-ui

== Latin == === Etymology === As the nominative and vocative plural ending for the second declension suffix -uus, unknown, but displaced Proto-Italic *-wosjo, genitive singular of *-wos. As the dative singular for fourth declension nouns, from Proto-Italic *-owei, dative singular of *-us. === Suffix === -uī inflection of -uus: nominative/vocative masculine plural genitive masculine/neuter singular (second declension) dative masculine/feminine singular of -us (fourth declension) ==== Usage notes ==== This ending is no longer used for neuter nouns in the fourth declension, being ousted by -ū, which now occupies all endings in the singular of neuter nouns except the genitive singular, which has -ūs. The fourth declension is the only declension group to have different dative singular forms between neuter nouns and non-neuter nouns. == Lepontic == === Suffix === -ui romanization of -𐌖𐌉 == Romanian == === Etymology 1 === Probably from Latin -uneus, cf. -eus. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /uj/ ==== Suffix ==== -ui m or n (feminine singular -uie, plural -ui) Forms adjectives denoting characteristics or qualities, especially relating to color, and often with the meaning of -ish. ===== Declension ===== ===== Derived terms ===== albui, albăstrui, amărui, căprui, gălbui, verzui ===== See also ===== -iu === Etymology 2 === Modelled after Proto-Slavic *-ovati. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /uˈi/ ==== Suffix ==== -ui Forms verbs. ===== Derived terms =====
