First Things First
To have your verbs conjugated, you should write them in the transliteration script that the program understands. It's not hard at all, however if you had any problem let me know. Those acquainted with UniPers alphabet should only learn the apostrophe functions.
How to type special characters
To type â, š, and ž characters, press the numeric buttons 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
How to have your verb conjugated
To have your verb conjugated, please type the infinitive form in the text box and of course in the transliteration script that the program understands.
Concerning compound verbs, there must not be more than two parts in the text box (e.g. yâd gereftan) or the program won't output correct conjugation. Even if the first part is preposition, adverb, etc. that is normally written attached to second part, always separate them with a space e.g. bardâštan must be written as bar dâštan. More examples: bar gaštan, tâ kardan, foru raftan, etc.
Concerning phrasal verbs, please omit extra parts. Examples (extra parts are in brackets): [be pâyân] bordan, [mowrede enteqâd] qarâr dâdan, [bar ohde] gereftan, etc.
What you get depends on what you input. The program can't correct your mis-transliterations.
How to extend verblist
The verblist isn't complete yet. The past tenses are made directly from the infinitive so you always get conjugation provided that you have entered infinitive form. But for present tenses, the present stem must be already in the verblist. If you saw hyphen (-) as conjugation, it means that the verb isn't in the list. In this case, please send me that verb to add it to my list. Although, it's less probable for beginners to came across such a situation. By the way, I update verblist as I remember a new verb. In "verbs.csv" file, you can see the verblist that program uses to conjugate your verbs. CSV files can be opened with Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet programs. If you don't have such programs, open it with a text editor like Notepad, EditPlus, UltraEdit, etc. So, if you have a verb that isn't already in the verblist:
- If you have Microsoft Excel: open "verbs.csv", go to a new row, write infinitive in the first column and present root in the second. Then select the two columns and sort them ascending and finally save the modified file.
- If you have a text editor: open "verbs.csv", go to the end of file, add a new line and insert the verb in the this pattern: infinitive,present root. Finally, save the modified file.
Note: If you have modified verblist while the program has been running, hit "Reload Verblist" button in order that program can update its current verblist.
How to export conjugation
The program can export conjugation to an HTML file so that you can keep conjugation for yourself e.g. for later reference. To export, hit "Save Conjugation" button.
