May (be allowed to) = oleh
Can (be able to) = bisa
Can (be allowed to) = oleh
Kêna = borderline between be allowed to and shall
Shall (obligation, need) = kudu
Shall (obligation, future) = bakale
Should (suggestion, ought to) = kudune
Must (have to) = kudu
Must (be supposed to) = kudune
Must be (conviction) = mêsthi
Dare (I dare + action) = wani
Dare (to dare someone) = anantang

Used to = kulina biyen
Used to be = biyene
Be used to (be accustomed to) = wis kulina
Be going to = arêp
Be about to (future) = ameh

Javanese Base-Word Conjugation Outline


Javanese has a system where everything is formed from a baseword and the derivative words are the ones used in the sentences. And sometimes, the first derivative word can be a second baseword itself and forms many second derivative words, and so on. This is why, understanding both the outline and the detail of this system is the key of understanding how Javanese works and how to use it productively. Every baseword class can form all derivative word classes. But, keep in mind that different baseword classes behave differently on the affix used. Hence, in the detailed explanation in the different blog article, we will see how to use correct affixes to produce derivative words we need from the baseword we have.

Now, we will see an example of the conjugation of a sample baseword into its derivatives.

Baseword
Jupuk (transitive verb class)

Derivatives:

Commands (Imperatives):
Jupuk
Añjupuka
Jupukên
Jupukana
Jupukna

Irrealis:
Añjupuka

Dwiowah:
Jujupuk
Jupuk-jupuk

Active verbs:
Añjupuk
Añjupuki
Añjupukake

Passive I verbs (actor):
Dijupuk
Dijupuki
Dijupukake

Passive II verbs (unknown actor):
Kajupuk
Kajupukan
Kajupukake

Adjectives:
Ajupuk
Ajupukan
Jupukjati
Tanjupuk
Añjupukên
Kañjupukên
Kamijupukên
Kumajupuk
Kapijupuk

Adverbs:
Kanthi + Adjectives

Nouns:
Jupukan
Pajupuk
Pijupuk
Pañjupuk
Piñjupuk
Pajupukan
Pinijupuk

Old constructions:
Jumupuk
Jinupuk
Jinujupukan
Jupuk-jinupuk
Pakajupuk
Makajupuk
Pinakajupuk

Others:
Orajupuk (angorajupuk, etc.)
Balijupuk (ambalijupuk, etc.)
Orabalijupuk (angorabalijupuk, etc.)
Bisajupuk (angbisajupuk, etc.)
Orabisajupuk (angorabisajupuk, etc.)

Note:
1) Some affixes like pra- is not displayed because it usually creates a whole new baseword with different meaning. Unless, for Pra + numbers.
2) Affixes like pra-an is limited in use. Thus, it can not be used in just every baseword.
3) Javanese has 3 grammatical Moods: Imperative, Irrealis, and Indicative. Irrealis can be used for subjunctive, etc.
4) Dwiowah words are always second basewords. So, they will have their own (second) derivatives as well.
5) Old Constructions are derivatives using old or archaic affixes. They are still in use from time to time.

This way, we can see through mapping how many derivatives can be formed by a baseword both generally and for each specific class. And, we can understand how important baseword-affix system in Javanese is, and what we need to form derivatives we would like to use each time through this system.
