Dare - to give

Dare

Do, dedi, datus, dare (1) to give.

Particularities: The vowel -a- is short in the forms of the present stem, except for 2 p. sg. of the Present indicative and imperative: dâs and dâ. It is the only verb of the I conjugations that makes its perfect stem by reduplication: da- : ded-.

Forms: The present active subjunctive has three parallel series of identical meaning:

		*Present Active Subjunctive*
		*I variiant*	*II variiant*	*III variiant*
*Sg.*	1. 2. 3.	dem des det	duim duis duit	duam duas duat
*Pl.*	1. 2. 3.	demus detis dent	duimus duitis duint	duamus duatis duant

The forms cedo (2 p. sg.) give here! bring here! and cette (2 p. pl.) give here! bring here! are imperatives from dare.
