Verbs that have many irregular forms Edit
Main irregular verbs Edit
In addition to the auxiliary verbs, there is a small series of verbs that have many irregular forms. They are fà, andà, dà, stà, trà, savé, volé, podé, dì, dové (here written in Milanese dialect, but what is said stands for all dialects)[1]. For consultation of the conjugations, see Lombard language wikitionary:
► conjugation of "fà"
► conjugation of "andà"
► conjugation of "dà"
► conjugation of "trà"
► conjugation of "stà"
► conjugation of "savé"
► conjugation of "podé"
► conjugation of "dì"
► conjugation of "dové"
It should be noted that despite their irregularities, the way for conjugating "fà", "trà", "dà", "stà" is similar.
Note Edit
- ↑ The verb dové is used very rarely, and usually due to the influence of Italian language. In Lombard it is generally replaced by the construction havégh de + infinitive (similar to the English to have to + infinitive)
Verbs ending in -ù and in -oeu Edit
Two series of irregular verbs should also be noted which, however, can be considered regular with small precautions, they are:
- Verbs ending in -ù (prodù, tradù, dedù...); they can be considered regular (except for the past participles in some dialects and obviously in the infinitive, see next paragraph) by adding an "s" i.e. they are conjugated as if their infinitive were produser, traduser, or a "c" for the formation of past participles in the dialects where this is regular (for example the Bergamasque dialect in which the past participle of prodù is producid).
- Verbs ending in -oeu (toeu, distoeu...) can be considered regular (except for the past participles in some dialects and obviously the infinitive , see next paragraph) if you add a "v" (or a "g" depending on the dialect) i.e. they are conjugated as if their infinitive were toeuver, distoeuver. ..
Verbs ending in -egnì/-egn Edit
The verbs with this ending, in addition to the possible irregularity in the past participle (see the following paragraphs), present a small irregularity in different dialects in the voices of the present indicative without desinence, i.e. only the 3rd singular in Western Lombard and the 3rd singular, the 1st and 3rd plural in Eastern Lombard. This irregularity consists in ending with -n instead of -gn.
For example:
in Milanese dialect: verb "tegnì"
Present indicative: mi tegni; ti te tegnet, lù el ten, num tegnom, vialter tegnii, lor (i) tegnen.
in Bergamasque dialect: verb "tegn"
Present indicative: mi tegne; ti te tegnet, lù el ten, noter am ten, voter tegnii, lor ten.
then for the rules of pronunciation in Bergamasque dialect the non-doubled final "n" is not pronounced.
Irregularity due to the apophony Edit
Another predictable irregularity is the apophony, it consists in the transformation of "o" into "oeu" in Western Lombard or "u" into "oeu" in eastern Lombard for certain verb forms. Only the example of the verb "vorè" (usually written "volé" in standard NOL considering the "r" as a result of the rhotacism of the "l") in Milanese dialect is shown here although apophony is present in many disyllabic verbs that have "o" in the infinitive (or "u" in Eastern Lombard) not linked to a consonant on the penultimate syllable (before the consonant "v", "r"/"l", "g" or "d") such as "trovà", "mojà", "drovà" etc...
Present indicative | Imperfect indicative | Simple future indicative | Present subjunctive | Imperfect subjunctive | Present conditional | Present imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mi | voeuri | vorevi | voraroo | voeura | voressi | voraria/vorariss/vorarissi | - |
Ti te | voeuret | vorevet | voraree(t) | voeuret | voresset | vorariet/vorarisset | voeur! |
Lu el /lee la | voeur | voreva | vorarà | voeura | voress | voraria/vorariss | voeura! |
Nun | voeurom | vorevom | vorarèm | voeurom | voressom | vorariom/vorarissom | vorèm! |
Vialter | vorii | vorevov | vorarii | vorii | vorèssov | vorariov/vorarissov | voree! |
Lor (i) | voeuren | voreven | vorarànn | voeuren | vorèssen | vorarien/vorarissen | voeuren! |
infinitive | gerund | participle |
---|---|---|
voré | vorend(o) | vorud |
There is another exact opposite apophony, specular to the previous one, that of the transformation of "oeu" into "o" in Western Lombard or "oeu" into "u" in Eastern Lombard for the verbs of the third conjugation such as "moeuver", "scoeuder ", "noeuser" and also "toeu" which, as mentioned, is conjugated as if it were "toeuver"....
Present indicative | Imperfect indicative | Simple future indicative | Present subjunctive | Imperfect subjunctive | Present conditional | Present imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mi | moeuvi | movevi | movaroo | moeuva | movessi | movaria /movarissi | - |
Ti te | moeuvet | movevet | movaree(t) | moeuvet | movesset | movariet / movarisset | moeuv! |
Lu el /lee la | moeuv | moveva | movarà | moeuva | movess | movaria/movariss | moeuva! |
Nun | moeuvom | movevom | movarèm | moeuvom | movessom | movariom/movarissom | movèm! |
Vialter | movii | movevov | movarii | movii/moeuvov | movessov | movariov/movarissov | movì! |
Lor (i) | moeuven | moveven | movarann | moeuven | movessen | movarien/movarissen | moeuven! |
infinitive | gerund | participle |
---|---|---|
moeuver | movend(o) | movud |
The apophonies are different between western Lombard (of which a representative example is the Milanese dialect) and eastern Lombard since le conjugations of verbs in eastern Lombard are different, however their collocation is intuitive , following the example of the Milanese dialect just shown.
Verbs that are irregular only in the past participle Edit
Many verbs are regular in all forms except the past participle. Irregularities in the past participle are more prevalent in the Milanese dialect than in the other dialects, while Eastern Lombard dialects have the least amount of irregularities in the past participles. Irregular verbs in past participles can be grouped into groups with similar irregularities, so we can observe how irregular participles present a rule in their irregularity. Listed below are some irregular verbs divided into groups. The subdivision into groups based on the ending can help in understanding by analogy how a past participle of a verb not listed in the tables below can be made.

Defective verbs that have only the past participle Edit
There are some verbs in Lombardy that exist only in the form of Past participle, most of them have been introduced only in the Dialects more italianized, especially Milanese, under the thrust of the Italian language. Therefore, it is possible to construct only the compound tenses of these verbs, while in the simple tenses it is necessary to use other verbs.
