Talk:full infinitive

Definitions

This definition seems a bit narrow. You can find this in the context of other languages like the a-infinitives used in Romanian (see {{ro-verb}}). Also, plural is attestable, just as the plural of (deprecated template usage) infinitive is. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

What I meant by the singulare tantum tag was that (deprecated template usage) full infinitive is the name for the construction (deprecated template usage) to + [bare verb], which only has one form; of course, (deprecated template usage) to eat, (deprecated template usage) to make, and (deprecated template usage) to think are all full infinitives, but that pluralisable use is a different sense (i.e., "A verb construction in the full infinitive."). (That said, I don't see much need to make that distinction explicit in the entry.) If you believe the definition to be too narrow, then please, revise it as you see fit; I am only familiar with the use of (deprecated template usage) full infinitive in English.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 15:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
