This formation was kept in Old Church Slavonic as не сѫтъ (ne sǫtŭ) (see бꙑти (byti)). However, in other South Slavic vernaculars, this form irregularly later created něsu (attested in 1334), probably influenced by něsam (see nisam). Because of the yat reflex, něsu became rendered as nisu in Ikavian speeches. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /nǐːsu/ Hyphenation: ni‧su === Verb === nísu (Cyrillic spelling ни́су) (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia) negative third-person plural present of biti === References === “nisu”, in Hrvatski jezični portal [Croatian language portal] (in Serbo-Croatian), 2006–2026 Pero Budmani, editor (1892–1897), “jesam”, in Rječnik hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika‎[5] (in Serbo-Croatian), volume 4, Zagreb: JAZU, page 606 == Votic == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *nisu. === Pronunciation === (Luutsa, Liivčülä) IPA(key): /ˈnisu/, [ˈnʲisu] Rhymes: -isu Hyphenation: ni‧su === Noun === nisu wheat ==== Inflection ==== === References === Hallap, V.; Adler, E.; Grünberg, S.; Leppik, M.
