The simple remote form as used below though is barely used, as Pizzonesi usually speak of the future in terms of what they have to do, as originally there were no future tenses (as in I will (be)), and future events were talked about in terms of "being done later" (chiù doppe). -à-ò-e/è-ié-<small-text>CC</small-text>ì-<small-text>AC</small-text>ìij-araja-oraja-eraja-eraja-iraja-irajatu-arié-orié-erié-erié-irié-iriééssa/isse-arà-orà-erà-erà-irà-irànù-aramme-oramme-eramme-eramme-iramme-irammeù-arate-orate-erate-erate-irate-irateisse/chile-aranne-oranne-eranne-eranne-iranne-iranne Irregular verbs This is a list of the most important irregular nouns in Pizzonese, in the present tense.
