The -am/-ām participle

Postby Vāvere » 2008-01-08, 15:25

Can you give me a complete list of verbs that require the -am/-ām participle? I have a short list including four verbs (redzēt, dzirdēt, just, and atrast), but I suppose it's scant. I would also appreciate the translation of each verb and an example of their usage in a sentence.

you mean like atrod-am ? It is ending in plural first person - virtually all verbs have it

Yes, all verbs have the ending, but that's not what I wanted to know. I'm interested in the list of the verbs which require that the action performed by the object of the sentence is expressed with the -am/-ām participle. For example, the verb redzēt requires this participle:

Viņš redzēja tevi nākam.
