Italian

Pronoun

-miCategory:Italian lemmas#MICategory:Italian pronouns#MICategory:Italian entries with incorrect language header#MICategory:Pages with entries#MICategory:Pages with 14 entries#MI

  1. (enclitic) alternative form of mi
    dare (“to give”) → darmi (“to give myself; to give me; to give to me”)
    vendere (“to sell”) → vendermi (“to sell myself; to sell me; to sell to me”)
    servire (“to serve”) → servirmi (“to serve myself; to serve me; to serve to me”)

Usage notes

  • Appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive reflexive, accusative or dative forms when the object is first singular person. The final -e of the original infinitive is removed :
-are → -armi
-ere → -ermi
-ire → -irmi

Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:

introdurre (“to introduce”) → introdurmi (“to introduce myself; to introduce me; to insert in me”)

In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -mi.
