esan
Basque[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- erran (Northern)
Etymology[edit]
Unknown, the variant erran seems to point to an original form with an alien cluster with two different outcomes such as *esran. The synthetic forms belong to an unrelated verb with the stem -io-. Since this verb lacks non-finite forms, its forms are often given as the synthetic conjugation of esan and erran.
Pronunciation[edit]

Verb[edit]
esan du/dio (imperfect participle esaten, future participle esango, short form esan, verbal noun esate) (Southern)
Usage notes[edit]
Some of the synthetic forms are archaic, so more often periphrastic will be used instead. For example, instead of
- Zer ziotsun? ― What did he/she tell you?
the periphrastic form
- Zer esan zizun? ― What did he/she tell you?
is more commonly used.
