Ige: Dezidérativ Mode - Past and No-past Tenses

Salve!

That's our third lesson on verbs, where we'll learn about the desiderative mode. The post title stands for Verbs: Desiderative Mode - Past and No-past Tenses. In the last post we learned about the past tense -- in Szion, péstu --, finishing our learning on Indicative mode.

Desiderative mode is quite simple: just add the na suffix to the corresponding form in the Indicative.
