+
+Participles words that are **made from verbs** but **act as a noun or adjective**.
+
+<div className="text-center">
+    <img className="img-fluid mb-4" src={participleMeme} alt="participle meme" style={{ margin: "0 auto" }} />
+</div>
+
+There are 3 types of participles.
+
+1. Root/Infinitive  
+2. <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "-ونکی", f: "-oonkey" }} /> suffix   
+3. Past Participle
+
+## Root/Infinitive
+
+This is the easiest to make. It's just the <Link to="/verbs/roots-and-stems/">imperfective root</Link>, which is the infinitive or "dictionary form" of a verb. For example, for the verb <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "لیکل", f: "leekúl", e: "to write" }} />, it's... <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "لیکل", f: "leekúl" }} />. That's right, it looks exactly the same, but when it's a participle it functions as a **3rd person plural noun** in the sentence.
+
+Here's an example where we use <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "لیکل", f: "leekúl" }} /> to describe *the activity or action* of writing. And, as with all these kind of participles, it functions as a **3rd person plural noun**.
+
+<Examples opts={opts}>{psmd([
+    {
+        p: "**لیکل** ښه دي",
+        f: "**leekul** xu dee",
+        e: "**Writing** is good",
+    },
+])}</Examples>
+
+These kinds of participles are used like the "-ing" present particple in English, or like the "to be" infinitives in English.
+
+<Examples opts={opts}>{psmd([
+    {
+        p: "زه **لیکل** غواړم",
+        f: "zu **leekul** ghwaaRum",
+        e: "I want **to write**",
+    },
+])}</Examples>
+
+### Inflecting the Root/Infinitive Participle
+
+Just like with other nouns, these participles will <Link to="/inflection/inflection-intro/">inflect</Link> when:
+
+1. They're in a <Link to="/sandwiches/sandwiches/">sandwich</Link>
+2. They're the subject of a past tense transitive verb
+
+And just like with other plural nouns, they are inflected by adding an <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "و", f: "o" }} /> on the end.
+
+#### 1. Inflecting in a sandwich
+
+<Examples opts={opts}>{psmd([
+    {
+        p: "**د لیکلو لپاره** څه نشته",
+        f: "**du leekulo lapaara** tsu nushta",
+        e: "There's nothing to write",
+    },
+    {
+        p: "زه **د پاڅېدلو** توان نه لرم",
+        f: "zu **du patsedulo** twaan nu larum", 
+        e: "I don't have the strength to get up",
+    }
+])}</Examples>
+
+#### 2. Inflecting as a subject of a past tense transitive verb
+
+Since these particples are nouns, they can also be the subject of a sentance. For example:
+
+<Examples opts={opts}>{psmd([
+    {
+        p: "**لیکل** ما ستړی کوي",
+        f: "**leekul** maa stuRey kawee.",
+        e: "Writing makes me tired",
+        sub: "subject of a present tense transitive verb (not inflected)"
+    },
+    {
+        p: "**لیکلو** زه ستړی کړم",
+        f: "**leekulo** zu stuRey kRum",
+        e: "**Writing** made me tired",
+        sub: "subject of a past tense transitive verb (inflected)"
+    },
+])}</Examples>
+
+## <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ونکی", f: "oonkey" }} /> suffix
+
+This type of participle is formed by adding <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ونکی", f: "oonkey" }} /> to the end of the short version of the <Link to="/verbs/roots-and-stems/">imperfective root</Link> of a verb.
+
+### As an adjective
+
+This form can be used to transform verbs into adjectives. For example, from the verb <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دردول", f: "dardawul", e: "to hurt, cause pain/sadness" }} />, we can add the <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ونکی", f: "óonkey" }} /> suffix and get the adjective <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دردونکی", f: "dardawóonkey", e: "sad/painful" }} />. 
+
+These "adjectives" will <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/#2-words-ending-in-an-unstressed-inlineps-optsopts-ps-p-ی-f-ey--">inflect just like any other adjectives ending with an unstressed <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ی", f: "ey" }} /></Link>.
+
+<Examples opts={opts}>{psmd([
+    {
+        p: "دا یوه **دردونکې** کیسه ده",
+        f: "daa yawa **dardawóonke** keesa da",
+        e: "That's a sad story",
+        sub: "(fem. sing.)"
+    },
+    {
+        p: "دا یو **دردونکی** ناول دی",
+        f: "daa yo **dardawóonkey** naawul dey",
+        e: "That's a sad novel",
+        sub: "(masc. sing.)"
+    },
+    {
+        p: "دا **دردونکي** ناولونه دي",
+        f: "daa **dardawóonkee** naawuloona dee",
+        e: "Those are sad novels",
+        sub: "(masc. plural.)"
+    },
+])}</Examples>
+
+### As an agent noun
+
+This suffix can also be used to make verbs into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_noun#:~:text=In%20linguistics%2C%20an%20agent%20noun,from%20the%20verb%20%22drive%22.">agent nouns</a>. This is like how in English we use "-er" or "-or" suffixes to make nouns like "worker", "player", "cutter", "gamer".
