1   Croatian spelling: others omit the infinitive suffix completely and bind the clitic.
2   For masculine nouns; a feminine or neuter agent would use the feminine and neuter gender forms of the active past participle and auxiliary verb, respectively.
3   Often replaced by the past perfect in colloquial speech, i.e. the auxiliary verb biti (to be) is routinely dropped.
4   Often replaced by the conditional I in colloquial speech, i.e. the auxiliary verb biti (to be) is routinely dropped.
  *Note: The aorist and imperfect were not present in, or have nowadays fallen into disuse in, many dialects and therefore they are routinely replaced by the past perfect in both formal and colloquial speech.

Ukrainian

Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic ложити (ložiti), from Proto-Slavic *ložiti. Causative of лежа́ти (ležáty). Cognate with Russian ложить (ložitʹ), Belarusian лажыць (lažycʹ), Czech ložit, and Polish łożyć.

Pronunciation

Verb

ложи́ти (ložýtyimpf (perfective положи́ти)

  1. (colloquial, proscribed) to lay, to put, to place
    Synonym: кла́сти (klásty)

Usage notes

  • The imperfective form ложи́ти (without any prefixes) is considered non-standard in modern Ukrainian. The verb кла́сти (klásty) should be used instead.
  • Ложи́ти is often used colloquially (sometimes much more often than the standard класти (klasty)).
  • The prefixed forms of ложи́ти are considered standard and are sometimes used as perfectives for the derivatives of -клада́ти (-kladáty) in parallel with the prefixed forms of кла́сти (klásty) (e.g. заложи́ти (založýty) can act as a perfective for заклада́ти (zakladáty) alongside закла́сти (zaklásty)), however the prefixed forms of ложи́ти and класти (klasty) are often not identical in meaning (compare обложи́ти (obložýty) and обкла́сти (obklásty)).
