Aparemfato
The Aparemfato (n) ( Greek απαρέμφατο (ν) , literally [number, person] not indicating ) is a grammatical term from the ancient and modern Greek language for an infinite verb form .
- In ancient Greek it denotes the infinitive , e.g. B. λύειν, λῦσαι, λελύσθαι .
- In modern Greek - except in fixed phrases - there is no longer an infinitive; the term aparemfato (in German literature also: unchangeable form ) stands for the infinite verb form that is used together with the auxiliary verb έχω ( haben ) to form the perfect perfect, past perfect and future perfect. These time stages are formed analytically in modern Greek, in contrast to ancient Greek, where the formation was synthetic. Morphologically , the aparemfato is identical to the 3rd person singular of the subjunctive aorist :
- κλαίω cry > aorist έκλαψε he wept > conj. Aor. να κλάψει so that he may cry > Aparemfato κλάψει .
The aparemfato can be formed in the active as well as in the medium or passive :
- Active: έχω γράψει "I wrote", είχα γράψει "I had written", θα έχω γράψει "I will have written"
- Medium / Passive: έχω γραφτεί "I have registered, I am registered", είχα γραφτεί "I had registered, I was registered", θα έχω γραφτεί "I will have registered, I will be registered"
The analytical formation of the perfect by means of auxiliary verb and aparémfato has been documented since the late Middle Ages, the end of the Byzantine period .
