This template creates a conjugation table for all types of Latin verbs. It replaces the several {{la-conj-*}}
templates that used to exist.
Basic usage
For basic verbs of conjugation classes 1, 2 and 4, specify them as follows:
- amō (“to love”):
{{la-conj|1+|amō}}
- habeō (“to have”):
{{la-conj|2+|habeō}}
- custōdiō (“to guard”):
{{la-conj|4+|custōdiō}}
- audiō (“to hear”):
{{la-conj|4++|audiō}}
Here, the +
and ++
signs means to use the default principal parts:
- amō, amāre, amāvī, amātum
- habeō, habēre, habuī, habitum
- custōdiō, custōdīre, custōdīvī, custōdītum
- audiō, audīre, audīvī/audiī, audītum
Note the difference between 4+
, which generates a single perfect stem in -īv, and 4++
, which generates two perfect stems in -īv and -i.
For verbs of conjugation classes 3, and more complex verbs of other conjugation classes, you will need to specify the verb class along with the lemma, perfect stem and supine stem, as follows:
For deponent verbs and semi-deponent verbs, only the supine stem is given:
- sequor (“to follow”):
{{la-conj|3|sequor|secūt}}
- gaudeō (“to rejoice”):
{{la-conj|2.semi-depon|gaudeō|gāvīs}}
The conjugation class can optionally be followed by one or more subtypes (as in the above example gaudeō):
- pausō (“to pause”):
{{la-conj|1+.nopass|pausō}}
(no passives exist) - veniō (“to come”):
{{la-conj|4.pass-impers|veniō|vēn|vent}}
(only impersonal passives exist) - placeō (“to please”):
{{la-conj|2+.opt-semi-depon.noimp|placeō}}
(the verb is optionally semi-deponent, i.e. the perfect is either placuī or placitus sum, and there is no imperative)
If there is no perfect, or no supine, just leave the form out:
As shown in the previous example, when you use one of the +
variants, which automatically generate default perfect and supine stems, you can cancel any of the stems using -
.
Impersonal and third-person-only verbs should use the third-person singular as the lemma, except for highly irregular verbs that use the conjugation type irreg
(see below):
- grandinat (“to hail”):
{{la-conj|1.nopass|grandinat}}
- pertaedet (“to disgust, to bore”):
{{la-conj|2.semi-depon|pertaedet|pertaes}}
- decet (“to suit”):
{{la-conj|2.3only.nopass|decet|decu}}
If the third-person singular is provided as the lemma, it is assumed to be impersonal. If the verb is third-person-only (i.e. it has both third-person singular and plural, but no other forms), use the subtype .3only
.
Parameters
The following parameters are allowed:
|1=
: Conjugation type, along with any subtypes.|2=
: Lemma with macrons; may include links.|3=
: Perfect stem (or supine stem if the verb is deponent or semi-deponent). Separate multiple stems with a slash.|4=
: Supine stem, for verbs that aren't deponent or semi-deponent. Separate multiple stems with a slash.|prefix=
: Prefix to add to all forms (or to non-passive forms if|passive_prefix=
is given); may include links.|passive_prefix=
: Prefix to add to passive forms; may include links.|suffix=
: Suffix to add to all forms (or to non-passive forms if|passive_suffix=
is given); may include links.|passive_suffix=
: Suffix to add to passive forms; may include links.
Examples of using the prefix and suffix parameters:
- acū pingō (“to tattoo”):
{{la-conj|prefix=[[acus|acū]]|3|pingō|pīnx|pict}}
- dūcō uxōrem (“to marry”):
{{la-conj|irreg|dūcō|suffix=[[uxor|uxōrem]]|passive_suffix=[[uxor]]}}
In addition, any individual form can be overridden, e.g. using |1s_pres_actv_indc=
to override the first-singular present active indicative. See #Overriding individual forms.

: Perfect forms have present meaning. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing present stem and Category:Latin verbs with perfect forms having imperfective meanings.
Irregular verbs
Certain irregular verbs are handled specially, and should use the conjugation type irreg
, e.g.:
- faciō:
{{la-conj|irreg|faciō}}
- pereō:
{{la-conj|irreg|pereō}}
- libet:
{{la-conj|irreg|libet}}
- subsum:
{{la-conj|irreg|subsum}}
- prōferō:
{{la-conj|irreg|prōferō}}
As shown above, compounds of irregular verbs are handled properly.
Some compounds of sum and ferō are more complex because the various forms of the base verb begin with different letters, and the prefix assumes different forms before those different letters. These are handled through extra parameters:
- prōsum:
{{la-conj|irreg|prōsum|prōd|prō}}
- assum:
{{la-conj|irreg|assum|ad|af}}
- afferō:
{{la-conj|irreg|afferō|at|al}}
- cōnferō:
{{la-conj|irreg|cōnferō|con|col}}
For sum, the third parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with e-, and the fourth parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with f-. For ferō, the third parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with t- (the perfect), and the fourth parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with l- (the supine). In all cases, an omitted parameter defaults to the prefix found in the lemma.
In the event a compound of an irregular verb is used impersonally, use the conjugation type irreg.impers
.
The following is the current list of recognized irregular verbs:
- āiō, aiiō
- dīcō
- dūcō
- faciō
- fīō
- ferō
- inquam
- libet
- lubet
- licet
- volō
- mālō
- nōlō
- possum
- piget
- coepī
- sum
- edō
- dō
- eō
Overriding individual forms
In very rare cases it may be necessary to override individual forms of verbs. This is done using individual parameters for each form. See the following examples:
- For finite forms,
|1s_pres_actv_indc=
– person (1/2/3), number (s/p), tense (pres/impf/futr/perf/plup/futp/sigf/siga), voice (actv/pasv), mood (indc/subj/impr) - For participles and infinitives,
|perf_actv_ptc=
– tense, voice, form (ptc/inf) - For gerunds and supines,
|ger_gen=
– form (ger/sup), case (gen/dat/acc/abl)
If multiple forms are possible, separate the forms by a forward slash: |3s_impf_actv_subj=coesset/cōnforet
