zice
Romanian
Etymology
From Latin dīcere, present active participle of dīcō, from Proto-Italic *deikō, from Proto-Indo-European *déyḱti (“to show, point out”).
Pronunciation
Verb
a zice (third-person singular present zice, past participle zis) 3rd conj.
- to say
Usage notes
Though zice is less commonly used than spune ( synonym ), the imperative form zi is used rather frequently. When used, it usually doesn't accompany a dative pronoun, instead being used alone as zi. Dative pronouns are more commonly used with the imperative spune, e.g: spune-mi, tell me or spune-le, tell them.
