Irregular verbs include the following groups:
- preterite-present verbs, which have past endings of strong verbs in the present and past endings of weak verbs in the past (most of them are modal verbs);
- irregular verb viljen 'to want', which has future endings in the present;
- irregular verb visen 'to be', which has its own set of endings
The inflectional paradigm of the preterite-present verbs is as follows (e.g. the verb viten 'to know'):
The following verbs belong to the preterite-present group:
kunnen 'can' (Present: singular kann-, plural kunnu, Past: singular kunda, plural kunnedu)
magen 'may' (Present: singular mag-, plural magu, Past: singular maxta, plural maxtedu)
viten 'to know' (Present: singular vait- (þu vaist), plural vitu, Past: singular vissa, plural vissedu)
þorben 'to need' (Present: singular þarb (þu þarft), plural þorbu, Past: singular þarfta, plural þarftedu)
sxulen 'should' (Present: singular sxal, plural sxulu, Past: singular sxulda, plural sxuledu)
gadorsen 'to dare' (Present: singular gadars, plural gadorsu, Past: singular gadorsta, plural gadorsedu)
aigen 'to have' (Present: singular aig, plural aigu, Past: singular exta, plural extedu)
There are also two words that used to be preterite-present verbs, but became unchangeable in the modern language: mot 'must' and doug 'to be able'. They descend from the old verbs *motan and *dugan, but today their usage is that of adjectives, e.g. is vas mot it touen 'he should have done it', is vas doug it touen 'he was able to do it'.
The verb viljen 'to want' has the same endings as the preterite-present verbs with the exception of the present tense, where it uses the 'normal' future endings:
As for the verb visen 'to be', it has its own paradigm, quite different from that of the rest of verbs.
