norėti

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Of unclear origin, with various theories proposed: Perhaps related to Ancient Greek νωρεῖ (nōreî, “is active”) and thus ἐνεργέω (energéō, “to operate”); if so, then ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én (“in”) + *wérǵom (“work”). When weighing both formal and semantic aspects, this is considered most appealing by Derksen. According to Smoczynski, from a Proto-Indo-European *neh₂r- (“to fear”), and connected to Hittite [script needed] (naḫḫ-, “to fear, become afraid”). This is semantically unconvincing. According to Fraenkel, related to nir̃šti (“rage”) and nar̃tas (“anger”), and thus probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂nḗr (“vital energy”). This is semantically feasible, but does not account for the Lithuanian acute tone. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [nɔˈrʲeːtʲɪ] === Verb === norė́ti (third-person present tense nóri, third-person past tense norė́jo) (transitive, with genitive) to want ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== geisti ==== Related terms ==== (noun) nóras m (adverbs): noriai norom, noromis === References === “norėti” in Martsinkyavitshute, Victoria (1993), Hippocrene Concise Dictionary: Lithuanian-English/English-Lithuanian.
