esan
Basque
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- erran (Northern)
Etymology
[edit]Unknown, the variant erran seems to point to an original form with an alien cluster with two different outcomes such as *esran. The synthetic forms belong to an unrelated verb with the stem -io-. Since this verb lacks non-finite forms, its forms are often given as the synthetic conjugation of esan and erran.
Pronunciation
[edit]Audio: (file)
Verb
[edit]esan du/dio (imperfect participle esaten, future participle esango, short form esan, verbal noun esate) (Southern)
Usage notes
[edit]Some of the synthetic forms are archaic, so more often periphrastic will be used instead. For example, instead of
- Zer ziotsun? ― What did he/she tell you?
the periphrastic form
- Zer esan zizun? ― What did he/she tell you?
is more commonly used.
