vadinti

== Ido == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /vaˈdinti/ === Verb === vadinti plural nominal past active participle of vadar == Lithuanian == === Alternative forms === vadýti (dialectal) === Etymology === Etymology disputed. Either: According to Trautmann and Buga, from Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (“to lead”). Related to vèsti (“to lead”), vãdas, vadõvas (“leader”), Latvian vadinât (“to lead, accompany, urge, lure”). Due to reasonable semantics and lack of conflict with Winter's Law, this derivation is preferred by Derksen. According to Smoczynski, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedH- (“sound, speak”). Related to Proto-Slavic *vaditi (“to argue, scold”), Sanskrit वदति (vadati, “to speak, tell”), perhaps Ancient Greek αὐδή (audḗ, “voice”). The semantics are a closer match than the derivation above, but the phonetics are in conflict with Winter's Law. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ʋɐ¹ˈdʲɪnʲtʲɪ] Rhymes: -ɪnʲtʲɪ Syllabification: va‧di̇̀n‧ti === Verb === vadi̇̀nti (third-person present tense vadi̇̀na, third-person past tense vadi̇̀no) to call (transitive) to summon, beckon (transitive) to name, designate, give title [with instrumental ‘title or role’] (transitive) to invite, ask ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “vadinti”, in Lietuvių kalbos žodynas [Dictionary of the Lithuanian language], lkz.lt, 1941–2026 “vadinti”, in Dabartinės lietuvių kalbos žodynas [Dictionary of contemporary Lithuanian], ekalba.lt, 1954–2026
