Maltese verbs

No infinitive. Stem is third person singular, masculine perfect tense.

Second verb infinitive does not exist, instead both verbs are conjugated. "I want to eat" = "I want I eat"

A verbal stem can consist of:

1. Three consonants (radicals) with the medial radical between one of six vowel combinations.
   • kiteb
2. Four consonants, some having two repeated biradical bases.
