Seretian modal verbs are those used to compliment other verbs. They always precede the object and second verb, but follow the subject. In most cases, the verb has the suffix -e used (after removing -aidh), however there are some irregular verbs.
tawaidh (want) > tah (or tawe is fine also - although rare)
sájaidh (be able) > sáj (or sáje is fine also)
syrauhaidh (hate/dislike) > syrah (or syrauhe is fine also)
thédhaidh (like) > thé (or thédhe is fine also)
An example showing the modal, the verb phrase, and the subject.
Qou rhah thé iqhua fóbaig.
I do not like to eat bread.
These irregular forms are also often used for the transitive present tense forms also. For example: qou thötid thé instead f qou thötid thédhaig
