• -du(see usage notes)

FromLatin-tum, a past participle forming suffix. Basque borrowed Latin verbs in their participle form (for example,aditu(“to hear”) fromaudītum, neuter perfect passive participle ofaudiō(“I hear”)), with the ending being reinterpreted as a new verb forming suffix.^[1] CompareEnglish-ate(verb-forming suffix).

-tu

1. A verb-forming suffix.

   ‎euskara(“Basque”) + ‎-tu → ‎euskaratu(“to translate into Basque”)

   ‎ohera(“to, towards bed”) + ‎-tu → ‎oheratu(“to go to bed”)

   ‎gehi(“plus”) + ‎-tu → ‎gehitu(“to add”)

2. Used to formadjectives, roughly corresponding to the English past participle forming suffix-ed.

   ‎gehi(“plus”) + ‎-tu → ‎gehitu(“augmented”)

• Takes the form-du after words ending in/l/ or/n/:

  ‎lagun(“friend”) + ‎-tu → ‎lagundu(“to help”)

• This is the only productive verb-forming suffix in modern Basque, having displaced the native suffix-i.
• Verbs taking this suffix have no synthetic forms (with the exception ofezagutu(“to know”)).

FromProto-Finnic*-t'oin. Cognate withFinnish-ton/-tön.

• þú
• -du,-ðu

-tu(enclitic)

1. enclitic form ofþú
   • Haralds saga hins hárfagra 41.

     Nú tóktu svá við sem várr konungr vildi.

   • Lokasenna 24.

     En þik síða kóðu / Samseyju í / ok draptu á vétt sem vǫlur / vitka líki / fórtu verþjóð yfir / ok hugða ek þat args aðal

   ‎skalt(“shalt”) + ‎þú → ‎skaltu(“shalt thou”)

   ‎lát(“let (impr.)”) + ‎þú → ‎láttu(“let (impr.)”)

For reasons related to syntax, as well as Old Norse often explicitly stating the subject of verbs in the imperative, the verb is often followed by the subject pronoun. Forþú, this is when it may take on an enclitic form. This is not to say, however, that wheneverþú comes after a verb, it will always take an enclitic form. It could well stay separate for the sake of emphasis.

Which one of the variants-du,-ðu and-tu to use, is decided by the same rules that decide which dental suffix to take in the type 1 weak verbs. This form is used after hard consonants.

This feature is also present in modern Icelandic verb conjugation, with its imperative forms with appended personal pronouns (though only in the second person).

• -k

• IPA^(key): /tu/

-tu

1. Form of-tı after the vowels O / U.

   ‎çıt(“click or crack sound”) + ‎-ır + ‎-tı → ‎çıtırtı(“clicking, cracking”)

   ‎mor(“purple”) + ‎-ar(“to turn purple”) + ‎-tı → ‎morartı(“bruise, a purplish spot”)
