Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [at͡sʲ]
• Rhymes: -at͡sʲ

Etymology 1

Probably from an old or proto-Romanian form aeți (with a similar form attested in Aromanian), from Latin habētis. The form with -v- (aveți) 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; ați may also be seen as a reduced, clitic form of aveți See also am, which has a parallel development.
