miassn

Bavarian

Alternative forms

• miaßn (alternative spelling)

Etymology

From Middle High German muozen, from Old High German muozan, from Proto-West Germanic *mōtan.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈmiɐ̯sːn̩/

Verb

miassn (past participle gmiasst or miassn)

1. (auxiliary) must, to have to

Usage notes

• gmiasst is the common perfect participle in West Central Bavaria and Southern Bavaria and miassn in East Central Bavaria.
• Miassn can express the necessity of doing something, but also the moral duty. Soin expresses moral duty or the suggestion that something ought to be done. Both verbs can express a duty imposed by someone else. In this case miassn is stronger than soin, implying that the imposing person has some kind of power to make the other really do it.
