For kteb = to write:
ana kankteb — I write / I am writing
nta katkteb — you write / you are writing
hoa kaykteb — he writes / he is writing
hia katkteb — she writes / she is writing
7na kanketbou — we write / we are writing
ntouma katketbou — you (plural) write / are writing
houma kayketbou — they write / are writing
Rule
Present prefixes:
ana → kan-
nta/nti/hia → kat-
hoa/houma → kay-
7na → kan-
ntouma → kat-
And yes, just like we discussed: the same present conjugation can mean both simple present and continuous, depending on context.
So ana kankteb can mean “I write” or “I am writing.”
