Picard

Etymology

From Old French estre, from Early Medieval Latin essere, from Latin esse.

Verb

ète

1. to be

   Ej su fort contint d’vos vir !

   I am happy to see you !

Usage notes

A liaison-letter (connection letter) -t is often added at the end of ej su ("I am") and t'es ("you are") when they are followed by a vowel, however this is a facultative feature. Thus, you may find both ej su-t itchi or ej su itchi for "I am here".
