komme

Central Franconian

Alternative forms

• kumme (some Ripuarian dialects, including Kölsch)
• kun, kunn, konn (Ripuarian; some Moselle Franconian dialects; chiefly dated)

Etymology

From Old High German kweman, from Proto-Germanic *kwemaną, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷémt. The form is native in Moselle Franconian, but borrowed from German in Ripuarian.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈkomə/

Verb

komme (third-person singular present kennt or kött, past tense kom, past participle komme or jekomme or gekomme)

1. to come

Usage notes

• The present conjugation in Moselle Franconian goes: du kenns, hä kennt, dir kommt.
• The present conjugation in Ripuarian goes: du köss, hä kött, ühr kott. These forms are vestiges of the old infinitive konn, kunn.
