And Romanian shows it just with Latin.And of course the desinences of
the conjugation for the II conjugation in Romanian ( the one where the
verbs ends at infinitive with "-ea") is a simply coincidence that is
_identical_ with the Lithuanian or it shows the Latin influence, doesn't
it?
Lithuanian/Romanian endings for conjugation present tense
1 sg. -u -u
2 sg. -i -i
3 sg. -a -a
1 pl. -ame -am/em
2 pl. -ate -aTi
3 pl. -a -a
with example:
Lithuanian " to work" ( dirbti)
dirb-u
dirb-a
dirb-i
dirb-ame
dirb-ate
dirb-a
Romanian " to want" ( a vrea)
vre-au
vre-i
vre-a
vre-am
vreTi
vrea
For avoinding any question regarding the examples. I don't see dirbti
and a vrea as related. They are just examples and the only one thing
they have in common are teh verbal desinences for the present tense.
