Pronunciation
Audio: (file)
Noun
fio (accusative singular fion, plural fioj, accusative plural fiojn)
Galician
Verb
fio
- (reintegrationist norm) first-person singular present indicative of fiar
Italian
Etymology
From Old French fieu (“fief”), from Frankish *fehu, from Proto-Germanic *fehu, from Proto-Indo-European *péḱu (“livestock”).
Noun
fio m (plural fii)
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *fuiō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”). Compare with fuī, originally the perfect of this verb but now attached to sum (“I am”); and constructions with -bō, -bam (e.g. amābō, placēbō, nocēbō, monēbam, audiēbam).
The past participle is that of the unrelated verb faciō (“I make, do”). In Latin faciō and fīō were treated as the active and passive equivalents of each other, an example of suppletion.
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈfiː.oː/, [ˈfiːoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈfi.o/, [ˈfiːo]
Note: the i in fi- is pronounced long, except when it is followed by er or en.
Verb
fīō (present infinitive fierī, perfect active factus sum); third conjugation, semi-deponent
- passive of faciō
- (copulative) to become, be made
- Vōs ōrāmus ut discipulī ācerrimī fīātis ― We are begging you to become very keen students
- to happen, take place, result, arise
- Synonyms: interveniō, ēveniō, obveniō, expetō, obtingō, incurrō, accēdō, incidō, accidō, intercidō, contingō
- ut fit ― as happens usually/as is customary
- fit ut ― it happens that
- to appear
Usage notes
This verb ousted facior, facī in the sense of “to be made”; see also at its active counterpart faciō.
Conjugation
While it does have a fourth conjugation pattern when conjugated, this verb has an irregular infinitive (fierī), and is therefore third conjugation.
