-gli
- (enclitic)alternative form ofgli
- dare(“to give”) →dargli(“to give him; to give them”)
- vendere(“to sell”) →vendergli(“to sell to him; to sell to them”)
- servire(“to serve”) →servirgli(“to serve to him; to serve to them”)
- Appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive dative forms when the object is third singular masculine or third plural person. The final -e of the original infinitive is removed :
- -are →-argli
- -ere →-ergli
- -ire →-irgli
Where the verb ends in-rre, the finalre is removed, leaving behind just an-r:
- introdurre(“to introduce; to insert”) →introdurgli(“to insert in him; to insert in them”)
In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a singler and no vowels immediately before-gli.
