Wikifunctions:Type proposals/Italian auxiliary verb

Summary

This enumeration should represent an Italian auxiliary verb. In Italian, each verb has an auxiliary verb that can be either "essere" or "avere" that must be used in composite tenses. While there is the consistent rule that transitive verbs must have the auxiliary "avere" (because "essere" is reserved for the passive and reflexive voices), for intransitive verbs there is no consistent rule, and the correct auxiliary verb must be consulted in a dictionary (or, in our case, on Wikidata).

Uses

• As the return value of functions that search on Wikidata the correct auxiliary verb for an Italian verb
• As an input value for functions that conjugate Italian verbs in composite tenses

Elements of the enumeration

• essere (L5139)
• avere (L5138)
