Molisan/Verbs/Avé

< Molisan‎ | Verbs

Avé, (vierbe / verb / verbo):

  • to have
  • avere

Usage Note edit

This verb is the most commonly used auxiliary (along with èsse). It is not directly synonomous to the Italian verb avere in other cases. Rather, the verb tené is used. Avé is never used as a main verb, it only exists as a "helping verb". It is often marked with a silent initial 'h' as in Italian. It is also an essential part of the verb avé da (dovere, to need to).
