Skundavisk

Etymology

From Middle Skundavisk villen, from Old Skundavisk villan, vilian, from Halmisk ᚹᛁᛚᛃᚨᚾ (wiljan), from Proto-Germanic *wiljaną.

Pronunciation

Verb

willen (modal verb, third-person singular simple present will, past tense wolde, past participle gewold, past subjunctive wolde, auxiliary haven)

  1. to want
    Ik will thig besøken.
    I want to visit you.
  2. (chiefly in the past) to desire, would like to
    Hi wolde gerne een nyw ferseeingboks bygen.
    He would like to buy a new television.
  3. (auxilary, with an infinitive) will (used to express the future tense, with a volition meaning)
    Si willen kommen.
    They will come.

Inflection

infinitive willen
present participle willend
past participle gewold
auxiliary haven
indicative subjunctive
present ik will wi willen ik wille wi willen
thou wilt ji willt thou willst ji willt
hi, si, hit will si, Si willen hi, si, hit wille si, Si willen
preterit ik wolde wi wolden ik wolde wi wolden
thou woldest ji woldet thou woldest ji woldet
hi, si, hit wolde si, Si wolden hi, si, hit wolde si, Si wolden
imperative will willt (ji)

Usage notes

The future tense can be expressed with either willen and skullen, the former one with a volition meaning and the latter one with a duty meaning. Therefore, both Ik will gån and Ik skall gån can be translated as I'll go, but have different underlying senses (respectively I'll go because I want to and I'll go because I have to).
