-ti

1. enclitic form of ti; appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive reflexive, accusative and dative forms when the object is second singular person

   dare (“to give”) → darti (“to give yourself; to give you; to give for you”)

   vendere (“to sell”) → venderti (“to sell yourself; to sell you; to sell to you”)

   servire (“to serve”) → servirti (“to serve yourself; to serve you; to serve to you”)

Usage notes

The final -e of the original infinitive is removed :

-are → -arti

-ere → -erti

-ire → -irti

Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:

introdurre (“to introduce”) → introdurti (“to introduce yourself; to introduce you; to insert in you”)

In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -ti.
