-ito
Esperanto
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-ito
- See -it-
Italian
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-ito
- used with a stem to form the past participle of regular -ire verbs
Anagrams
[edit]Latin
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From -tō, although the appearance of -i- when affixed to first conjugation verbs has not been explained.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɪ.toː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [i.to] (stressed on antepenult)
Suffix
[edit]-itō (present infinitive -itāre, perfect active -itāvī, supine -itātum); first conjugation
- Forms frequentative verbs from existing verbs or from certain adjectives (notably adjectives of the third declension in -is, -alis, and -bilis/-ibilis)
Usage notes
[edit]Unlike -tō, this suffix is attached to the present stem of the verb. The vowel of the suffix replaces any final vowel of the stem, thus cantā- > cant-itā-. It is often found suffixed to first conjugation verbs, including existing frequentatives in -tō, but some examples from other conjugations also exist, such as agō > agitō.
Conjugation
[edit]1The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
