Regular Strong Verbs (RSV's) are very common in Traditional and Modern Golic Vulcan. Like other Golic verbs, they are very simple to use, having the same form for all persons in present tense. There are no separate transitive or intransitive forms in Traditional and Modern Golic Vulcan. Unlike Weak Verbs and Irregular Strong Verbs, the RSV's have a different ending in simple past tense.

In this lesson we will be discussing only the present tense of RSV's. Later lessons will cover past and future forms of verbs. Below is an example of a present tense RSV:

Kitau = to write

Kitau nash-veh = I write
Kitau du = you (singular) write
Kitau sa-veh = he writes
Kitau ko-veh = she writes
Kitau ish-veh = it writes
Kitau etek = we write
Kitau dular = you (plural) write
Kitau au = they write
