Hi Corsican learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will focus on how to use the verb "avere" (to have) in Corsican. Learning how to use this verb correctly will enable you to build more complex sentences and express yourself more accurately. Let's get started!
Take a moment to explore these relevant pages as you conclude this lesson: Questions & Conditional Mood.
"Avere" in Corsican[edit | edit source]
In Corsican, the verb "to have" is "avere". Just like in English, it is an irregular verb, which means its conjugation doesn't follow a regular pattern. Therefore, it is crucial to learn its different forms by heart.
Here is the present tense conjugation of the verb "avere":
Person | Corsican | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|---|
1st person singular | o'ai | oh-eye | I have |
2nd person singular | t'ai | tai | you have (singular) |
3rd person singular | hà | ah | he/she has |
1st person plural | avemu | a-ve-moo | we have |
2nd person plural | avete | a-ve-te | you have (plural) |
3rd person plural | hannu | han-nu | they have |
Using "avere" in Present Tense[edit | edit source]
Now that we have learned the conjugation of "avere" in Corsican, let's see how to use it. The verb "avere" is used in several contexts, the most common one being to express possession. Here are a few examples:
- Ho una macchina. (I have a car.)
- Oghje t'ai da fà. (Today, you have something to do.)
- Hè un bellu ghjocu chì t'hai. (It is a beautiful game that you have.)
- Avenu quattru figlioli. (We have four children.)
- Avete una bellissima casa. (You have a beautiful house.)
- Hannu un gattu. (They have a cat.)
As you can see, the verb "avere" is followed by the object that is being possessed. In Corsican, unlike in English, the verb "to be" is not used to express possession.
Using "avere" in Past Tense[edit | edit source]
To form the past tense of "avere", you need to use the auxiliary verb "esse" (to be) in its corresponding form, and add the past participle of "avere". The past participle of "avere" is "aviutu".
Here's how you conjugate "avere" in the past tense:
Person | Corsican | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|---|
1st person singular | o hè avutu | oh eh a-voo-too | I had |
2nd person singular | t'hè avutu | te eh a-voo-too | you had (singular) |
3rd person singular | hà avutu | ah a-voo-too | he/she had |
1st person plural | avemu avutu | a-ve-moo a-voo-too | we had |
2nd person plural | avete avutu | a-ve-te a-voo-too | you had (plural) |
3rd person plural | hannu avutu | han-nu a-voo-too | they had |
Here are some examples of how to use "avere" in the past tense:
- Aio avutu una macchina vecchia. (I had an old car.)
- T'hè avutu una buona idea. (You had a good idea.)
- Ogni volta chì hà avutu un pussu, l'hà dittu à mè. (Every time he had a problem, he told me.)
- Avemu avutu un bellu viaghju chì ghjerna. (We had a beautiful trip that was unforgettable.)
- Avete avutu tanta fortuna. (You had so much luck.)
- Hanno avutu bisognu d'aiutu. (They had needed help.)
Using "avere" in Future Tense[edit | edit source]
To form the future tense of "avere", you need to use the present tense of the verb "avere" and add the infinitive of the verb you want to express in the future.
Here's how you conjugate "avere" in the future tense:
Person | Corsican | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|---|
1st person singular | o avrò | oh ah-vroh | I will have |
2nd person singular | t'avrài | ta-vra-ee | you will have (singular) |
3rd person singular | avrà | ah-vra | he/she will have |
1st person plural | avremu | ah-vre-moo | we will have |
2nd person plural | avrete | ah-vre-te | you will have (plural) |
3rd person plural | avrannu | ah-vra-nu | they will have |
Here are some examples:
- Avrò bisognu di i soldi. (I will need the money.)
- T'avrài tanti amichi stu simanu. (You will have many friends this week.)
- Ùn capiscu ciò ch'ellu avrà à dì. (I don't understand what he will have to say.)
- Avremu tanti bisogni da soddidà. (We will have many needs to satisfy.)
- Avrete un bellissimu tempu quaggiù. (You will have a beautiful time down here.)
- Avrannu tanti bisogni à studià. (They will have many needs to study.)

To help you practice and see the verb "avere" in context, here's a dialogue between two friends, Marco and Maria:
- Marco: Ciau Maria, t'ai ughjè una novità ? (Hi Maria, do you have any news?)
- Maria: Sì, ùn mi sentu micca bè sta settimana. (Yes, I don't feel well this week.)
- Marco: Oh, perchè ? T'hà avutu qualcosa ? (Oh, why? Did you have something?)
