}}

which produces

Conjugation of donar voltes (first conjugation)

person		singular			plural
infinitive			donar voltes
gerund			donant voltes
past participle				masculine		feminine
		singular		donat voltes		donada voltes
		plural		donats voltes		donades voltes
person		first	second	third	first	second	third
indicative		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	dono voltes	dones voltes	dona voltes	donem voltes	doneu voltes	donen voltes
	imperfect	donava voltes	donaves voltes	donava voltes	donàvem voltes	donàveu voltes	donaven voltes
	future	donaré voltes	donaràs voltes	donarà voltes	donarem voltes	donareu voltes	donaran voltes
	preterite	doní voltes	donares voltes	donà voltes	donàrem voltes	donàreu voltes	donaren voltes
	conditional	donaria voltes	donaries voltes	donaria voltes	donaríem voltes	donaríeu voltes	donarien voltes
subjunctive		jo	tu	ell/ella vostè	nosaltres nós	vosaltres vós	ells/elles vostès
	present	doni voltes	donis voltes	doni voltes	donem voltes	doneu voltes	donin voltes
	imperfect	donés voltes	donessis voltes	donés voltes	donéssim voltes	donéssiu voltes	donessin voltes
imperative		—	tu	vostè	nosaltres	vosaltres vós	vostès
	affirmative	—	dona voltes	doni voltes	donem voltes	doneu voltes	donin voltes
	negative (no)	—	no donis voltes	no doni voltes	no donem voltes	no doneu voltes	no donin voltes

In this case, the singular of voltes is explicitly linked. The verb does not explicitly need a link, however, because verbs and uninflected portions of the expression are autolinked separately.
