Τύπος Β1 ρήματα*
Greek type AB verb endings are the same as for B1 verbs:
εγώ | -ω | εμείς | -με | |
εσύ | -ς | εσείς | -τε | |
αυτός | -ει | αυτοί | -νε |
Για παράδειγμα …
τρώω (eat)
εγώ | τρώω | εμείς | τρώμε | |
εσύ | τρώς | εσείς | τρώτε | |
αυτός | τρώει | αυτοί | τρώνε |
Common type AB verbs
ακούω | listen, hear | |
καίω | burn | |
κλαίω | cry | |
λέω | say, tell | |
πάω | go | |
τρώω | eat | |
φταίω | blame |
* I’ve also seen these called type B verbs.
Recognizing type AB verbs
The εγώ conjugation of type AB verbs always ends in a vowel other than a** + unaccented ω.
** Exception: πάω
They have the same endings, so what’s the difference between B1 and AB verbs? The latter do not have two conjugations in the 1st and 3rd person singular and 3rd person plural.
