===Verbs===
Verbs in Bislama usually consist of a stem word (borrowed from English, French or indigenous languages); most [[transitive verb]]s add to this a transitive suffix.

The form of that suffix is /-em/, /-im/, or /-um/, depending on [[vowel harmony]]. If the last vowel of the verb's stem is either -u- or -i-, then that vowel will normally be copied into the transitive suffix – however, there are rare exceptions. For all other stem vowels, the transitive suffix has its default form /-em/:<ref>https://www.livelingua.com/course/peace-corps/Bislama_Handbook, p. 71</ref>

Examples of transitive verbs which exceptionally ''don't'' take this suffix include: ''kakae'' 'eat, bite'; ''trink'' 'drink'; ''save'' 'know'; ''se'' 'say'.

Verbs do not conjugate. The [[tense, aspect and mood]] of a sentence are indicated with markers such as ''stap'', ''bin'' and ''bae'' that are placed in the sentence.
