[edit]Etymology
[edit]The verb as a whole derives from forms of the Latin habeō, habēre. The first-person present singular form am(u), along with some other inflected forms, may have been analogical constructions (in this case, from an old form (aemu) of first-person plural (now avem)), or influenced by nearby languages. Compare Romanian avea, am; cf. also Albanian kam (“to have”). The third-person singular present indicative, ari, may have derived from Latin haberet.
Verb
[edit]am first-singular present indicative (third-person singular present indicative ari or are, imperfect aveam, simple perfect avui, past participle avutã)

[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Inflected form of avea. Probably an analogical construction based on the old first-person plural or perhaps influenced by similar forms in other languages.[1] Compare Aromanian am(u); cf. also Albanian kam (“I have”).
Verb
[edit]am
- first-person singular present indicative of avea
- (I) have
- first-person singular present subjunctive of avea
Etymology 2
[edit]From old Romanian amu, presumably from an earlier (proto-) Romanian form aemu (attested in Aromanian), from Latin habēmus. The original first-person singular in proto-Romanian was aibu, from Latin habeō, but was changed to am(u) by analogy with the first-person plural. The form with -v- (avem) in the present form of the verb's main conjugation (as opposed to its use in this form as an auxiliary verb) may have been remade by analogy with avut;[2] am may also be seen as a reduced, clitic form of avem.[3] See also ați, which has a parallel development.
Verb
[edit]am
- (eu) am (modal auxiliary, first-person singular form of avea, used with past participles to form perfect compus tenses)
- (I) have...
- (I) have...
- (noi) am (modal auxiliary, first-person plural form of avea, used with past participles to form perfect compus tenses)
- (we) have...
