Etymology

edit

Latin exsistō +‎ -uoti, possibly influenced by Polish egzystować.

edit

egzistúoti (third-person present tense egzistúoja, third-person past tense egzistãvo)

  1. to exist

Usage notes

edit
  • In the negative, ne is simply prefixed to the start of the verb, i.e. neegzist-, rather than coalescing into *negzist-, as would be done with eiti.
