Tarun 6 Report post Posted February 11, 2002 So every 3rd conjugation root duplicates in present tense. If "dadAti pratighRNAti" is put into past or future tense, then duplicated da prefix drops? A few more examples? Sometimes we see consonant change & duplication: veda, vidyA-vadhU, vit, vetti, vettha, viThThala: vedAnta kRT veda-vit evam yo vetti tattvataH yei KRSNa-tattva vettha sei guru haya (Bangla-bhAsA) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jagat 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2002 I'm not sure what you mean in all these examples, none of which show reduplication of the verb stem or root. vid is a verb root that is conjugated according to two different systems with different meanings. It produces a lot of different forms as a result. The reduplicated forms would be vividiSati for desiderative ("he wants to know") vividiSA ("the desire to know"), vividiSu ("one who wants to know") viveda for the perfect ("he knew") vevidyate (or vevetti) for the intensive ("he really knows, he keeps on knowing") The present tense conjugation vedmi I know vetsi you know vetti he knows vidmaH we know vettha you know vidanti they know vettR (nom. vettA) "knower", vit ("knower," at end of compounds, as in veda-vit. viTThala is something totally different. vi- is also a prefix, so that may add to the confusion, but I don't think there is any form of the verb vid with a vi- prefix.

Avinash 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 In Bhagavad Gita 18.1, a word 'veditum' is used. It is translated as 'to know'. Could somebody describe the usage of 'tum' prefix in more detail (by giving some examples)? Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
