of Eastern Lombard verbs is included in the small dictionary edited in 1951 by Stefano Pinelli Non finite Mood Infinitive According to the infinitive form, verbs are classified in two classes: The first class includes the verbs ending in -à: Parlà (to speak) Cantà (to sing) Nà (to go) The second class includes the verbs with the infinitive ending in -ì or -er. Note that almost all the verbs of this second class can present two infinitive forms, one ending in -ì and the other ending in -er. For example: Lizì = Lèzer (to read) Scriì = Scrìer (to write) Patì = Patéser (to suffer) The form in -ì is mandatory when an enclitic pronoun is added: Gó de lizìl (I have to read it) while the form in -er is generally preferred when the infinitive has no enclitic pronouns attached: Gó de lèzer (I have to read) Bergamasque instead alternates the form in -í with a form identical to the 3rd singular of present indicative mood. Gó de lès (I have to read) – compare with: Lü 'l lès el giornàl (he reads the newspaper) therefore the two forms of the infinitive are: Lezì = Lès (to read) Scriì = Scrif (to write) Corì = Cór (to run) Past ParticiplePast participle is used in the compound tenses present perfect and past perfect. The regular past participle is made adding an -t (or -da for feminine in adjective construction and tenses that require gender agreement) after the infinitive form. Verbs of the second class use the form ending in -ì. For example: Parlà + t => Parlàt Cantà + t => Cantàt Scriì + t => Scriìt Patì + t => Patìt Indicative Mood Present Tenses There are two present tenses in Eastern Lombard: A simple present and a present progressive: Simple Present The Simple Present, is conjugated as follows: First class (infinitive in -à: cantà (to sing) ) I sing.: cànte II sing.: càntet III sing.: cànta I plur.: cantóm II plur.: cantìf III plur.: cànta Second class (infinitive in -ì/-er: córer (to run) ) I sing.: córe II sing.: córet III sing.: cór I plur.: coróm II plur.: curìf III plur.: cór The paradigms above are presented without the corresponding pronouns.
