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. |

Though not in Zeelandic according to what I've read? (Or Afrikaans either for that matter)
And in one of the Limburgish dialects, their Wikipedia lists the plural forms as ending in -t and the infinitive in -n.

Oh right, totally forgot about the saxon dialects in the Netherlands that have all -t in the plural

Swedish:
Jag är - I am
Du är - You are
Han/hon/den/det är - He/she/it is
Vi är - We are
Ni är - You are
De är - They are
The last three pronouns can also be combined with "äro" in old texts (about 60 years ago or earlier), but they are not used any more, except for some songs etc.
