Comments

  • Only the first person singular is given for the present subjunctive, the future and the conditional, and the first and the second persons singular for the imperfect subjunctive. As the author points out, in some tenses the forms from ESSE (ˈeser) and those from SAPERE (saˈviː/saˈver) are interchangeable. They fully coincide in the future and in the conditional. For the other persons of the present subjunctive, see the corresponding additional forms in the paradigm of ESSE.
