## Aromanian
### Alternative forms

* amu

### Etymology

The verb as a whole derives from forms of the Latin habeō, habēre. The first-person present singular form am(u), along with some other inflected forms, may have been analogical constructions (in this case, from an old form (aemu) of first-person plural (now avem)), or influenced by nearby languages. Compare Romanian avea, am; cf. also Albanian kam (“to have”). The third-person singular present indicative, ari, may have derived from Latin haberet.

### Verb

am first-singular present indicative (third-person singular present indicative ari or are, imperfect aveam, simple perfect avui, past participle avutã)
* to have
* to own
* (auxiliary, with past participles) to have ...

### Etymology 1

Inflected form of avea. Probably an analogical construction based on the old first-person plural or perhaps influenced by similar forms in other languages. Compare Aromanian am(u); cf. also Albanian kam (“I have”).

#### Verb

am
* first-person singular present indicative of avea
    (I) have
* first-person singular present subjunctive of avea

### Etymology 2

From old Romanian amu, presumably from an earlier (proto-) Romanian form aemu (attested in Aromanian), from Latin habēmus. The original first-person singular in proto-Romanian was aibu, from Latin habeō, but was changed to am(u) by analogy with the first-person plural. The form with -v- (avem) in the present form of the verb's main conjugation (as opposed to its use in this form as an auxiliary verb) may have been remade by analogy with avut; am may also be seen as a reduced, clitic form of avem. See also ați, which has a parallel development.

#### Verb

am
* (eu) am (modal auxiliary, first-person singular form of avea, used with past participles to form perfect compus tenses)
    (I) have...
       Eu am câștigat meciul.I have won the match.
* (noi) am (modal auxiliary, first-person plural form of avea, used with past participles to form perfect compus tenses)
    (we) have...
       Noi am fost la biserică duminică.We have been to church on Sunday.

##### Related terms

* ai

### Etymology 3

Presumably from a Vulgar Latin *eamus, from Latin habēbāmus.

#### Verb

am
* (noi) am (modal auxiliary, first-person plural form of avea, used with infinitives to form conditional tenses)
