Měl zahrát gis, ale omylem zahrál ais.

cs-noun

-is n (noun-forming suffix, indeclinable)


-is

ending of past tense in verbs, e.g. ami to love, ŝi amis she loved.

The Esperanto suffixes -as, -is, -os, -us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects:
: This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's: -as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765; -a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's -as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had -am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as -um corresponds to Z's -us. —An International Language (1928)
The vowel of -is is likely cognate with the Latin perfect, as in amavit "s/he had loved", and the corresponding past infinitive amavisse.


-is

petma (“to con, to trick”) + -is → petis (“conman, trickster, cheat, fraud”)

näitama (“to show”) + -is → näidis (“sample, specimen”)

väli (“field, area”) + -is → välis- (“outside”)

võidma ("to spread", "to anoint") → võidis- in võidisvaal ("sperm whale")
