In Rromani, specific grammatical features distinguish borrowed nouns (see padmad 15, topic 2) from inherited nouns. Similarly, borrowed verbs may be identified by means of their grammatical form, namely the component between the loan-stem and the personal ending: -in- after a verbal borrowing, -on- after a borrowed noun. The set of their grammatical forms is basically as follows in the O-bi dialect):
- with a verbal borrowing (example prandinel to marry [smb to smb else]):
|
|
active voice
|
verbal pivot
|
pass-refl. voice
|
|
present tense
|
prandin + Ēl
|
|
prandinǒv + Ēl
|
|
|
prandime (or more seldom with buxlo type adj. ending)
|
|
|
basic past tense
|
prandind + Ās
|
|
prandinisàjl + Ās*
or
prandisàjl + Ās*
|
- with a borrowed noun (example formonel to form < fòrma form):
|
|
active voice
|
verbal pivot
|
pass-refl. voice
|
|
present tense
|
formon + Ēl
|
|
formonǒv + Ēl
|
|
|
formome (or more seldom with buxlo type adj. ending)
|
|
|
basic past tense
|
formond + Ās
|
|
formonisàjl + Ās*
or
formosàjl + Ās*
|
Other forms appear in other dialects and this part of the vocabulary is very versatile, circulating quickly from one dialect to others – so it is not exceptionel to hera in O-bi loans like formozel, formosarel or formuil, which basically emerged in other dialects.
Today's topic 2 >>
All numerals up to six have been met in the previous padmadǎ. Let us recap and complete the list up to ten:
|
jekh
|
śov
|
|
duj
|
efta
|
|
trin
|
oxto
|
|
śtar
|
enia
|
|
panʒ
|
deś
|
Efta (7), oxto (8) and enia (9) are borrowings from Greek and speakers of European languages know them through general vocabulary – for example octogon.
