There are 5 main verb conjugation types in Finnish language. The verbs are divided into types according to the infinitive ending (the ending of the verb in its basic form) and the way personal endings are attached to the verb. The personal endings with the exception of the 3rd person form (hän/se) are the same for all the verb types. When conjugating a verb, first move the infinitive ending and then add a personal ending.

Examples:
Infinitive       asu-a to live          syö-dä to eat
Stem            asu-                      syö-
Conjugated  asun I live             syön I eat
form

Note
Finnish present verb forms are also used in present continuous and in future tense.
For example the verb form asun can be translated into English as I live, I am living, or I will live depending on context.
