melodiare
Italian edit
Etymology edit
From melodia (“melody”) + -are (1st conjugation verbal suffix).
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
melodiàre (no first-person singular present, first-person singular past historic melodiài, no past participle, no first-person singular subjunctive, no second-person singular imperative)
- (transitive, intransitive, literary, rare) to sing or play (music), following a melody
Usage notes edit
- This compound verb has an alternative form (melodizzare) that is used even more in the entire verbal paradigm. Both variants are not used in rhizotonic form based on the first element (the Greek root melos), but the stress falls on the second stem (ᾠδή (ōidḗ), from the verb ἀείδειν (aeídein, “to sing”)) which was absorbed by the Latin verb audīre. Hence the same by the Italian verb udire.
- Example: "ho melodzzàto" is more standardized and equivalent to "io melodiài", because the Italian language uses frequently the passato prossimo and very rarely the "past historic" (passato remoto).
