Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., probably from Proto-Uralic [Term?]. Compare Estonian -b.
Suffix
-vi
- An archaic/poetic variant of the standard third-person present.
- 1888, John Martin Crawford, [1]:
- Mieleni minun tekevi, aivoni ajattelevi, lähteäni laulamahan, saa’ani sanelemahan, sukuvirttä suoltamahan, lajivirttä laulamahan.
- Mastered by desire impulsive, by a mighty inward urging, I am ready now for singing, ready to begin the chanting.
Italian
Pronoun
-vi
- enclitic form of vi; appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive reflexive, accusative and dative forms when the object is second plural person
Usage notes
The final -e of the original infinitive is removed :
Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:
- introdurre (“to introduce”) → introdurvi (“to introduce yourselves; to introduce you; to insert in you”)
In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -vi.
