Euskara/Basque: Progressive tense of ... + egin verbs

[Riverplatense]

Hello to all,
Egunon guztioi,

I have a question concerning verbs like irribarre egin, lo egin or musu eman: Their perfect form is verb + auxiliary verb + 2nd auxiliary verb in present tense indicative: Gaur lo egin dut etc. But what about the present simple tense? How would I say I sleep? I kiss? Which part of the syntagma gets the aspectual desinence?

Thank you!

The first word is not a verb but a noun: lo (sleep), irribarre (smile). To form the present simple, they add the ending
-tzen/-ten (depending on the verb) to the root of the main verb (egi - egiten):

Nik lo egiten dut
Donostian lan egiten dute (They work in Donostia)

To form the future, they add the ending -ko/-go to the past participle, the main form (egin - egingo). Note that verbs ending in -n add -go.

Nik irribarre egingo dizut (I will smile at you)
