The French verb s'asseoir has two different conjugations. In addition to the forms given, the imperfect can be formed using the stem assoy-, while the future and conditional can be formed using the stem assoir-. The imperative can also use the alternative present tense forms. The Italian verb sedersi has alternate conjugations as well. The future and conditional tenses can also use the stem sieder-.
The periphrastic past in Catalan is an alternative to the preterite. It is formed by using anar as an auxiliary verb followed by the infinitive.
vaig asseure's |
vas asseure's |
va asseure's |
vam asseure's |
vau asseure's |
van asseure's |
There is an alternative form of the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish, which is more similar to Portuguese. Simply replace -ra- with -se- for all conjugations:
me sentara / me sentase |
te sentaras / te sentases |
se sentara / se sentase |
nos sentáramos / nos sentásemos |
os sentarais / os sentaseis |
se sentaran / sentasen |
The future subjunctive is only used in formal or literary Spanish, but it is easy to conjugate since it is nearly identical to the imperfect subjunctive forms. The future subjunctive in Portuguese is very common and the same endings are used for the personal infinitive (see below).
Spanish | Portuguese |
me sentare | me sentar |
te sentares | te sentares |
se sentare | se sentar |
nos sentáremos | nos sentarmos |
os sentareis | vos sentardes |
se sentaren | se sentarem |
The personal infinitive in Portuguese uses the infinitive as the stem + the endings of the future subjunctive.
sentar-me |
sentares-te |
sentar-se |
sentarmo-nos |
sentardes-vos |
sentarem-se |
There is an alternative form of the past perfect in Portugueuse which only uses one word rather than an auxiliary verb + past participle. These conjugations are quite similar to the imperfect subjunctive conjugations using -ra- in Spanish. However, this simple form is only used in formal or literary Portuguese. (Note that the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish using -ra- can also be used in formal or literary language as an alternative to the compound past perfect.)
sentara-me |
sentaras-te |
sentara-se |
sentáramo-nos |
sentáreis-vos |
sentaram-se |
