be) present on the endings. Thus, they act like a bridge that provide number and gender agreement between verb and subject (some languages, like Hebrew or Basque may show number/gender agreement on verbal endings). Thus, although some traditional grammars consider subject clitics as "redundant" or "pleonastic" elements, Venetian subject clitics are neither redundant nor pleonastic. The clitics are the same in whole Veneto with two exceptions: te becomes ti in Venice (but is different from emphatic TI!) and becomes tu in some bellunese areas. El becomes Al in bellunese. 2nd singular person present indicative of "magnar" Venetian in Venice: (TI) ti magni (lit." (You) you eat") Venetian in Padua-Vicenza-Rovigo-Verona: (TI) te magni (=lit. "(You) you eat") Venetian in Treviso-Belluno: (TI) te magna (=lit. "(You) you eat") 2nd singular person imperf. indicative of "magnar" Venetian in Venice: (TI) ti magnavi (lit. "(You) you used to eat") Venetian in Pad-Vic-Rov-Ver: (TI) te magnavi (lit. "(You) you used to eat") Venetian in Treviso-Belluno: (TI) te/tu magnava/magnéa (lit. "(You) you used to eat") 2nd singular person present indicative of "sentir" Venetian in Venice-Verona: (TI) te/ti senti (lit. "(You) you hear/you feel") Venetian in Vic-Pad-Rov: (TI) te sinti (lit. "(You) you hear/you feel") Venetian in Treviso: (TI) te sente (lit. "(You) you hear/you feel") Venetian in Belluno: (TI) te/tu sent (lit. "(You) you hear/you feel") 3rd singular person present indicative of "sentir" Venetian Ven-Ver-Vic-Pad-Rov: (EL CAN) el sente (lit. "(The dog) he hears/he feels") Venetian Trev-Bell: (EL CAN) el/al sent (lit. "(The dog) he hears/he feels") Such variations in last and internal vowels do not block reciprocal comprehension between people in Veneto because what is felt as important to mark the verb is the clitic ("te, el"). Also general Venetian forms exist with no endings: Venetian (in whole Veneto): te vien / ti vien ("you come") Venetian (in whole Veneto): el vien (lit. "he come" as there was no -s) Venetian (in whole Veneto): i vien ("they come") Note that when the subject is postverbal (motion verbs, unaccusative verbs) the clitic is banned and the past participle of compound forms (if any) is invariably masc.singular, yielding a semi-impersonal form which does not exist in Italian: Normal form Italian: Le mie sorelle sono arrivate ("[as for] My sisters have arrived-f.pl.") Venetian: Mé sorełe łe xe/è rivàe (lit."[as for] My sisters they-cl.f.pl. have arrived-f.pl.") Impersonal form (only in Venetian) Italian: Sono arrivate le mie sorelle (hey, the
