Date: 2022-05-24 04:44 pm (UTC)A verb meaning: 'to fall in love'
Etymology is a bit murky but probably from the dialectal West Beldreni word fola, 'sudden gust of wind' - another brand new word.
Used with the all-purpose reflexive pronoun suke and, when specifying the object of one's affections, the preposition o, 'to'.
As a verb whose stem ends with -u in present tense neutral style, fofolu belongs to the third conjugation table of verbs:
Present tense (polite, neutral, familiar): fofolya, fofolu, fofola
Past tense perfective (=preterite): fofols, fofolus, fofolas
Past tense imperfective: fofolti, fofoluti, fofolati
A-tes kere o baen suke fofolus. I have fallen in love with you.
Lao o kere suke fofoluddi. You will fall in love with her.
