The form might have been contaminated by Etymology 2, especially as the latter one's long vowel also ended up short via iambic shortening; this would explain the reluctance to spell the aspirate, as well as its interpretation as a verb form.

(a formal expression of greeting) Synonym: (h)avētō Aue Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. ===== Usage notes ===== Outside of grammarians, the plural (h)avēte is attested only once in Apuleius, who is known for affecting archaisms. This suggests that this greeting didn't usually inflect for number, reflecting its originally being an interjection and not a verbal form; nevertheless, it was eventually widely interpreted as the latter. The other verbal forms cited by grammarians are the future imperative avētō tū, ille (“greetings to you, him”) etc., and the infinitive in the circumlocution avēre tē volō (after the same use with valēre and the very rare salvēre). ===== Derived terms ===== (h)avētō Ave Marīa === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈa.weː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaː.ve] ==== Verb ==== avē second-person singular present imperative of aveō === Etymology 3 === ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈa.wɛ] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaː.ve] ==== Noun ==== ave m vocative singular of avus === Etymology 4 === ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈa.wɛ] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaː.ve] ==== Noun ==== ave f ablative singular of avis === References === “avē, havē” in the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL Open Access), Berlin (formerly Leipzig): De Gruyter (formerly Teubner), 1900–present === Further reading === “ave”, in Gaffiot, Félix (1934), Dictionnaire illustré latin-français, Hachette.

This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al ave, del ave. This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form of un, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una also occurs): un ave or una ave. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna). However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) are used: la mejor ave, una buena ave. In these cases, el and un are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latin illa and una, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they are allomorphs of the feminine singular articles la and una. The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun: el ave única, un(a) ave buena. In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las, unas, etc.) are always used. Ave is also the scientific term, while pájaro is used more in common speech for the smaller birds. ===== Hyponyms ===== See also Category:es:Birds. ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Related terms ===== === Etymology 2 === Inherited from Old Spanish ave, from Latin avē (“hello, hail”). ==== Interjection ==== ave (used when coming into a house) hello, hail === Etymology 3 === From the acronym AVE (Alta Velocidad Española), meaning high-speed train (written mostly all caps). ==== Noun ==== ave f (plural aves) (Spain) high-speed train === Further reading === “ave”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025 == Tolai == === Alternative forms === avet (when not preceding a verb) === Pronoun === ave First-person exclusive plural pronoun: they (many) and I, them (many) and me ==== Declension ==== == Venetan == === Noun === ave plural of ava
