Good News: Lingala Verbs Are Simple!
Unlike French or Spanish, Lingala verb conjugation is remarkably straightforward. Verbs don't change form based on who is performing the action - instead, subject markers (prefixes) carry this information.
Subject Markers
These prefixes attach to verbs to indicate who is performing the action:
Na- - I (Ngai)
O- - You (Yo)
A- - He/She (Ye)
To- - We (Biso)
Bo- - You (plural) (Bino)
Ba- - They (Bango)
