Would you like infinitives, pasts and imperatives too?

At the moment, I'm just interested in infinitives and the present tense. I'll post a reply here when I want to collect the information in other tenses.
Thank you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

@ elvisrules:
What are the infinitives for all the verbs in the various dialects that you posted earlier? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Infinitives
Flemish tussentaal: zijn West Flemish - Bruges: zien West Flemish - Ieper: zyn Limburgish - Venloos, Remunjs: zeen Limburgish - Maastricht: zien Afrikaans: wees Zeelandic: weze(n) plus another two dialects: Zeelandic Ik bin(ne) Jie bin(ne) Ie is Ons bin Julder bin Ulder bin West Flemish - French Flemish zyn Ik zyn Je zyt Hen/Ze is Me/Myder zyn Je/Jyder zyt Ze/Zyder zyn These dialectal spellings are not great though because they can still vary a lot. For French Flemish for example, "zyn" could easily be spelt "zen", "zin", "zien", etc. The subject could also be different such as Jyder, Gyder, etc. IPA wouldn't really help here either. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Antwerpian and is probably the same (phonemically) in most Brabantic (in Flanders) dialects:
ik zèn/zijn (always the shorted vowel of ij) gij zè[d]/zij[d] (idem; and it's phonemically a d, not a t, which also holds true for all other Flemish dialects posted above, and it's etymologically true for standard Dutch too, although I don't know if there are any traces of it still in its current spoken form) hij is -- wVle zèn/zijn (only the same as the form of ik by athematic verbs) gVle zè[d]/zij[d] (always the same as the form of gij) zVle zèn/zijn (always the same as the form of wVle) (the vowel of the plural pronouns shows a lot variation, most commonly a shortened ij or ou or a short ö or u; in Antwerp city they have quite recently replaced wVle by "wij" and "zVle" by "zun", which is supposedly formed ze + hun (they + them/their)) [d] is pronounced as a d before vowels and is completely omitted before consonants, following the normal assimilation pattern for a d or t following another d or t, it turns a following d into a t: "gij zed den beste(n)" => gij zettəm bestə. This omitting only happens by athematic verbs. By other verbs with a stem ending in a voiced sound the d is never omitted but behaves the same for the rest. For example "gij klaagD altijd", but "gij klaaCHT-CHij veul". After voiceless sounds, the ending has become -t (analogous to the weak perfect tense -te(n) as opposed to -de(n) after voiced sounds. The infinitive is always the same as the wVle/zVle form - in all(?) Dutch dialects the infinitive is always the same as the 1st and 3rd person plural. In standard Dutch even the second person plural has adjusted to the other two Should it interest you, the neuter 3rd person singular pronoun is generally [ət] (spelled "het") or [t] (spelled "'t") in Dutch... Elvis seems to have left that out, although he made a nice job researching the feminine and masculine forms above 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

ik zijn/ben/bin
gij zij(d) jij/zij/et es/is wulder zijn gulder zij(d) zulder zijn In East Flemish the ending -d (or -t) is always ommited when a consonant follows it, is pronounced normally before a vowel and as a t before a pause --- West-Flemish (see above), and perhaps East-Flemish(?), often has the forms es and e(s) (where the s is only pronounced before vowels (which voice it to a [z])) instead of is. For example: Ja't, 't è' goe [jɑət tæxu:] (literally "yes (it), it's good")... As far as I know, i(s) [ɛ(z)] doesn't exist, though. --- Because of East-Flemish repeating pronouns until lol, you might sometimes hear that it's "wulder zijme", not "wulder zijn", but that's just "wulder zijn me".. For example in this song quote: We zijn me nu al drij j'r t'hôpe, en 't ga precies nog goe (~We've been together for three years now and it is like still going well) Edited by Grytolle on 29 December 2009 at 2:34am 3 persons have voted this message useful |
