That's what it is!

If you don't know, then listen to someone who knows.
Marius merely pointed out many people use forms that
are simply wrong. And they are wrong. That someone has
the... social status of a peasant does not makes him/her
a Moses-like prophet and his/her stammering milestones
in linguistics. (Ist das die Lach- und Schiessgesellschaft? :)

<shucks> You still don't know how these tenses look like and how
they are to be applied. (I posted the endings several times. To
no avail? Just try: "repetitio mater studiorum __est__".)

Do you mean participles such as "zis, dres, tras, dus, trimes/trimis, pus,
spus, expus"? If so, what do you wish to say in connection with the
Romanian morphemes "a fi, fire, fui, fost"? Where is the participle
-s?!

(Oh boy, you dare give such an "explanation" to cybalist's linguists?
Ich fasse es nicht! :)

>am fost, ai fost, a fost, am fost, atsi fost, au fost).
